Seven Links

Published by Kirsten under Internet, My Blog

I’m a personal blogger (duh), but that doesn’t stop me from having lofty dreams of making a ton of money by giving the world a glimpse into the depraved depths of my mind. That being said, I do read a few pro blogs to try to take a few tips and apply them to my little blog.

Today, I saw that ProBlogger is having a 7 Link Challenge. It looks like a fun exercise, so I thought I’d participate. Here are my seven links:

Your first post: I decided to take my journal out of my bedside drawer. Putting It All Down was published on March 14, 2006.
A post you enjoyed writing the most: I wouldn’t necessarily say that I enjoyed the process of writing this post, but I enjoyed the results, and it’s representative of what I wanted my blog to be when I started - a place to let it all out. I was scared of what was to come when I was packing up my life to merge it with my then-boyfriend (now known as Mister).
A post which had a great discussion: Searching for Inspiration. I had a bad case of blogger’s block, and got some great ideas out of it.
A post on someone else’s blog that you wish you’d written: I can’t narrow it down to a single post, but I love the way Miss Britt is able to pour her heart and soul out on her blog. She says things with the depth that I feel but wish I was able to express.
Your most helpful post: That would probably have to be Disrespectful Credit Card in Common. I blogged about a fraudulent charge on my card, and I still get quite a few hits to that post via Google. I hope it’s helped people in determining whether or not their charges are fraudulent and getting them removed.
A post with a title that you are proud of: Jekyll and Hyde because it helps reinforce the point I was trying to make in that post.
A post that you wish more people had read: Cuts Like a Knife, because it’s something that has had a very strong influence on who I am today, and good or bad, I don’t think things like this should be ignored. Also, it’s my secret (or not-so-secret) hope that people who teased others mercilessly will read it and realize what jerks they were and take steps to remedy that by trying to be better people.
