Have a blog you'd like to see listed here? We'll post it here--but let's make a deal. Send a list of your favorite social work blogs along with the blog you're looking to promote. Five is great. If you can explain what you like about the blogs, better still. Send submissions to iblogsocialwork [at] gmail.com.

Here's an example of a favorites list:

The Social Work Podcast (http://socialworkpodcast.blogspot.com/). For all things social work. Intellligent, informative discussions of a huge array of topics.
Social Work Helper (http://www.socialworkhelper.com/). For sheer volume of social work related posts, unmatched.
Social Work Test Prep Blog (http://www.socialworktestprep.com/blog). Licensing exam prep help including links to lots of free resources.
Social Justice Solutions (http://www.socialjusticesolutions.org/). Keep your inner advocate stoked!
Social Work Career Development (http://www.dorleem.com/). Especially like the weekly "Best in Mental Health" series linking to articles from around the web.

Social Work Podcasts

Podcasts still count as blogs, right? Even if they don't, they deserve to be included in this directory. The Social Work Podcast and the others are doing good work. Enjoy!

Social Work Exam Blogs

Next added, a bunch from the helpful sidebar list on Pass the ASWB Exam. (Just added the ones currently posting.) Blogging--both doing and reading--is not a bad way to help you get prepared for the licensing exam. If that's you, good luck!
