Thanks for describing your steps to making your blog so popular and successful. Keep up the great work with this blog. I was thinking quite a lot lately of the best ways to promote my old posts to the newer audience of my blog. I do have Popular Posts list on my sidebar, but I should also update my About page and probably create another page with a list of Featured or Best Bits. That's all on my to do list... also I'll most probably write a similar to this post on my blog as well, and if so - will submit the link in a comment to this post. it was a very fascinating read, Randa.

If you want to understand the "no follow" issue more, check out <a href="http://randaclay.com/blog/i-follow/">my page on the subject</a>. @Jeanne and Trinity - thanks for tagging me! While there are lots of silly memes that go around, this is a good one. @John - good idea. I do have my "most popular" in the sidebar, which accomplishes this purpose too. @Aruni - I enjoyed your post over there!

I think it is a good idea to give those who run across a post on your site an easy way to get an good sense of your blog - and what better way than highlight some great posts. They can take a quick sense which can help them decide if they want to subscribe to your site feed. I think a good place to point to this is in an about section (though some blogs use a "new readers notice...). I create a popular category and then tag my most popular posts which I then link to on my about page suggesting that new readers might want to browse that category, for example <a href="http://management.curiouscatblog.net/category/popular/">Curious Cat Management Improvement Blog most popular posts</a>. Linking to this post would work well for you I think. Nice post.

I've enjoyed reading your work, as well as finding a few blogs I hadn't known about. Thanks for participating in the meme! Memes like this one are invaluable in helping us learn more about what makes different bloggers tick--and showing us why we should be visiting their blogs more often! Regards, Jeanne Randa,

I read through and enjoyed 7 Habits of Highly Effective Bloggers. I agreed with all of them even though I'm not sure how to implement all of them. :-) I also looked through 6 Outstanding Logo Sites...very nice logo examples there. I still don't fully understand the NoFollow/IFollow issue. I think if anyone leaves a link on my blog it's live so others can click the link and get to their site. I always try to follow with an answer to anyone who comments on my blog as well. I was given the honor to contribute a guest post today on www.emomsathome.com! Wendy is amazing! Thanks for the links.
