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.

David -I don't know if in your blog travels you've checked in on "A Twist of Humor" (click into his sight from my blog if you have a chance) but his return to blogging post today is absolutely awesome. Just wanted to give you a head's up in case you've never seen his place before.
Keep doing the great posts you've been doing and passing on advice to us as you go too. Love it!
A boost in the rankings . . . Cheers.
The plan is to tooth and claw my way back into the top 10!
David,
I always start reading your Awards post from the honourable mentions to Wildcards (what? My name not there? Hope? Or dropped entirely? Heartbeat rising!). Then I look immediately at no. 47: Nobody's Friend? Congratulations, that's a great spot to be in! 46? Karoline! Congratulations here too! Been there last week, loved it. Truth is, my heart is sinking. Well, not entirely. I had fun, another week of winging it (me, a blogger? natch!) and, would you believe it, visitors who left incredibly generous comments. My little picture book, er, blog give me back much more than I could ever put in (who's in charge of time up there, I ask?). Sorry, I digress. Yes, heart still beating. A glance at number 45: Merisi! Now my heart stops. Wow. David. Amazing. Thank you (takes a sip of water).
I don't know, how you do it, but I sure know I am really grateful for your encouragement. I never ever expected something like that when I started out, me who didn't even know what blogging meant.
Dankeschön from Vienna,
Merisi
Wey-hey, I'm creeping back up there again - amazing! (I sometimes wonder if you've mixed me up with any other Carol Cooper's out there, it is a very common name when all is said and done, but I don't want to push my luck by exploring that one too deeply.) Saturday simply wouldn't be the same without Aussiejourno's Weekly Blog Awards to peek in to - I cannot even begin to imagine how much hard work you must put in to this. It is enormously appreceiated by all of us, David - hats off to you, my friend. Oh, and thank you (smile).
David - we should forget browsing and just make this our homepage as you have links to such a phenomenal list of informative and entertaining bloggers. There's truly something for everyone in 'David's Bag'.
Thank you once again for the endorsement, it means so much. x
Hi David - I think what you are doing is brillant!
I think its a really great thing you are doing by taking the time to notice bloggers. That's how people are noticed and at least once in your life it does feel great to be noticed..
And thanks again for stopping by more than once! Your history is intriguing for sure.
Hey David, I found you through the Photohunt...Now I have been checking out the rest of your blog, you have quite an intersting background. I have to ask, what exactly is blog mentoring? Just curious...
Oh my! Oh my!
Nose hugs!
THank cu!!
:@}
Thanks for your comments David. I've been sadly neglecting you lately, but you are not forgotten :-)
The course is going okay - just into my second week.
Just come across you from Photo Hunt, good to see you giving fellow bloggers a bit of a leg up, I do the same thing every now and then but not to the scale you do.
Nice photos by the way.
Cheers Mark
Thank you much for stopping by and commenting in my blog. As you can see, I do love balconies! And since my city boasts quite a collection of them, I'm loving showing them.
I look forward to seeing your balcony pictures from around the world.

I found you through Mrs. Nesbitt...I'm planning on joining her ABC Wednesday. I'm a free-lance photographer with a photoblog that's hardly taken off the ground. The blog linked here is the one getting most of my attention...I'd love for you to check it out, and I'd love to hear more about your mentoring.
Thanks!
I've dropped, but from some of posts of the days I've deserved it. Well done to everyone!
Hi Jeni,
Thank you for the heads-up. I always enjoy the chance to visit a good site.
Will check him out. And thank you for your support.

Hi Expat Traveller,
It is my very great pleasure to provide this service. I feel it is my duty to help other writers and photographers - and to draw attention to their work.
But thank you for your kind words. I really do appreciate your message.
Keep smiling

Hi Nap Warden,
Blog mentoring is not a formal thing I do - it's just a process by which bloggers can contact me for advice on writing, photography, graphic presentation and the editorial package that is blogging.
That just happens to be my background, so I am more than happy to act as a mentor to anyone who asks.
Do keep in touch
Keep smiling
David
Hi Bob,
Your nose hugs make my day. Always.

Hi Papoosue,
No, you're not neglecting me. You just paying attention to the family and the course - and that's the way it should be.
I'll always be here for you and my other friends.

Hi Mari-Nanci,

Hi Christine,
Thanks for getting in touch. Mrs Nesbit is a good friend, a great blogger and a whirling dervish of total energy.
I'll certainly check out your blog. I'm happy to mentor anyone, anywhere.
Do keep in touch.

Hi Steph,
There has been a lot of movement (uo and down) the past three weeks.
Last week one very good blogger dropped about 20 spots.

Hi Vic,

David, I still don't know how you do it - I cannot keep up with a dozen enjoyable blogs. Congrats on being a multi-tasker supreme and dropping by when you can. I always, always look forward to your comments.
That is really nice of you to do blog mentoring to help people get started and help people improve what they are working on :)
Good Stuff!

David....not to get personal, but, how many hours a day/week are you on the blogs?
Living in the beautiful down under, with summer coming up, you must know how to space your computer and outdoor times well.

Thanks David. :D
