Manage to Change:
‘Twas the night before Blogtipping Day and all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse.
All the bookmarks were set in my browser with care,
In the hopes that my links would be quick to prepare.
All the bloggers were waiting to see how they did,
Hoping for link love - they all felt like kids!
And, I at my computer, with my dog on my lap,
Had just settled in for my monthly recap.
When a noise in my yard was all I could hear.
I ran to the window, my dog jumped to her feet
And I gasped as I saw who was out there to meet.
With a prolific blogger, at the root of the plan
I knew in a moment it was Easton, The Man!
With Yoda in tow and Pez for us all,
He linked to all those that had answered his call...
Converstations:
Generous links are spread
At a dizzying pace
With Easton summing it up
From his Blogtipping Place
“Thanks Ian, Thanks Duncan,
And usually Wendy times three,
Kudos to Noel, and to Rick,
Joe Hauckes and Chris Cree.
Way to go Horenfeldt and Bailey
Sarmiento and Hartsock
Stelzner, Lee, Mesritz…
These bloggers rock!”
So how do you Blogtip?
Each month the number grows.
Visit my blog-buddy Phil,
To find out how it goes…
Make it Great:
Thanks to Ann and to Mike,
For this blogtipping good poem,
Across the blogosphere comes me
Far and wide did I roam.
I found 3 blogs,
To tip for this time,
First John at Bizhack, the SLOBby link guy,
With lots of link love, and a shiny new design.
Next up was Kammie,
With her passionate verse
When mistaken for Yaro
She smiled, never terse.
Last tipped was Chris Owen,
Who writes “take a bite!”
It’s a great one, no doubt!
Liz Strauss:
Easton was dressed in a nice clothes — not college-kid rags,
But his clothes were a cloud of Technorati tags.
His backpack was full of compliments for handing out freely,
He was a blogger, on a mad posting spree.
His words-how they tickled! His remarks, oh, how insightful!
He could devise a surprise that was truly delightful!
Blogtipping was a phenomena, an artist’s creation!
Throughout the blogdom, blogtipping was now an occasion.
Yet Easton, the Blogtipping Man, didn’t know,
That bloggtipping day, we wait for him to show.
We know he’ll come to leave that one comment,
To say that he saw it. We wait to see what he says!
He slides into the comment box leaving a word,
And next thing you know, only laughter is heard!
Easton says: “Good job. I guess, it’s all in the wrist,”
And you wonder, Where does that guy get lines like this?
Then he springs to his blog, to his fans gives that smile,
And he’s gone before you can say, “Come back in awhile.”
But I saw him post once in very tiny, fine print,
“I love blogs. I love blogging. I love bloggers!
(and I just made you squint)”
Aw shucks, Diane - thanks for noticing! We really had fun putting that together.
