Blogger Appreciation Day
Famous Australian professional blogger Darren Rowse has unofficially declared this day, April 14, as Blogger Appreciation Day. He writes about how he received several thank you emails today, which led him to realize how such a simple gesture can lift a blogger’s spirit. Darren encourages us to do the same and show our appreciation to our fellow bloggers.
I’ve been chatting with a few bloggers of late who’ve been feeling a little down in the dumps about their blogging – so perhaps everyone could do with a little lift.
Lets spend today doing a few random acts of kindness and encouragement for our fellow bloggers.
Here’s a toast to all the Pinoy bloggers! Mabuhay tayong lahat!
