Columbus Best Blog is a RealTown Blog.  Maureen.RealTownBlogs.com is the url.  RealTown Blogs Member List shows approximately 1200 member blogs, today.  In an effort to copy Sellsius^o (because I do copy, or respond to Sellsius^o Blog's fun entries each and every chance I get...) here is my Ten Best Real Town Bloggers list.  The Ten Best RealTown Blogs (IMHO) are not all female bloggers.  The Ten Best RealTown Blogs list (IMHO) cross and recross (spell check tells me recross is not a word and suggests redress?... I will stick with recross...) gender lines in an effort to give credit where credit is due.  

1.  Best Cool Refreshing Blog - Real Estate Snippets by Bonnie Erickson... It's a Minnesota snowflake and I am one of her biggest fans.  Bonnie is one of Sellsius ^o Top 10 Women Bloggers.
2.  Best Newbie N.J. Blog - Somerset 08873 by Michael Adams
3.  Best use of a hogs head on a community blog  Welcome To Shavehead Lake On The Web! by Mike Bosela up in MI. The link will take you to the 'Hogs Head.'
4.  Best Curmudgeonly Blog and Best Ranting on an RT Blog-The Gene Molloy Real Estate Blog by the one and only Gene Molloy of Chicagoland.
5.  Best Use of a Long Geographically Titled Blog... All the points were tallied and it is a tie between:

Real Estate Blog for Palo Alto, Mountain View, California, and Surrounding Communities by  Lynne Mercer and Real Estate Blog for the Golden Isles of GA including St. Simons Island, Jekyll Island, Sea Island, and Brunswick, GA.... by Sally Hardman. 

6. Best Use of her Muse - Real Estate Bits and Pieces by Susan Pruden in Prince George's County MD. (That is pronounced "youze of her muze")

7. Best "Extra, Extra! Read All About IT!" coverage of local real estate news- Florida Real Estate Blog by Leanne Paynter. Love the little newspapers... all the news links.

8. Best Self Promotion - Ardell's Seattle Area Real Estate Blog by Ardell DellaLoggia. Ardell is one of Sellsius^o Top 10 Women Bloggers. Ardell is also part of the award winning Seattle's Rain City Guide.  

9. Best Charitable use of a blog the Web Women Giving Circle blog by Frances Flynn Thorsen and Joeann Fossland. Joeann is one of Sellsius^o Top 10 Women Bloggers.  I think of Fran a PA REALTOR® as my fairy blog mother, she was the first real estate blogger I knew of.  It's hard to keep up with all Joeann and Fran are involved in; they're everywhere, blog on multiple blogs....

finally in an effort to be an inclusive, worldly and sophisticated "BEST of" list....

10. Best use of a real estate blog by a transgendered person - Manhattan Loft Guy by Sandy Mattingly...

       ooops my mistake.  Sandy Mattingly was ALWAYS a male   I just assumed Sandy was a female when I met HIM online a couple of years ago...  I read his posts on a national real estate forum and assumed for months that Sandy was a sassy female NYC real estate agent.  It never crossed my mind that Sandy was not a female.  Now that's good writing!  No masculine chest pounding, no cave man grunts...  what a guy! 

No joking I love reading Sandy's NYC blog.   Tomorrow RT Blogs...honorable mentions
