Why 101?
This is my 101st post hence I took this opportunity of first celebrating with my readers the completion of 100 Blog posts on my website and second to help find resources online for my those Blog friends who wants to write but are falling short of Ideas.
Before we proceed ahead with the list of URLs I want to share the concept behind the complete 101 thing. The Portray, outline or the skeleton of the blog can be either inherited from outside or can come as an inspiration but believe me for writing a single post you have to read a lot, for example you want to write post of 1000 characters for writing it in your own words you have to read at least 5K-10K word idea or else you will be short of words in your post and your idea is either half portrayed or is a complete dump in front of the reader who has no idea of what so ever you talking about. I break this concept of finding Idea for your post into 4 parts :-
A. From Search Engines :::: 26 Relevant Links
B. From Other Blog Sites :::: 25 Relevant Links
C. From Online Resources :::: 25 Relevant Links
D. From Social Networking and News Media :::: 25 Relevant Links
Please note that it is not the Top 101 sort of list. They are just arranged as I found them and tried to keep most sought after first.

I have not written anything about some of the Search Engines and social networking, news site because I want my readers to share experiences on following these sites.I gave news sites because there editorials can make you write some best blogs on the planet. The social networking sites keeps you up to date on what is hot on web so your blog should never lag behind in popularity chart.
As the Saying goes a good Speaker is an excellent listener same is with writing good writers are patient readers as they express themselves after researching the subject efficiently and effectively.
Happy Blogging…
