   Ya kind of lost me…some of us are just simple hillbillys! So what you actually DID was post that little add this blog to my favorites…thats it?

   You’re very welcome Wendy.

   Sorry Paul, I can see how I might not have explained it properly. Yep, all I did was add that icon in the upper right section of my blog’s homepage, making it easier for other bloggers to increase my page rank. Nothing more to it than that.

   Cheers David, that’s a lot of links you’ve got there!

   Thank you for mentioning my site David. I’m a big fan of your blog- it is definitely one of my favorites.

   David. Sweet. I still haven’t used Technorati’s favorites like I could. Some time soon. As it’s written, miles to go before I rest…

   Hi David!

   Thanks so much for the mention! It was really kind of you.

   To my knowledge, you’re the first one among my favorites to link back to the blogger who favorited them.

   Your site is very informative and helpful. I’m glad the icon helped you.

   Thank you all for your kind comments. It makes the time I spend updating my blog worthwhile.

    David - BEAUTIFUL headline. Absolutely beautiful.

    And you just got one more Technorati favorite.

    On Instigator Blog I’ve only got the icon in the far right sidebar - maybe I should swing it in closer…

11. David Airey, on March 16th, 2007 said:
    Why thank you Ben. :)

    This is one of the first posts I’ve created that I’ve thought to myself I can be truly specific.

    Needless to say you’ve been a Technorati favourite of mine for some time now.

    Regarding your Technorati icon, maybe it’s just me but I prefer the one I use over your slightly smaller version. I think it’s because mine mentions Technorati and shows their logo. It would be interesting to know which one is more effective at the end of the day.

12. Ben Yoskovitz, on March 16th, 2007 said:

    David - interesting suggestion re: the icon. I’m going to make the switch - let’s see what happens. (if the bigger one will fit in that sidebar.)

    I’m also wondering if I should put the smaller one after each post if that would encourage people…

13. Paul, on March 16th, 2007 said:

    Does your site automatically sign us up to receive emails for future posts?

14. David Airey, on March 16th, 2007 said:
    I hope it works more effectively for you Ben.

    Paul, your email is only used to let you know about follow-up comments after one you make. There’s a check-box beneath each comment box asking if you want to be notified of comments after the one you make.

    I just activated that plugin recently. Perhaps I should have the check-box unchecked by default? Does it bother you receiving an email when someone makes a comment on the same article you did?

    No-one else has mentioned it, and you can easily ‘manage your subscriptions’ through this email (or above if you’re on my website now).

    What you think matters though. Cheers.

15. Ben Yoskovitz, on March 16th, 2007 said:

    The bigger Technorati button didn’t fit in the narrow sidebar. So I’ll have to go back to the drawing board for now while I work on more pressing things.

    I do like the button you’re using more though.

16. Ian, on March 18th, 2007 said:

    Thanks for the mention David. No offense taken. If you had to say which aspect needed most attention, what would it be?

    I like your site even better after the re-design. It is very clear. Maybe I need to take your comment about using images and photographs to heart.

    Thanks, Ian.

17. David Airey, on March 18th, 2007 said:
    Ben, I know it’s not easy setting aside time to develop your own blog. It takes time enough reading others then creating your own posts. All this on top of the day job. I’m sure you’ll be letting us know of any updates however. You reminded me to write an article about my recent re-design, so that those reading through RSS readers and email subscriptions would visit.

    Thanks for your comments Ian. :)

    If there was just one aspect that could be changed on your site it would be to give it a wider, less-deep header image. One that fills the space rather than one that looks like an after-thought.

    After that, I’d move the category section to beneath the image of your name in the upper left side. That would immediately tell people what it is you blog about (if it’s not indicated in the header image).

    It’d be a pleasure to help out in any way should you have some questions.

18. Ian, on March 18th, 2007 said:

    Thanks for the feedback David. I can see what you mean with the header image now I look at it. I’ll have a think about a replacement image.

    I have added you.

    I took your advise here and added the button to my blog - ended up with a bit more than 100% increase (3 members now to 7 members :) )

    cheers.
