Well\u2026 perhaps not quite the biggest, but still something I\u2019m\r\n\tquite proud of, and worth blogging about. Today, 2004-08-22, an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lachy.id.au\/dev\/css\/examples\/2004\/08\/fittslaw\" title=\"Fitts\u2019 Law\">example <abbr title=\"Cascading Style Sheets\">CSS<\/abbr> technique<\/a> I\r\n\tpublished, was featured in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mezzoblue.com\/\">Dave Shea<\/a>\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mezzoblue.com\/dailies\/2004\/08\/22\/\" title=\"August 22nd Dailies\">Dailies<\/a> list.<\/p>\r\n<p>I know it&#8217;s only there for a day, before it&#8217;s hidden away in the archives,\r\n\tbut everyone has 15 minutes of fame in their life, today I got mine. I think\r\n\tthis is a great achievement, even though it\u2019s only one link, it is the first.\r\n\tIt just goes to show that even the big guns, such as Dave, haven\u2019t lost sight\r\n\tof the little people, and respect good quality work no matter who it\u2019s from.\r\n\tOf course, I already knew this about Dave, since he accepted and published my\r\n\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.csszengarden.com\/\"><abbr title=\"Cascading Style Sheets\">CSS<\/abbr> Zen\r\n\tGarden<\/a> design, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.csszengarden.com\/?cssfile=http:\/\/www.lachy.id.au\/dev\/css\/zengarden\/office2003\/office2003.css\" title=\"\">Office\r\n\t2003<\/a>, as he does for many other designers, whether they\u2019re well known or\r\n\tnot. <em>(Note to self: I must stop <a href=\"\/blogs\/log\/2004\/08\/another-redesign-now-its-my-turn\" title=\"Another Redesign (Now it's My Turn)\">writing\r\n\tabout Dave<\/a> in <a href=\"\/blogs\/log\/2004\/08\/harsh-criticism\" title=\"Harsh Criticism\">every\r\n\tpost<\/a> ?.)<\/em><\/p>\r\n<p>Anyway, I must admit that that has been one of my goals since I became a blogger.\r\n\tie. To write something good enough that it is considered worth linking to from\r\n\tone of the well known blogs. So, this got me thinking. What are my other goals?\r\n\tWhat do I want to achieve from my site and from my blogs? How many readers do\r\n\tI have, and how many do I consider to be a respectable amount?<\/p>\r\n<p>One thing that I feel is important to becoming a good blogger is receiving\r\n\tlots of feedback and comments about what I write, or general comments about\r\n\tmy site design, usability and functionality, etc. So, if your reading this,\r\n\tlet me know what you think.<\/p>\r\n<p>I have had some comments previously, and most have\r\n\tbeen quite positive. But I really want to get more. That way, I can improve\r\n\tthe content I publish, which will benefit me because I\u2019ll get more readers,\r\n\tbut more importantly, it will benefit my readers because they\u2019ll have something\r\n\tgood to read \u2014 what good is blog, if no-one enjoys reading it? So, do\r\n\tyourself a favour. Leave me comment: critisize or compliment me \u2014 it\u2019s your\r\n\tchoice, any feedback is good feedback.<\/p>\r\n<p>One final note: please at least leave your name and\/or <abbr title=\"Uniform Resource Identifier\">URI<\/abbr> at\r\n\tthe end of your comment. It\u2019s nice to know names, and to see the sites of my\r\n\treaders.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today, I got the biggest surprise of my life since I started blogging just a few months ago.
