My first Blogroll link

Woohooooo!  I just got my first link from another blog.  This is soooo exciting.

I'm very new to blogging, having started tentatively in January because I wanted to get into the habit of writing more and making it a bigger part of what I do.  After reading about Business Blog Angel Claire Raike's blogging telecass in Judith Morgan's newsletter I signed up straightaway and found my confidence growing steadily.

What really took me by surprise about blogging is how much I enjoy the medium.  Writing my own blog has opened me up to a whole new world and I'm now gleefully exploring all the wonderful blogs out there.  I could gladly spend my whole day reading blogs if I didn't have other work to do...

Anyway, the fab thing about finding a great blog, is often they provide links to other great blogs, and so the discovery continues.  One of the great blogs I discovered in the last week is Ramblings from a Glass Half Full, written by Starbucker.  And today I've discovered that while I slept Starbucker added me to his Great Links.  (check him out today - his latest post stresses the importance of finding happiness at work - a subject close to my own heart)

Thank you Starbucker!  This is such a great boost to a novice blogger.   

Happy Friday everybody!

You are quite welcome!

Welcome to the blogosphere, and keep up the postivity. Being happy is the ultimate in living - here's to happyness!

Don't know if you'd be able to make it, but we're having a relationship blogging conference in Chicago on May 11-12 (www.sobevent.com). I have certain connections that could get you $100 off the registration if you are interested.

It would be great to meet you!

All the best.

Oooh, that's so tempting! But can't make it this time I'm afraid. Hopefully another time though.

All the best,

H.

Congratulations! It is addictive isn't it...

So now I'm wondering what's your next blog goal?

Hi all - I am sitting here grinning from ear to ear. It makes me so happy to see blogging working on all its wonderful levels for you Hilda - and Joanna. Whilst in a strange way it feels a bit like maternal pride to see your blogging journeys unfolding, I also love that I learn so much from you - through looking at and reading your blogs and connecting with your communities etc. And Starbucker's now in my favourites too! Three cheers for the blogosphere, hip-hip..!

Thanks Claire! If you're planning on running an advanced course anytime soon, please let me know. I'd definitely be interested.

All the best,

Hilda
