Every so often, I run across a set of sites that are noticeable enough that I remember to return to them. It may be due to various features like their content, the person behind the site, the layout of their site, consistency of their posting of articles, or other related features. The following is a set of three sites I would like to point out at this time, along with a description of their content and qualities:
The Rat Race Trap
Run by Stephen Mills, The Rat Race Trap is a site full of cleanly described information about succeeding and the inner workings of our brains. Stephen has been publishing new articles regularly, and each new one continues to have depth on the topic at hand. One example set of three articles he wrote is called “Live Now”, and it includes information about his own experiences and personality in relation to his message of how you should live and take charge in the present time. There are articles about brain chemistry, and other ones about goals. He has recently started another site with Jonathan from Advanced Life Skills called BloggingTheBrain.
Big Idea Blogger
Charles Yang from Big Idea Blogger writes about the big idea of what separates regular writers from great writers. He discusses interaction with readers and communication tactics, . The way his articles are written is similar to that of a product landing page, and I say that in a complimentary fashion, as the points are very well laid out and presented. It is almost like you are being spoken to while you are reading the articles, as the conversational nature he imparts on the reader is the same he is trying to get the reader to impart on their readers, if they have a site of their own. You won’t leave an article of his not knowing the message he was trying to send.
Command Your Time
Command Your Time, run by Dan Miranda, is a relatively new site that has articles that are open, simple, and direct. The material featured on the site is that which can help bring success to its readers, through motivational tips or discussion about confidence. Dan is younger than most site-writers, and this is quite beneficial, not only for his more unfiltered communication, but also for the societal pressure he puts on other younger individuals who see his level of understanding and effort, and will become more likely to advance forward. An audio interview with him done by Koorosh Vahabi is able to be listened to here.

keep ‘em coming
alex – unleash reality
Thanks for these interesting links, I’ll check them out –
Charles: I am glad to have provided it, and I would say that your writing style is already of its own engaging type. Here is to continued big ideas.
Alex: I do like to put a bit more emphasis on the characteristics of a site, so people know what they are heading towards. I also like showcasing the people behind the words, because they/we are out there in the public as well.
The energy you are bringing is appreciated and we will both keep it coming.
Paul: Certainly, and I would add that all three of these sites are in a positive state of growth, as far as I can see.
Hey Armen, Glad to see Stephen from Rat Race Trap featured here. He’s a great blogger and deserves the recognition. I also appreciate his fine work.
Jonathan: I sure was glad to put his material up on there. He has been putting out plenty of full articles that are easy to read. Your teaming up with him on the new site is a cool venture. Your message here caused me to look and see that the link to your site was not in the post where I referred to it, so I have set the link. Thanks for your input.
