International S.O.B Week ( May 14 through May 18 )

That’s right.  The first annual Support Our Bloggers Week is right around the corner.  Participation is easy, just make a list of the blogs you like and send each blogger one quick piece of feedback.  Keep it simple.  Something like “I like your blog” or “Keep blogging” will work fine.

 It you want extra credit, add “… .. _ _..”  to the end of your post.  It’s Morse code for SOB.   

All bloggers yearn for blog comments.   There’s a desire, when you feel you’ve posted something special, to know people are really reading it.  I even know bloggers that don’t allow comments because they fear blogger rejection.  Blogger rejection is the pain of knowing someone could comment, but didn’t.   

The upside of participating in S.O.B. week is that is gets you registered on the blogs you read. You’ll be ready to jump into the conversation the next time you have something real to add.
