Blog-to Show
July 25, 2008 by Lillie
Liz Strauss at Successful-Blog is generously giving all bloggers a chance to show off their blogs this weekend at the Blog-to Show.
So this weekend is a Successful-Blog Blog-to Show. It’s a Virtual Auto Show for Blogs. Detail your blog. Polish the trim and come show it off. We’ll line them up, look them over, and get to know each other and our blogs just that much better.
I don’t have time right now to detail or polish the trim on my blog, though that’s planned (and has been for some time). But I’m going to participate even if the chrome isn’t as shiny as it could be.
Liz suggested that we write a post linking to some of our most popular content to introduce visitors from the Blog-to Show to our blogs.
The three most popular posts recently were all Stumbled - something I’m learning can make the difference between a handful of page views and 8,000+ page views.
How to Write an Interview-Winning Resume
Two of the three posts with the most comments in the last six months were directly related to this blog I find it interesting that two different thank-you-to-commenters posts are among the most popular and the most commented.
Beginning the Year with Thanks
What I Learned from Mashing It Up
I listed some of my favorite posts from my first year of blogging in Double Whammy: Blast from the Past Meme and Carnival of Circular Communication. Those posts haven’t been read or commented on as much because my blog had fewer readers then that it does today, but they are still among my favorites a year later.
Most months feature a series of posts on a particular subject. The Series and Related Posts page lists all the series and many related posts. Visit that page to get a good taste of my blog.
And when you read the posts, be sure to read the comments as well. You’ll find great conversations filled with inspiration and information.
Thank you for visiting and thanks to Liz for the Blog-to Showcase.

Hi Lillie - I missed the showcase deadline because of Liz. I’m going to write about it today to explain.
Your Interview Winning Resume was fab. My husband changed his resume after reading it and he got an email yesterday inviting him to a job interview. So your advice really helped - thank you.
Hi, Lillie!
Thought about entering my blog but didn’t, since I just haven’t managed to update much lately. Glad you decided to participate, though!

Liz is a wonderful lady
she even gave away 45 min of blog consulting for my blog contest as prize …although the contest failed as most of the other people who were donating prizes ran away after they had the review…
I literally don’t have time these days to visit her blog but you again pinged me …will check her latest articles very soon
Hi Lillie,

Hello, Lille, nice to meet you via the Blog-to Show.
I will definitely be back to read more of your articles and to dig into your blogroll a bit. I’d love to discover more blogs devoted to writing.
Thanks!
Hi Lillie, I’ve come from Liz’s blog to show extravaganza and wanted to say hi. I’m a writer too and you have an impressive writing blogroll there. I see you have a novel due for release. congratulations. I have some short fiction as part of my site, but my novel is stuck at 3rd draft stage at the moment. Must pull motivation from somewhere to continue on. Do you have any spare, just lying around somewhere? I’ll swap you my son’s chocolate fundraising boxes for a healthy dose of motivation. I’m ding more eating than selling anyway.
Will have more of a look around and speak to you again later.
Have a great day.
Kelly
Hi Lillie,
It’s been a while since I came over here! So many blogs, so little time! I always enjoy yours.
Found your blog via Liz Strauss’ Blog-To Show! (I’m #90 on the list.) Doesn’t it feel like suddenly you’ve been given 259 other nuggets of chocolate and that now you need more time to enjoy them all? Lovely blog. I’ll be back!
Oh Damn! I have missed that and I am still repenting that. Perhaps i shall have more opportunities in future.
