Hi, Mom! That's my article, ranked at #1 today...
Quick note to say, “thanks!”
Thanks to all my friends and followers on Facebook. I booted up this morning and saw a recent blog post from this site ranked #1 in the “most voted” articles across all blogs in the NetworkedBlogs app. Technically, this is not SEO but it does help spread the web of connections. I got a whole new audience today–ALL DAY–who came and checked out the blog for the first time.
I had to screenshot the moment for our “Small Moments in History” trophy case. Okay, there is no such trophy case. I grabbed the screenshot anyway. Just in case.
Do you use Facebook and write a blog? Or read one or more blogs? You’ll want to explore what you can do with this really cool app. The name again is NetworkedBlogs — Bring your blog to Facebook.
Happy Friday!

I’m number one! I’m number one! I’m number…
