Great Bloggers, Great Friends and Great Support

January 2, 2008 · Posted in Blogging, Inspiration, Networking

On June 23, 2007 I published my first article on soupornuts.com. It was titled “Change your priorities - create a plan for living”. Since then, I have learned quite a bit about blogging. My Alexa ranking started at over 9 million and is currently a respectable 265,975. This is due to the help and inspiration of a vast group of bloggers. Thank you all.

Great Bloggers, Great Friends and Great Support

This rise in the popularity of soupornuts.com is due to the help of a great blogging community along with their continual motivation and support. As a result, I want to use this article to express my thanks by adding some great blogs to my blogroll.

Daylle Deanna Schwartz from Lessons from a Recovering Doormat – Daylle has been a source of inspiration for me. She writes excellent articles (she is a published author of several books), she has been on several TV shows and she is very approachable. Daylle tagged me to participate in a meme ( 7 things that you may not know about me ) and since then we have corresponded on a number of occasions. Most recently, she hosted a blog carnival and asked me to submit an article from my “other” blog, Shoulder Performance & Rehab. I submitted an article written by my business partner, Scott Kay, entitled “Shoulder Rehab (shoulder rehabilitation)”.

We are both celebrating our 6 month anniversaries at the same time!

The most surprising thing to me as I became a new blogger is how the personal growth authors support each other.

It is a real community.

Thank you for your support! And the link love!

What an impressive blogroll. I guess I have to get busy!

Hi Guys,

You are all very welcome, but it is not what I did that put you on the list, but your great writing and support of your fellow blogger. May you all have a happy and blessed New Year.
