Link Love Costs Nothing
Easton Ellsworth at Blogwire declared today official Blogtipping Day and I’m in. How about you? As
the song goes “Give a little bit . . .” Here’s how it works.
- Choose three or more 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.
Janice Myint
- Janice is the best at her job. She knows what she’s doing.
- Every email and message is filled with smiles and energy. I feel like a valued customer every time she talks to me.
- She takes on big complaints as personal quest, and tackles them like a warrior.
Tip: Janice, be careful. The whole blogosphere is going to be proposing marriage to you, and trying to steal you away.
Jeremy Wright
- Jeremy’s a great guy with a heart as big as the world.
- He works hard, doing thousands of things, but never loses his humanity.
- He makes things happen for other people and asks nothing in return.
Tip: Jeremy, don’t wear yourself out. We need you just as you are.
Brian Clark
- Brian teaches me more about writing every time I read his blog.
- He has been a friend to me beyond the call of duty.
- I feel lucky to have him in my address book.
Tip: Brian, stop, breathe and look at what you’ve built. It’s fabulous.
That was fun. I hope I get time to do more before the day is over.

Stop? Breathe? What’s that all about? 🙂
Thanks Liz. You are too sweet.
Yeah Brian…
Slow down, mate. Smell the roses, stop pushing yourself so much… 😉
Hey, Brian!
I’m the nice one! 🙂
Thanks Martin for backing me up on this one.
And here I thought I’d been slacking off.
Hey, Hey, Brain,
For you to slack off, you’d have to go into hibernation. 🙂
Liz, great job blogtipping! One tiny item – could you fix my last name above? Somehow “Ellston” is appearing on my screen :). At Business Blogwire.
Great feedback for these three fine bloggers, Liz!
No problem Easton, Sorry about that.
Sincerely,
Your dearest friend,
Gwendolyn
Thank you SOOOO much!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Thanks Gary, for pay attention to what is important.
Janice.
You are the sun and the moon and a brand unto yourself. You deserve every allocade that you get. I am the un official president of your fan club.
I really feel that we, as blogging colleagues, must support each other. It is what will make this medium the best it can be. Then we all win.
Hi Gary,
It’s something so special that I was reading the comments of a post last night to a close friend in an attempt to give her a glimpse at what it is like here on the inside of blogging. (She’s already well-convinced of it’s positive values.)
I wouldn’t know you without my blogs. That would something good in my life I would have missed.
Haha, thanks you. You rock. May is “find a center” month for me. Of course, that’s amidst 4 conferences, 5 VC presentations and 60 hours of travel… But, yeah, I’m hoping to actually get some alone time 😉
LIz –
I has truly been my pleasure to “get to know you” through blogging. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a person comes through in their writing, no matter what the topic.
Jeremy,
No worries. You are what the VCs look for. Tell them to ask me. I’ve been there. I wish you all of the alone time you wish for.
Liz
Gary,
Every word you say goes both ways truly.
I think this Blogtipping concept is great. I plan to do it on a regular basis. Great article and great follow up article too.
Jenniahart,
That is it exactly. Darn you’re good.
