As I was combing through the list of sites linking to Blogging Experiment trying to get some stats about Digg’s effect, I came across a brand new site called Make Money Bloggers which only has two posts so far. However, both posts are very well written reviews of blogs in the “make money” niche and to top it off, the first one is about Blogging Experiment! Now I don’t know about you, but I think that site’s off to a great start.

As I said, you can read the full review over at makemoneybloggers.com but I wanted to address the only critical point in the review. It’s certainly fun reading someone say nice words about you and your site, however, often I’ve found it’s the critiques that help you grow the most. Anyway, the author states:

He wrote a post on Bloggers Block, and somehow sounded like he coined the phrase. Hello, it is not what ‘you’ called. The expression is already documented in the blogosphere. Aside from that, his blog is a good read.

The comment also contains several links to different references to the term “blogger’s block” which obviously predate this site. There’s no doubt that I was not the first to come up with such a term but I wanted to make clear that I didn’t intend to sound like I was coining a term. There are several different names to call that dreadful occurrence in a blogger’s life, I was simply stating that I prefer to call it bloggers block and usually refer to it as such in my writings.

One of the things I’ve been told and discovered to be true is that no matter how many different times you go over an article or a post or even a specific sentence, you’ll never find every mistake or confusing spot in the writing. By nature we write in ways we understand and the simple fact of the matter is, that doesn’t always match up with what everyone else understands. For me that’s probably most of the time, but my point is, please don’t ever hesitate to question me or critique something I’ve written. As I’ve said in the past, one of the great things about blogs is the ongoing conversation and interaction they allow. From that, I hope that my skills as a blogger and communicator will continue to grow and improve as you all point out my flaws. So, Make Money Bloggers, thanks for the critique! Now if you can just get an about page up so I can thank you by name ;)
