Blog Of The Day – Day 15
August 14th, 2009
First up, an apology to BOTD fans: I was under the impression that Alex Jeffreys’ traffic competition ended yesterday, Thursday 13th, and I have been alluding to that in all of my posts this week. But no, it ends today ! This is, of course, a Good Thing because it gives me the chance to recognise one more blog.
The Bad News is that I am still between a rock and a hard place because there are several contenders for that last place ! So, if you didn’t make it, I’m sorry … I had to pick one and just one today. Let me tell you about it, because I think that it has an important message for us all.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have tried to look at as many blogs as I can, as often as I could manage. Today’s winner followed the same path as quite a few others: an initial struggle to overcome technical problems followed by a change in look and feel, then steady improvement.
But looking at it today, I found a post which touched and inspired me. I won’t say more because you will have your own reaction to it when you read it.
I should also say that after starting to write this post, I wondered if some people might consider my drawing attention to it like this to be “bad form”, that what it describes is too personal to be trivialised by associating it with my little contest.
If you feel like that, I’m sorry, I don’t. I assume that the story was posted so that readers can learn from it. If that’s so, then I want to draw even more people’s attention to it. Please read it. I’d ask you to consider how it affects you and (more importantly perhaps), what you will do differently because of that … not just in terms of our coaching and your business, but also in terms of your life.
So the final Blog Of The Day Award goes to Huddson Lee for www.EnjoyMarketingOnline.com. (An appropriate domain name too.)
Congratulations Huddson – your Blog Of The Day badge may be little consolation in the circumstances, but thanks for sharing your story with us.
PS: As promised, I will announce the overall winner of the title Blog Of Blogs after Alex’s traffic competition ends. But I have a busy day tomorrow, so it will probably be Sunday. Watch this space.

Thank you Roger,
It’s an honour to have received such an award. You’ve given me more motivation to further improve my blog after the loss of my little dog.
Thank you, Huddson
Huddsson, it was a real pleasure – I am sure that your blog will go from strength to strength.
Roger
Hey Roger,
Thanks for commenting on my blog. Finally getting around to posting on everyone’s blog. Just want to say Hello and wishing you great success with the course. I really liked your Blog of the Day Award–nice idea. Wish I’d got one!
Thanks Gigi. Blog Of The Day is taking a rest at the moment, but it will be back in some form soon … though it’s more likely to be weekly or maybe monthly. So who knows ? You may still have a chance !
Thanks for stopping by !
Roger
