Please Meet These SOBs

Let me introduce some people I met this week.

Ingrid at Midnight Island

Thank you, Ingrid, for the work you’re doing. I know there are still some tweaks. But it’s so exciting to see Successful-Blog FINALLY LOOKING SUCCESSFUL!

Aaron at Technosailor

Jonic at 100yen

Thank you, Aaron and Jonic, for jumping in–without notice–to help with technical difficulties.

A week ago I didn’t know these bloggers. Now they are a part of Successful-Blog. That’s the way Successful and Outstanding Bloggers do things. Their commitment to quality reflects in all they do. Stop by their blogs and leave a comment–just click the logos. Like the bloggers who write them, the blogs are unique and worth getting to know.

Good conversation shared can only improve the blogging community.

The SOB Directory Update 02-07-06

February 7, 2006 by Liz

Have you visited the SOB Directory lately? It’s got its own page–right there in the sidebar. Check it out! It’s constantly changing, updating, adding the links of the latest Successful and Outstanding Bloggers. You can browse there to find the bloggers who take the conversation at Successful-Blog back to their readers,
contribute great ideas, challenge us, and make us better. It’s a great place to discover a favorite blog to read–a blog writer you have something in common with.

Want to become an SOB?

If you’re an SO-Wanna-B, you can see the whole list of SOBs and learn how to be one by visiting the SOB Directory. Click the link or visit from the sidebar.
Everything you need to know is on that page. Everyweek we add new SOBs to the list, no reason you can’t be one–you’re outstanding aren’t you?

Send Bios for the SOB Directory

If you already are an SOB, the Directory is my thank you to the Successful-Blog Community. It’s a way that we can keep connected, an annotated blogroll with logos, so to speak.

Why not send me 1-2 sentences about your blog? You must have a short description from some directory listing on your computer. Dust it off and send it along. Think of it as free advertising to a substantial readership.

By the way, if you’d have a better version of your logo feel free to send that too. Only one restriction–60 pixels high and not more than 200 pixels wide. That’s what fits.

In case you don’t know where to send them . . .e-mail them to me at lizsun2@gmail.com.

We’re making Success a habit.
