How to encourage a blogger

Tim Challies has a great entry about how to encourage a blogger. Here are his points;

  • Leave a Comment.
  • Send a Note of Encouragement.
  • Pray for Them.
  • Tell Someone Else About the Site.
  • Shop at Amazon Through an Affiliate Link.
  • Look for Amazon Wishlists.

I think commenting is one of the highest forms of encouragement. Of course, I’ll always take a book or a java too.

But I love those 6 dearly!!!!

comments are probably the thing i look forward to the most so far as blogging is concerned. i even have a few people that email rather than post their comments on the blog itself. maybe they feel the shame and humiliation of being publicly associated with me and my writings isnt worth coming out of the woodwork for 🙂 i also have my blog linked to my facebook page, and get some comments there that dont show up on the blog itself. also, i have stat counter, a pretty nifty little traffic tracker that tells me all about my lurkers,… Read more »
