My Blog Has Been Louis Grayed!
Yes this is a good thing. In fact it is a very good thing. Louis Gray is one of the premier Tech bloggers writing today. I visit his site daily and even have an email subscription to make sure I do not miss a post.
Louis has shown great interest and respect for the small unknown blogger. Since March he has been profiling 5 Blogs a month. March, April, May and June. The small blogs he has spotlighted have taken off and many are must reads in my google reader now. These blogs have included Hutch Carpenter, Charlie Anzman, SheGeeks, Julian Baldwin, Michael Fruchter, Mark Dykeman, Colin Walker, Alexander van Elsas, and many other outstanding blogs.
I am honored to be included in the list for July. I am included in great company. I already subscribe to two of them. I have already been reading Nathaniel Payne’s NerdFlood and David Risley but can not wait to check out the other two as well. Here is the list:
1) Bob Warfield / SmoothSpan Blog (smoothspan.wordpress.com)
2) Jesse Stay / Stay N’ Alive (www.jessestay.com)
3) Franklin Pettit / FPettit.com (www.fpettit.com)
4) Nathaniel Payne / NerdFlood (www.nerdflood.com)
5) David Risley / DavidRisley.com (www.davidrisley.com)
Thanks Louis for the link and mention. I am honored to be in the company of your monthly featured bloggers. I better get posting. I currently have 33 open drafts in Wordpress. It is time to finish some off and put out more content.

Congrats Franklin. It's always nice to see the little guys getting some exposure. Louis Gray is truly a class act, but we already knew that. :-)
-
Hint: Take advantage of the bump :)
-
@Mike - Louis is a class act and truly respects the small independent blogger.
-
@Charlie - I will definitely make the most of the bump.
-
Very cool Franklin. You very much deserve to be "put on the map".
-
@Hutch - Thanks so much.
-

-
Congratulations! I was Louis Grayed, too! We should all start a club. Or at the very least, a FriendFeed room. :)
-
@Nathaniel - Thanks I like Nerdflood. Your blog is great. Yes we should start a friendfeed room for those who have been LouisGrayed

I'd recommend you post an entry trying to measure the "Louis Gray Effect" in terms of RSS subscribers, or another metric you feel appropriate, in a couple weeks.
