Those Dexterous Dees

Here we are on another day of the NaBloPoMo and I'm once again clicking through that LOOONG list of the participants. We are now looking at the D's.

Note 1: I'm going to be on vacation for part of November. I'll be able to mobile post and post saved items... but I don't know that I'll be able to hit every category on the list. I'm thinking about finding a couple of like-minded bloggers who would like to hit a couple of the categories for me while I'm on vacation. Edit: Several bloggers have taken the torch! There is now a team of dedicated readers! One of us will be hitting your blog!

Note 2: I've been reading some great blogs. It's just impossible for me to include everyone's. If I made a post on your blog something about it caught my eye. If I mention you here, I think your blog is noteworthy. If I've not commented or mentioned you, it doesn't necessarily mean I didn't like your blog.

Right now there are 71 D blogs. Random results of things I noticed:

15% of them are out of the competition, missing a post day.
38% of them were mom (or dad) blogs.
15% were personal ramblings that I couldn't really find an overall theme for.
17.5% I really wasn't sure what the blog was supposed to be about, I guess these could also be considered personal.
5.5% were medical/medicine/doctor
2.5% were definitely student (I'm sure there were more, it just wasn't obvious)
1% seemed to be mostly focused on religion.
1% seemed to be focused on horses (and family)
6% seemed to be focused on writing (and/or books)

The first D blog on the list is Dad Daily Blog: cute slide show header... uhoh! No posts since the 1st. Dadoughkids had a very entertaining post over a 911 call made by her child. Pluck the Petal has some nice photographs, and some fun photographs of her son's hair transformation.

There were a ton of parent blogs in this category... some delightful, some rather blah. Some of the posts from today's list were slow loaders... and a couple had some layouts that were difficult to read or weren't very aesthetic.

The Dana Files, however, is a nice looking blog with interesting and well written posts.

Entertaining titles and posts abound at Dante's Inferno with Children. I found The Days are just Packed a nice site with some interesting posts and some nice pictures on today's post. It's a simple template layout, but it's still nice. I've never really given much thought to hot water bottles... but Derivative of Witty has a post on hot water bottles and apparently they come in many different shapes and sizes. I wonder if some people are grasping for blog topics or if the posts I'm seeing represent their regular posting habits... I guess we'll just have to keep on reading to find out.

Destinations Journey of a Restless Mind has some nice looking images.

Devilish Southern Belle is definitely a nice place to visit... great design, loved the header, and interesting posts. I found a distracting link on Dharma's Universe. I just had to stop and find out which wife I would have been:

Which of Henry VIII's wives are you?

I have to add that I just don't find Myspace blogs as nice as other blog tools.

For a killer (yes, it might send you into diabetic shock) cake recipe, scroll down on Diary of a Crazed Mommy's blog. Hehe, I really enjoyed visiting A Dingo Ate My Baby. Displaced was an interesting stop and so was, Distracted by Shiny Objects. Doah Leigh caught my eye with her post titled, "My Magic Underwear". Hahah

Oh look! Here's an absolute write member, Drive by Booking. She's got some great nano/blo movement! Keep going and good luck!
