Blogtipping Three of the Best

Link Love for Three Who Make Us Better

blogtipping icon 1

Today I’m celebrating official Blogtipping Day. How about you? As the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.

  • Choose three bloggers you admire and link to them.
  • List three reasons why you admire each one.
  • Then add a tip at the end.

That’s all there is to it.

Cat Morley

  • Designers who Blog is a testament to Cat who celebrates the great work of others.
  • Every time Cat visits here, she leaves wisdom and insights. She often leaves links to wonderful tools.
  • When a friend is in need, Cat is there with a hand, even if that friend is a friend of a friend. Cat is an amazing person.

Tip: Watch out for evil computers who want to thwart you.

Katiebird

  • Katie’s blog is like Katie welcoming, open, and other centered.
  • Talk to her once and you’ll know she’s the real deal — more than she ever shows in a glance.
  • When folks are at her blog or she is at theirs everyone seems to get taller, reading what she says.

Tip: Katie know your value. You make us worth more.

Rick Cockrum

  • Everytiime I read Rick’s blog I learn something I didn’t know about people and about myself.
  • He might have called his blog Shards of Consciousness, but his own awareness is vast, and his heart matches the size of the universe.
  • I feel lucky to know Rick and to read what he writes.

Tip: Rick, I can never get enough of you or your words.

Thanks to all three of you for making me more aware of how human the blogosphere can be.
