Blogtipping — December ’06

I am joining with my fellow bloggers in celebrating some new blogs that I discovered this past month.  As is the blogtipping tradition, (created by Easton Ellsworth) I’ll offer a few reasons why I like the blog and one suggestion for improvement.

The Ripple Effect: Maximum Ripple is Steve Harper’s reminder to us all that our lives are intertwined and we can create the professional and personal lives we hunger for.

Things I love:

• Your questions and musings make me slow down and think.  Thank you.

• I respect and appreciate how much of yourself you share in your posts.

• I think your weekly "features" are a great idea.

Suggestion: 

• Add some visuals to break up your copy.

Do You Q? is Mitch Matthews addictive blog of thought-provoking questions.

Things I love:

• The randomness of the questions — sometimes silly, sometimes profound.

• Reading your readers’ comments is almost as much fun as answering your questions.

• Your visuals are right on the money for your questions.

Suggestion:

• Post more often and find a way to link your readers to game sales (a contest maybe or helping a charity?)

Slow Leadership is an inspiring, resource rich study on leadership.

Things I love:

• Incredible content.  Very current and thought provoking.

• The quick summary feature.  At a glance, I can tell if the post is something I want to read.

• There’s lots of meat in every post.  I am not left wanting for more.

Suggestion:

• Include a bio and tell us a little about who you are and what you’re all about.  (If there is such info available on the site, I couldn’t find it.  If it’s there — make it easier to find!)

There you have it discerning readers…until next month’s blogtipping adventure!
