It’s been awhile since I visited my StumbleUpon account; I had forgotten how much great content can be found using the popular social bookmarking site.
You know, there are so many great resources out there we bloggers can use to help increase our knowledge and generate ideas that it almost sucks! There’s so much I want to learn, read, and sites I want to explore and yet time always haunts me.
Ever feel like that?
Ok I’m rambling, yeah I know – I tend to do that.
In any case, when I visited my StumbleUpon account I surfed around some of my old bookmarks for awhile and thought about how many of my blog readers would probably find a lot of these articles interesting. So here’s a nice list all packaged up for you . . .

Hi John,
I love this list.
My favorite is #10
It’s a great reminder it doesn’t matter if our blog is new, old, big or small, we can all be subjected to hackers.
I’m off to check out more of the links…..
Thank you!

Hi Rian. I too haven’t been visiting my SU page lately. I use the SU tool bar in my web browser and stumble a few articles, but I rarely have been active in that community these days.

Thanks John. I can’t wait to check some of these out. I really miss my StumbleUpon account – I had some great bookmarks in there.
I know some crap gets voted up sometimes by the groups who constantly vote each others stuff. But really brilliant things get a lot of votes, so it’s a great system for finding cool stuff.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about you and SU. That was really some crap if you ask me. The site does, however, help people find valuable and informative websites. I hadn’t visited my account in a while and when I did recently, I was like – wow, good stuff here.
