Today started out like most other Fridays. I woke up, I went to work, I picked up after a bunch of kids, I came home… And then I saw my screen name listed alongside Darren Rowse, Chris Guillebeau, Chris Pearson, Pete Cashmore, and Brian Clark as someone who provides “great blogging advice.”
At first, I was flattered — who wouldn’t be? But the more I think about it, the less I feel I deserve or should be listed alongside those guys. Not only have they provided awesome blogging advice for others, but they have applied their wisdom to their own sites and have created blogs which have rocked the socks off of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, worldwide.
And here we are at KingdomGeek, an unfocused blog rife with inconsistent writing styles, an amateur customization of an otherwise top-notch theme (compare what I’ve done with Brian Clark’s theme on the site linked to above; his site and mine are both rocking Thesis), and a very modest traffic level.
Do I give great blogging advice on Twitter? If so, I’m not proving it via my own blog. If on the off chance I am, though, I am very glad to be able to help others improve their blogs, and I imagine they quite quickly surpass mine in terms of reach and authority. At least, I hope that they do!
In any event, thank you Clara for listing me alongside the greats. I can’t tell you how I appreciate it.
