Kristi Hines Most improved blogs of 2009 3rd place runner up

Kikolani a blog owned by Kristi Hines  is in my opinion one of  the most improved blogs of 2009 although Kristi probably works 20 times harder and smarter then the guys in the top two spots, she sent the email back first so  I apologized and asked if I can put her as third. All three of the bloggers mentioned are not messing around and they all kicked some serious ass in 2009. I hope you come back between now and Christmas day when I announce who I think was the hardest working blogger on the Planet in 2009 and no it’s NOT ME Silly :)

Kristi Hines is a young, smart, nice, pretty, funny,cool, blogging friend of mine. I watched her take her main totally awesome blog KIKOLANI.COM from a new do follow site to one of the best blogging tips blogs on the PLANET , a  place for REAL  bloggers to connect  on the internet. There’s no telling what 2010 will bring for Kristi as she expands her reach and skills ( she has plenty ) it would be nice to see her start an awesome web related company and have hundreds if not thousands of people working for her. (or with her as she is very easy when it comes to networking and being anyone’s friend :)
Kikolani is a blog about blogging, poetry and social media related topics.Always positive and upbeat Kristi knows how to tap an audience to respond.

Some stats about Kikolani.com

kikolani alexa stats Most improved blogs of 2009 3rd place runner upkikolani screenshot 499x200 Most improved blogs of 2009 3rd place runner upKristi’s main blog is currently a PR4 do follow blog that is always open to new people and new ways of reaching out to bloggers around the world, from the successful Fetching Friday series where she hooks up many bloggers posting their links do followed each week. I have been blessed to be added many times and I always consider it a great week in blogging if I get at least one of my posts mentioned. The sites design has evolved as it uses thesis and is laid out clean, fast loading and you won’t see any php errors on that page.

I was able to at a distance watch Kristi dream of maybe one day finding the right one and then followed along as she shared some of the most beautiful weddings photos EVER :)

Way to much talent for me to keep up with I do plan on following behind bloggers like Kristi. I only hope that 2010 brings her all the financial success she deserves and our friendship is  even closer.

If your a blogger frustrated with lame friends and need some quality bloggers to network with you can follow Kristi @ http://twitter.com/kikolani

Thanks Kristi you been there for me many times when there wasn’t many around and I do appreciate your friendship and wish you all the best.

Thanks so much… I’m honored to be included in your list! Thanks for including all of the link love to my other sites as well. I think one of the most improved things about my blog is the way it allowed me to expand into having a portfolio and introduced me to Dofollow in a way that I could see the benefits to creating a community around dofollow resources.

Thanks again so much, and I can’t want to see first & second place.

I was directed here upon reading the news feed on Kristi’s FB. I’m very happy that you made this wonderful choice as Kristi has always been a delightful and giving blogger. She’s dedicated and hardworking in making things happen for her career. Wish her the best in the coming year. In my dictionary, she has already won the title. :)

I found her blog from a site that lists Do-Follow blogs somewhere. Ended up being a reader of her blog every now and then. She is great and friendly :)

Kristi is fantastic and I visit her site often. I have learned a lot from her and hope to continue learning more.

@John – this is a fantastic thing you are doing and will surely help others to find her site. I think the detail you go into, is something to be admired by all. Keep up the great work.

You couldn’t have made a better choice here, which means I’m really going to be intrigued by who you’ve selected above her. I had actually commented on her blog a week or two that she had done some amazing things with her blog this year and that I was proud of her. It’s nice to see someone besides me has recognized her growth. Nice job.

Afte trying to grasp on to what big John Sullivan had tossed in the air when it comes to blogging information, one of the very next places I went was Kristi’s site. Kristi is one of the best, simple as that and honestly in my opinion should have been ranked higher than me. Hell I can’t even spell half the time.

Congratulations Kristi and if you haven’t already done so make sure you check out Kikolani.com, well that is if you feel like learning anything today.
