Blogger Appreciation Day
April 14th, 2008Welcome to Blogging Sueblimely. To keep up with my posts you can subscribe to my RSS feed and follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!
Darren Rowse of ProBlogger has declared today an unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day with the aim of spreading acts of random kindness and encouragement amongst bloggers. Darren was prompted to start this initiative because of messages he had received from bloggers who were feeling disheartened.
I often talk of social networking and its value in bringing us visitors, backlinks and increasing our rankings. Certainly an increase in subscriber count, visitor numbers or pagerank can be encouraging and a boost to the ego but I can get that from the static websites I build. The beauty of blogging for me is being able to enjoy the more personal benefits of a network of blogging friends. Without those people who have offered me their help, support, encouragement and kindness I am sure I would not be blogging today. I am going to show my appreciation by updating my blogroll which is very much out of date.
We can all show our gratitude on an ongoing basis by making an effort to visit our friend’s blogs regularly and leaving comments and help them out where we can - which can range from praise for a good post, giving them some link love in our own blogs and helping them promote their sites with Stumbles, Diggs or whatever is their favorite favoriting site.
Thanks Darren, it is good to be reminded to take care of the important things in life, with busy schedules it is too easy to neglect showing appreciation for the people in our lives.
