There are some fantastic Online Community Managers out there who are wonderful at sharing information and experiences about Online Community Management. Here are some of my favourites:

Connie Bensen.
Is a huge advocate of Community Managers and shares her insight on job descriptions, roles, responsibilities and salaries of CM's. A great blog for anyone in a CM role, looking to enter the role, or for companies looking to hire an Online Community Manager.

Community Spark
Martin Reed has been an Online Community Manager for almost 10 years and has been quoted in many publications and has helped organizations with their community management needs.

Jono Bacon
Online Community Manager for Ubunto and author of "Managing Online Communities"

Community Girl
Angela Connor writes from the front lines about her day-to-day management of a community she manages for a NC news station.

Holly Seddon and Matt Rhodes
Bothfrom Fresh Networks, they blog about many aspects of community management from many different perspectives.

Rachel Happe
Co-founder of The Community Roundtable, a private peer network for community managers and social media practitioners.


I have more and will add them to this thread when I can.

Do you have suggestions for blogs that you read about community managers? If so don't keep them to yourself, share the details here.

Blaise Grimes-Viort is doing great stuff on his blog. If you are looking for some generic Online Community Manager job descriptions for your company, or personal use, then you must check out his site.

He is also great at adding Social Media and OCM resources.

A great blog article by Cameron Chapman about "Applying “A Pattern Language” To Online Community Design" Lots of great tips on how to lay out your community, how many levels you should consider and thoughts about how to entice members through your home page to join your community.
