I learnt on Des Walsh’s blog today that Darren Rowse has unofficially called April 14th (today) Blogger Appreciation Day.

The idea is to encourage everyone to say ‘thank you’ or to encourage bloggers for the effort they put into what they do. Darren was saying he’d received 3 unsolicited emails thanking him and he’d realised just how much some bloggers just don’t get shown appreciation so he thought declaring today Blogger Appreciation Day might be good to make people to think beyond just reading a post, but actually letting the bloggers know how much they appreciated it. This can be done via comments, emails or even posting on your own blog and linking back.

Des took it further by mentioning three people who have inspired his blog walk and I want to do the same.

First of all is my client, Lorraine Pirihi of The Office Organiser. I’ve mentioned her briefly in previous posts but not in detail, of how she was responsible for me travelling this journey. So thank you, Lorraine.

Second is Des Walsh, who via one of his blogs, actually made me sit up and take notice of what LinkedIn is all about.  Consequently I’ve become a very active networker via that medium - it was definitely worth taking another look.

The third is Alister Cameron who has been very helpful with advice via email and also via his blog.  Making contact with him was worth it.

Now, do you have bloggers you would like to show appreciation to?
