Darren on Problogger challenged his readers to come up with 7 links to posts in 7 categories, post them on our blogs, and spread them.  Here are mine:

1. Your first post

OK, here it is.  My first post.  Looking at it (and some of the older ones) makes me both smile and cringe.  But I was also excited at the same time.  See what you think.

2. A post you enjoyed writing the most

This was hard! I guess it’s like choosing between your children.  Can I add several?  The ones I enjoy the most are the ones that just jump out of my keyboard onto the page (“flow,” as Daniel Pink says). However, I’ll pick Are You a Linchpin? It was fun to write, it jumped off the page, and I was really excited about what I’d just read.

3. A post which had a great discussion

Lamborghini or Hyundai? didn’t have the most comments (that honor goes to my Linchpin review), but it sparked an interesting discussion (both here and on the original post by an A-list blogger that inspired it). Imagine my shock when he commented!

4. A post on someone else’s blog that you wish you’d written

101+1 Small Business Marketing Questions for People Who Don’t Speak Marketing. Naomi Dunford has a wonderful way of avoiding the “curse of knowledge” – she’s able to explain complicated ideas in ways that are easy to understand. Warning: if you’re easily offended, she does have a potty mouth.

5. Your most helpful post

I think the most helpful post was What Marketers Can Learn From Fisherman. One of the most visited was Revealed: Why Clients Want to Make the Logo Big.

6. A post with a title that you are proud of

What better title than one about writing titles (headlines) Get Great Headlines Without Writing.  I like this because it promises to turn the difficult work of writing headlines into a straightforward, easy task, and because it seems like a contradiction. It arouses curiosity and offers a big payoff.

7. A post that you wish more people had read

Is Your Product a Solution Without a Problem?. Having an idea is great. Here’s what happens when people get too caught up in their great idea. Reading it could save a lot of time, effort, and money.
