A link is always nice. It’s been said that links are the currency of bloggin, that they are the nicest way to say thanks and that they are what make blogging so unique. Ensight gets a fair amount of links, many of which I see. And most of these are simply mentions of things I’ve written or done, compliments or just a link to my site when someone mentions my name.
I only realized today that it’s been awhile since anyone’s link made me feel humbled and honored. A recent review of, well, me, by The Language Artist did just that though.
It wasn’t anything incredible. Just a short piece on b5, the book, but somehow it felt like the author (La Shawn, I believe) had actually looked at me through my blog. Which was nice.
I guess this is what happens when a real artist turns their attention to you. You get humbled.
Thanks TLA, and thanks again to every reader who visits every day. This piece reminded me of how humbling it is to have so many people read what I write.
Thank you.

Yep, it’s was posted by me (La Shawn). I just thought I’d put in a word of appreciation from one blog consultant to another. You were actually one of the reasons I decided to go into blog consulting. I’ve had a political blog for almost two years and received a lot of recognition for it, but I’m back to baby steps with my business blog. Thanks for the inspiration.

That was the lamest attempt at bragging/self-promotioin without looking like your bragging/self-promotion ever
Like your blog though

Jeremy, what you are in the tech/biz blog end of the blogosphere, LaShawn is in the socio-political end of it. She’s a big cheese to be sure. I’m glad she’s crossed over into our neck of the woods with her new consulting business.
I met her at BlogNashville where I went to check out the media bloggers tribe. She was a presenter, and a very nice person to boot!
