    Rico,
    It’s not only that I liked it. It’s that I find it to be an effective example of blogging that others might emulate in their own version to get similar positive results.

    I see you’re already getting interaction from readers asking for you to do their names too. :)

    Hi Dan,
    I’ve read that, too — That was a recent conversation at Chartreuse’s blog for one. I still think people win the argument in the end.

    People get to pick what’s content and what’s a resource after all. :)

    Hi Liz.

    Although I’ve been visiting your blog since last week, it’s the first time I’m posting here. I mean, it’s nice to be here :-).

    content is dead and resource is king?

    I recently read this line but cannot recall where I read it. Well, that “resource” too is some content so in that sense content is never dead: it just gets recycled or disseminated.

    Hi Amrit!
    Thanks for deciding to comment. Welcome.
    Between you and me, I think the content/resource thing is half true an half semantics.

    Brian Clark means content in a form you can use when says resource. I’m not sure other folks make that distinction. I think people can also be a resource.

    Liz, nice to meet you also.

    I love your blog, so many of the things you’re doing here are brilliant examples of community building and are exactly the way I’d love my clients to blog.

    Thank you, Dan. That is the coolest compliment.
    As Char would say, “Really.”

    Welcome.

    Take a look up in the sidebar under pages for My Bloggging Goal. It reveals the whole secret behind what I do here. Well, sort of. :)

    You know you’re only a stranger here once. You’re a friend now.

    I love people who have imagination and think up new ways to do things.
