Talking all things motivational, entrepreneurial, blogging & travel. Pretty much anything other than "How to Make Money Online"! (Because when I blogged MMO I felt like a clone of the other 12 million people doing it)

Week 24 Round-Up & Comment Awards

28 June, 2008 - Misc - 4 Comments

Saturday is here once again and that means it’s time for a recap of the week on this blog.

Notable Points of the Week

New Blog Design - What? Another? This blog has gone through quite the transition in recent times. I got rid of the notion of wanting to make money from blogging, and my blog design had to reflect this. I’m pleased to say the entire design work is from my own hands, as opposed to using a template. So far, the response has been very positive. If you haven’t seen it yet, please click through from your RSS reader and take a look. If you have a few minutes spare, please post your feedback in the comments.

1 Year Young - It’s official. Earlier this month this blog, in its current form, had its 1st birthday. Over the last 12 months, 118 posts have been published. 73,363 words have been written in those posts. And 451 comments have been published by you, the readers. That’s 23,156 words. Thank you so much for making it an excellent and exciting first 12 months!

Comments of the Week - Each week, I try to repay my best commentators by sharing their comments and linking to their blogs. This week I’ve chosen one comment that I think qualifies as the best.

This comment comes from regular reader, Susan of Mix Musique. Susan summed up what John the homeless guy can teach us…

“Nice post…It’s really motivating and full of meaning. Many peoples live in better condition than John but they are not grateful to what they have, including me…Thanks for sharing it with me. Reminding me to keep happy and grateful no matter how hard the life is.”

Thanks for the comment, Sue.

If you want to see your name and link in this spot next week, be sure to come out of the woodwork and give your opinion on the posts I write.

Welcome to my New Commentators - Each week I intend to thank the people who have wrote a comment on my blog for the first time. Here is this weeks list:

Sunil
Brook Durant
Amy

I’d like to thank all my commentators, new and old, past and present. It wouldn’t be the same without you.

That’s all for this week. Tomorrow there will be link love post, handing out the best of the love to the best of the weeks articles. If you wrote an article on your blog this week that you think my readers will be interested in, please post a comment here with the link and I’ll consider including it in Sunday’s post.

Very quietly introduced theme change (for both design and content) there. Happy birthday for the blog, congrats!

Thanks for the mention. I must say I really like your theme. Great job on it! I don’t know if you do already but you should consider offering custom themes. It’s really well done.

And congrats on the 1yr mark!

Not a problem, Brook.

Thanks for the kind words. I have considered creating some free WordPress templates in the past. Maybe I’ll create a few to see how well they are taken.
