Take the Blogging Survey
Chris Garrett has a massive blogging survey going, and I’m looking forward to the results. Do stop by and fill out the questions for a chance to win a ProBlogger book.
It’ll be interesting to learn other bloggers’ habits and if you’re all as reassessed as I!

Tiny Link Love
Tiny, as in two links. I was waiting to post more than two links, but one, I haven’t had time to surf my fave blogging blogs lately, and two, I keep thinking that these shine bright enough for one post. Also, it’s silly to keep hording them in my bookmarks.
This first link is from Biz Chicks Rule.
Memo to All PR People & Publicists: Stop Being So Dumb and Do Your Flipping Job - the title alone says it all. However, Kristen goes on to really outline the issues. If you’re a blogger, and you work with PR folks, you’ll love this post. It’ll make you laugh and feel happy that you’re not alone.
This next post is at Business & Blogging. No joke, I was actually about three seconds away from writing a post about Personal Info on Your Blog - How Much is Too Much? here at NBT, when I noticed that Liz already did, and did it very nicely, thus saving me the trouble. Actually, I might have more to say on this topic, but for now, you can read Liz’s thoughts.

Why I’m so Liberal with the Link Love
If you’re a regular visitor to my blogs, you know I like to end my weekly blogging with a link love post featuring news, tips and ideas from my favorite bloggers. I do this for several reasons:
- To turn my community on to something I feel will be of interest
- To show another side to a story
- To highlight another great blogger
- To learn something new
- To share something fun
- To start a discussion
- Others might discover my blogs through my linking to them
I was once asked why I like to send my visitors to my competition. I responded that I don’t see other bloggers as competitors. I see them as friends and colleagues and we all share ideas together.
We all appreciate when other bloggers link to us, won’t you do the same?
