Link Love for Three Who Make Us Better

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.

Three Optimists

Everyone has those people they know that are always up and making others feel positive about what’s going on. I know at least three that I count as special that I want to tip my blog to.

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.

1. Starbucker I tip my blog to you because

You blog like you live — with verve and spirit, dancing through the ideas and over the keys. It makes visiting your blog a pleasure.

You posts are about real things and real ideas, but you don’t take yourself or them too seriously. There’s always that touch that says you know there are so many things that aren’t worth worrying too hard about.

You haven’t forgotten what fun is. You know how to play and how to be a friend.

My blog tip: Be careful driving in those mountains. Don’t be thinking of blog posts going around those hairpin turns.

2. Mike Sansone I tip my blog to you because

Your blogging style is all about relationships. I always find myself staying longer and reading more than just a single post.

You’re such a warm, authentic presence. I feel better just listening to your point of view on business.

When you study an idea or subject, you never lose track of the human side of it. I feel proud to know you.

My blog tip: You seem to have so much going on. I can’t keep track of it all.

3. Tom Vander WellI tip my blog to you because

You’re always celebrating someone else’s success.

You’re constantly curious about how you might make the world a better place.

It’s obvious that you listen actively to what your readers say. It shows in your comments.

My blog tip: Don’t forget to give one of those gold mugs to yourself.

Thanks to all three of you for making my blogging life a nicer place to be.

Three Really Great People

Each of these folks brings a special humanity to the blogosphere you can see that in the energy and insight of every word that they write. So today being Blogtipping Day, August 1, I tip my blog to them.

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.

1. Ann at Manage to Change. I tip my blog to you because

You blog about ideas that people need to think about, yet you do it with heart and humanity that gives them depth and appeal.

You care about the community and leave your blog to seek it out. Then you share the ideas with your readers in wonderful ways.

You are one of the most supportive commenters I’ve read in the blogosphere. You’re specific and insightful, and you say what you mean.

My blog tip: Consider writing a post on Liz’s Blog :).

2. Tammy at Marketing Basics

You have great way of incorporating what you read into dynamite blog posts.

Your writing voice is warm, delightful, and filled with energy.

Your comments always call me to action. They deserve a thoughtful response because you have taken the time to think about what you read and to thoughtfully comment.

My blog tip: Your comments are the best promotion for your blog. Use them often and liberally at new blogs every week.

3. Robert at Accidental Taorist

Your twist on things is unique and special. Your thoughts and your humor are your brand.

You write better than you give yourself credit for or than you believe. Push the envelope a little and have fun with it.

You understand how to make a reader feel that there’s a real person behind the screen. I often feel like you live inside my computer.

My blog tip: I love your template, but I’d love it better if it worked in IE. 🙂
