Blogger Appreciation Day
Darren Rowse declared the day of April 14th the unofficial Blogger Appreciation Day. Although I’m a day late, I would like to take this opportunity and say thanks to a couple of the bloggers who inspired me over the last couple of years.
- Darren Rowse – Problogger – like I said in my first post, when I first found Darren’s blog, I spent hours reading his interesting articles. It was my first real contact with the blogging phenomenon.
- Yaro Starak – Entrepreneur’s Journey – Yaro’s dedication to help others succeed is well known. I really enjoy his articles and podacasts, as well as the BlogMasterMind course (I have to catch up on my reading though).
- Alex Cristache – Blogsessive – I met Alex after finding his blog in a CSS gallery. If you are looking for blogging tips (SEO, plugins, themes), then you should really visit his blog. Alex was kind enough to implement a couple of improvements to my recently released free WordPress theme.
For me, their blogs have a special meaning: the beginning, the initiation, the pursuit. Thank you, guys!
And since it’s Blogger Appreciation Day, here’s a wacky idea: I’m no SEO expert or anything, but we all know how important link titles and link captions are for SEO. So wouldn’t it be nice if every blogger had these things visible on their blog, for other bloggers to use them? Call it “blogging courtesy”.
Maybe someone can take this idea and transform it into a plugin, or even a website. Just like Matt Brett’s Feed Icons, create some kind of standard.
It’s just a thought!
