Contest Winners, And Free Publicity

Here are the winners of the “How To Be Miserable” Contest, sponsored by life coach Tim Brownson:

1st place: Hayden Tompkins at Persistent Illusion wins an hour of life coaching from Tim, for her post How To Be Miserable.

2nd place: Amanda at Becoming A Fiction Writer wins a signed copy of Tim’s book “Don’t Ask Stupid Questions – There Are No Stupid Questions,” for her post How to be miserable: Try to become a fiction writer!

Need a traffic boost? Michael Martine is offering a chance for people to get more blog subscribers and Twitter followers. Everyone leaves a link, and then checks out the other participants. I’m not sure what impact it’s had on my traffic, but I got about 25 new Twitter followers yesterday.

Have a personal development blog? Glen Allsopp at PluginID has created a personal development blog list, where an automated script ranks blogs based on Technorati and Alexa rankings, with Google PageRank serving as a tiebreaker. If you have a personal development blog, you can ask Glen to add it to the list. I’m currently #32.

Someone informed me that my “Email this article to a friend” links were broken. Apparently this broke when I upgraded WordPress, and I just needed to regenerate the permalinks. Thanks for the heads up, and it’s working now.

    @ Hayden, you’re welcome, and congratulations!

    @ Glen, OK, I’ll be on the lookout!

    @ Marelisa, I saw you’ve been added to Glen’s list. I really like how it’s objective and automated. It will be interesting to see where new blogs come in, and how they move up and down.
