In conclusion, I would just like to say I've been mentoring several bloggers for a while and it is important to know that the work of a blogger whose url has only 10 hits can be ranked alongside a blogger whose url has 10,000 hits or more. I would like other would-be writers and bloggers to benefit from the fact that I am a bestselling novelist (`Vegemite Vindaloo', published by Penguin) and career journalist with almost 30 years' experience in writing, editing, design, newspaper technology and production.

Oh wow, how wonderful!! Thank you so much, David. I am always amazed at how much time and effort you give to our blogs. We all know it's your blog that should be at no.1.

Yes, each week I'm even more surprised to be hanging in there was such great company!

Thanks man...one of these days the Foster's is on me!

Hi Mushy,

It gets harder and harder to judge each week because of the way everyone has moved up a gear.

But that's my objective.... and it's great to watch everyone's progress, too.

Keep smiling

David, I reckon I've made it! I think I've cracked the kernel of success - being named in your blog is good enough for me, anything else is just a bonus. :)

Thank you David for your encouraging words, your attentiveness, your kind and generous nature. What a pleasure it's been to read the blogs you've brought together. x

FHB said...

Really. As lame as my stuff usually is, I'm amazed that I'm hangin' on. Thanks a lot.

BRUNO said...

No words of wit or wisdom from me today, other than a thanks and a hello again, as I pass through here.

Your blog is addictive! Short, concise, to-the-point postings, and entertaining as hell!

Which explains why I refer to my blog as "blusterings", and not "thoughtful-insights"! I'm too full of horse-feathers to call it anything but "whistling smoke up your---inseams???

Lin said...

Thank you, David. Hopefully I have just returned some of your kindness, even if only in a relatively minuscule way.

Hi FHB,

Your stuff's lame, you say? I think not, sir. I really get a buzz out of it.

Keep smiling
