Know what's better than having someone "make your day"? Why, making someone else's day, of course. And I have a way for you to do just that.
You know how great it feels to see your name mentioned (favorably, of course) on someone else's site? Well, everyone else feels the same way too. That's why we play a little game around here called
(Trumpets, please)
Blog It Forward Day! Yayyyy!!
Boy, it's been a long time since we did this. Does anyone remember it? It's really quite simple. See all of those fine folks over there on your blogroll (or RSS feed, or however you have chosen to link them)? Well, they're on there for a reason, right? Your job is to pick one (ok, two if you must.....ok fine, three. You guys are tough!) and tell us why they deserve that little piece of valuable real estate on your web page. What makes them link-worthy?
Maybe they are really quick witted and they make you giggle. Or perhaps they have stories of their children that remind you of your own. Heck, you may even like them for being all up-in-your-face and controversial.
Well, here's your chance to spotlight them and let us know that they exist. Just write up a little blurb about them and send them a little of your traffic. Trust me, you will be taking great strides toward "making their day". And who knows, maybe they'll run with it and write about some of their links. And then they'll tell two friends and then they'll tell two friends and so on and so on...ok, maybe I'm getting a little ahead of myself.
So whaddya say? You up for it? Only takes a couple of minutes to make someone else feel good. Surely that is a worthy endeavor, eh?
Oh, and if you can, track back to this post so that we can all follow the bouncing ball and visit the sites that you pick. I'll pick my victims later on this afternoon.
Now go. Blog it forward. Share the love.

Here I am, new to to community and all...). And I did reference you and Santy Claus in one of my posts. I will read this post carefully, AFTER writing the check to the gooberment, tomorrow being the big day and all and then I will figure out how to blog a couple folks I like forward. Launch them out there, as it were...thanks, Buzz
