Today's Blogger of Note is Millions of Atoms.

Eric is a father of twins with too much time on his hands (which is a direct contradiction). He needed an outlet to express the strange things that enter his mind, and the internet graciously allowed him a little spot in a dusty corner to do just that. Living in New Jersy (he doesn't know 'what exit'), he says he feels like he belongs in Iowa for some unknown reason.

Looking For a Few Good Blogs


In just six months since beginning Words of Wisdom we have featured over 70 Bloggers of Note, and we couldn't be more pleased.

Most of our BONs, as they've come to be called, came to us on their own but many were nominated by others. The variety of writing styles and blog formats has been amazing. We have definitely tapped into a great reservoir of talent and been able to share it.

As of this writing we have many bloggers in line who will be featured in the upcoming weeks and months. But we want more! We want to see WOW continue to grow.

If this is your first time visiting Words of Wisdom and you're wondering what we are about, WOW is a place for bloggers who enjoy reading and writing great content to find each other.

By great content we mean blog posts that are thought-provoking and/or insightful. Blog posts that make the reader stop and think and maybe even feel compelled to "join the conversation" by leaving a well thought-out comment. These posts can be serious or humorous. They can be about any topic. But what they have in common is content. Great content.

So if you are a "blogger of substance" and would like to be featured, send us an email and tell us about your blog.

If you know a blogger who deserves to be highlighted as Blogger of Note, please email us with a link to their blog and we'll do the rest.

As always we appreciate your comments and suggestions and look forward to bringing you more "Bloggers of Note."
