Blogtipping Day

Thursday, June 01, 2006

The first of every month is Blogtipping Day. Here are my three victims:

Easton Ellsworth
1 - I love the Blogtipping idea!
2 - Your blog is genuinely enjoyable to read.
3 - You and Liz Strauss are really the same person, aren't you? I've never seen the two of you in the same room together.
Tip - I'm not a huge fan of your color scheme. The blue header and footer seem a bit bold in contrast with the rest of the colors you've selected. That's more of a personal preference thing, and I'm sure as many people will disagree with me as agree.

Liz Strauss
1 - Creating the Link Leak Virus.
2 - The SOB thing is a great idea. Thanks for honoring me with it.
3 - You and Easton Ellsworth are really the same person, aren't you? I've never seen the two of you in the same room together.
Tip - I just realized that you have no advertisements above the fold on your blog. That's not necessarily a bad thing though.

Jason Scott
1 - I really admire your work.
2 - I like your blog's design. I'm a huge fan of black backgrounds, so I'm a bit biases there, but it's a nice, simple, layout.
3 - In the few times I corresponded with you, you've seemed like a genuinely nice guy.
Tip - Even though I haven't seen you in the same room with either of them, I don't think you're the same person as Easton Ellsworth or Liz Strauss.

Thanks, Rod.
You're such a great addition to Successful Blog. You've fit in with all of us in such a fun and insightful way. I love how your ideas have become an easy mix with everything.

Sssshhh. I didn't really create the Link Leak virus. I just shouted about it. Mike Sigers created it. It's his baby all around.

Thanks :) The more I explore blogging, the more I'm reminded of the old-school BBS scene. I gotta work on getting my wife more involved, though. I think she'll enjoy it too :)

I didn't realize that you didn't create the Link Leak virus, even though I probably should have by now. Thanks for setting my straight on the origins :)

Don't tell Easton about the other thing. He really thinks he's a separate person. :)

But I've never seen the two of you in the same room together. Even if I did, I'd be convinced it was done with mirrors somehow. So he can't convince me otherwise :)

Thanks for the kind words.

I'm actually not an entirely nice guy; like anyone who obsessively collects things and spends a lot of time tracking down facts, and who hates lazy thinking, I can be a real bastard. This is a combination of distaste with people who revel in their ignorance and the sad situation that I just never let stuff go.

However, you're right, I have a nice white on black design. That people hate.

Rod, thanks for the blogtipping - especially for being the first soul to dare blogtip the original "blogtipper!" I'll certainly take a close look at your tip.

See you 'round,

Liz - I mean Easton :)

Jason, I really do like the clean design. And everyone can be a real bastard at times if you hit the right buttons with them...

Easton, Someone had to do it ;) As for the tip, I do most of my reading via RSS these days, but lately I've been going to your site to check out any comments. The more I go to your site, the less I notice the colors.
