Introducing TBF’s Project:Blog
In an effort to help wade through the millions (literally) of fashion and shopping related blogs that popped up on the web in the past year or so, I created a project called project:blog.The creatively titled project allows up and coming fashion/beauty/shopping related bloggers to post their blogs free of charge (in exchange for a link back to the Project:Blog homepage) and gives readers to vote and post comments on their on these blogs, as well as find out what blog are worth reading. It is my hope that the project will help link readers with some great blogs who might be hard to discover in the great abyss we call the internet.
