Blogger Appreciation Day

By Sue Bride (Sueblimely) | Published: April 14, 2008

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.

In this case the list is going to be passed on to friends and friends of friends and there is no requirement to include a huge master list as there is in some link chains. ~~Begin Copy~~ [...] Continue Reading…
