In focus, lifehacked, and rollin’ rollin’ rollin’…

In light of all this freelancerness, I wanted to draw your attention over to the Graphic Design Blog where I am the latest specimen under examination as part of a weekly segment called ‘Freelancer Focus’.

Congratulations on the big 1.5!

I hit the 1 Grand Mark at my own blog this month.

Birthdays the end in “0″ or “5″ tend to get celebrated a bit more heavily — is the same true of RSS subscribers?

Best wishes, and many happy return subscribers!

Thanks Chase,

To show related articles on each post, I use the ’similar posts’ Plugin for WordPress. It’s like the ‘related posts’ Plugin, only more straightforward to implement.

The social tags (Digg, Stumble, del.icio.us) are FeedBurner feed flares. Do you use FeedBurner for your RSS feed? I recommend it, and the flares are quite easy to set up too.

Shantanu,

Congratulations on passing your 100th blog post! Have you set any goals for the next year?

Ken,

1,000 comments? Great job! I think that comments, and reader interaction are the lifeblood of blogs, and what blogging is all about. May you attract many more.

Thomas,

I totally missed the whole number one Technorati glitch. I wonder just how many people updated their ReviewMe stats during that time.

David - I have reversed those scores before, but typically I catch myself before I post. I don’t know why my mind seems to have issues with those score titles. Thanks for the faith that I might actually reach a rank of 160. During the Technorai glitch, I did reach a rank of 1, but so did everyone else that had a rank of over 3 or 4.

Hi, David! Congratulation! :)

I’ve just broke my 1000 Comments! Celebrating it may be is a good idea. That’s great to have that sum of subscribers. Hope to see you celebrating it again when you reach 2000 subscribers!

Best Wish!
