Spreading The Word

The 'Spread The Word' Blog Directory is the brainchild of the dynamic Mel from Monday Morning Power. As Mel says, it's a great way to:

• Share your blog
• Explain why you blog
• Find new blogs to read
• Promote your blog
• Obtain instant links
• Increase readership

If you have a blog and you'd like to join in, please feel free! The rules are set out below.

Or if you're more interested in finding new blogs, you can find the directory here. The great thing about this particular directory is that all the bloggers link to what they believe is 'their most important, most representative, or most relevant post'. So what you'll be getting in every case is the best of what they have to offer: a more enjoyable way to sample a blog than just turning up and reading their latest post.

Here are the rules:

**Start Copy Here**

We have a voice;
We must be heard;
Therefore we blog;
Now spread the word!

This directory is based on a recent post that was conducted asking the question “Why do you Blog?” and the rewrite “Why do you Blog? - Reworked.” The purpose of this directory is to tell our tales by spreading the reasons that we blog to as many sites as possible. We get to explain ourselves, direct traffic to our site and highlight our most important, most representative or most relevant post in an SEO favorable format. This will be a positive experience for everyone who wants to get involved. This will enable you to create a short advertisement for your site that will be spread across the blogesphere; a growing directory of blogs.

This is an open directory.  You do not have to be tagged to join in.  All you have to do is follow the rules.

Please let me know when you have added your site by leaving a comment on “Master List” with a link to your post. This will insure an up-to-date list, giving you even greater distribution. You then need to copy the growing list back to your site on a regular bases.

Rules:

1. Copy the archived directory from *Begin Directory* to *End Directory* and place it in your archives (back date it so that it does not appear on your front page. This list is too long for your front page.) Title this post "Spread The Word" Directory
2. Copy from "**Start Copy Here**" through "**End Copy Here**" on this post
3. Paste into a new post
4. Create an inventive post title
5. Write a brief introduction to the post.
6. Before “**End copy here**”, In place of my paragraph, please add your name, site name (with link), a very brief description (2-3 sentences) of why you blog, and your most important, most representative, or most relevant post (with link.)
7. Make sure that the link at the end of your post links to your archived directory, not mine.
8. Tag others to participate.  This is a request, not a requirement.
9. Leave a comment and a link to your post on “Master List.”  That way I can grab your addition and add it to this growing list.
10. Schedule regular visits to the "Master List" so you can copy/paste into your archive, keeping your list current.

Hi there! I’m Secret Simon. A while back, I got ill and most of my life came to a sudden, crunching halt. Faced with lots of time on my hands, I started to wonder what it all meant. What was I doing here? Why was I ill? And where exactly were all these questions coming from anyway? I started thinking seriously about 'life, the universe and everything'. My blog, The Secret Of Life, is a part of this ongoing process. And what is 'the secret of life'? The closest I've come to attempting an answer is in a post called Feeling What Is.

Hi Secret Simon,
You are on the list now. That must have been when I had a minor system crash. Sorry about that. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

BTW, I love your intro to the list, about finding the best of the blogs. I wish I would have thought of that angle. Nicely done!
