Recently, I set out to find the top bloggers in the Hamilton and Burlington area. Little did I realize that there were so many active bloggers in the area blogging about subjects ranging from Politics to Pulled Pork.
There were so many Hamilton & Burlington bloggers creating great content it was difficult to pick just 10 blogs. In order to make the list the blog had to be by someone who lives in the Hamilton & Burlington area.
Here are some of the criteria I used to narrow the list down:
Country Gardener is a blog by author and publisher Yvonne Cunnington. She blogs about her beautiful gardens on her property near Hamilton and the gardens she visits on her travels. The colourful photos that accompany each blog post make Yvonne’s blog a joy to read.

This blog features movies reviews, interviews with actors and a weekly podcast. Started by John Campea in 2003 and now managed by fellow Hamiltonian Rodney Brazeau, The Movie Blog is so popular it has been quoted in Time magazine and it’s read by Hollywood actors and directors.
