Blog Minx

A big thanks and a slo-mo high-five to Darren at ProBlogger, who kindly added my post 7.5 Reasons I Abandoned You Today to one of his recent 31 Days To Building a Better Blog link lists (check’s in the mail, Darren) and sent lots of nice clicks and visitors my way.

Kevin at Blogging Tips talks about writing for search engines vs. writing for people.

But most of the traffic and comments (and some spin-off writing work) come from fellow bloggers. It’s about balance, I guess, and not looking down.

Bryan@OneMansGoal shares 10 traits of successful bloggers. I need to work on 1-10.

Roberta Ferguson has made it into the Top 5K on Technorati.  Well done, Roberta! Guess what – I am at 5,003. I just need 1-2 more linkbacks to be in the Top 5K myself. Who will give me a pity link? I will send you an ice cream.
