To reach my goal of becoming the first ever Six-Figure Left Thumb ProBlogger, I am realizing that will entail more than pumping out quality content on a consistent basis. It will entail significantly increasing blog traffic (plus countless other tasks). In the past couple of weeks, Do It Myself Blog has received two unexpected nods of approval that will hopefully translate into more traffic.

The first nod comes from Guy Kawasaki’s Alltop – an “online magazine rack” that aggregates the five most recent stories of the top 100 or so feeds of websites and blogs. My blog is now listed in the Disability Category – a great resource for the latest disability-related news, insights and opinions in the blogosphere. Thanks Guy for adding Do It Myself Blog to Alltop and for confirming my blog kicks ass!

The second nod came this morning in an email from Blogged.com, which, in part, reads, “We evaluated your blog based on the following criteria: Frequency of Updates, Relevance of Content, Site Design, and Writing Style. After carefully reviewing each of these criteria, your site was given its 8.0 score (out of ten).” Wow, what a way to start my morning! Thanks.

Slowly but surely and with amazing support from the blogosphere, I know I’ll reach my goal.

If you enjoyed this post, consider buying me a chai tea latte. Thanks kindly.
