    Hehe, like your “link love” image. Wow, Jacob! Nice way to thank everyone :) If only I’d written my entry for your contest two days earlier, or if you’d posted this later! Another link would’ve been added for Creative Curio! My entry will be going up on Wednesday and I’ll be sure to send you an email.

    WHOA!! You wrote a post for Problogger?! Awesome!!! How did you manage to get noticed by Darren??

    I think this is a nice gesture to build community and good will.

    I too like your link image :)

  5. Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Thanks for the compliments via the image. Both were both stock images from http://www.sxc.hu just with a bit of colour change.

    Look forward to your article.

    Darren is going away for a while in March so he called for some guest posts (check his feed).

    First 100 people to apply got to have a shot at being on problogger, I still may not get on, who knows? It was a good original article though so I hope it gets on.

    Ps. I will make the closing date to comment on this post on the 4th of March (coinciding with the other deadline of the other competition).

    Yes I haven’t forgot about it, I ‘owe’ one to Vandelay Webdesign, David Airey and you :P The last post kept me pretty busy though, tis why I didn’t post for 4 days.

  8. Group Writing Projects on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Thanks for the link, Jacob.

    The amount of effort you’ve put into this group writing project is making it one for the ages. We’ll try to inspire copycats :)

    Jacob

  9. Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Your welcome Jacob. :)

  10. David Airey on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Great to see your site back up, Jacob. I noticed the traffic brought it down last night, which wasn’t surprising given your resourceful post.

    Best of luck getting your guest article published on ProBlogger, and thanks for spreading the love!

    Thanks Kristarela.

    Audee, your welcome! Happy Birthday!

  13. Regan on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Thanks for the mention Jacob.

    As you can see my site is essentially niche retail; and not design based at all. I learned early that it’s good (read: essential) to hang around design blogs to pick up whatever education I can to help craft my own site better.

    I’ve appreciated your indirect input this far.

  14. Jacob Cass on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    Your welcome Regan. Glad to keep you sticking around ;)

  15. James Chartrand - Men with Pens on Feb 26, 2008 said:

    @ Jacob - Very cool, thanks for the link. Seems like everywhere I go these days, your name pops up, too, so your master plan looks like it’s working nicely.

    See you soon on Problogger - I got in myself, which was pretty cool.

    Yeah good luck getting a post on there, hopefully he posts everyone’s (eventually anyway). Your welcome, and yes I am trying to get my name out there!

  17. Brian Yerkes on Feb 27, 2008 said:

    Hi Jacob

    I was just about to email you this morning to let you know the site was down last night just to make sure you knew…but I guess with the time difference over here in the States I was a little behind!

    Nice to see it back up quickly and I will be adding you to my new blog’s blogroll. Stop by and visit sometime, it’s currently in it “ouch, i just lost my wordpress virginity” stage… all the best mate

    A big thumbs up to you Jacob for all the great work you’ve been doing. Your site crashing the other day is a positive sign of your success and growth. May the bandwidth of your server continue to be threatened!

    So sorry Zinni, very much appreciated. I have added you to the list! Thanks.

  27. Jared Walker - Web Designer on Feb 28, 2008 said:

    I’ve been reading your blog lately ever since I saw your article on Freelance Folder. I’m more on the web side than graphic design, but there’s a lot of crossover. Thanks for the interesting posts.

  28. Jacob Cass on Feb 28, 2008 said:

    Hi Jared, glad to have you as a reader, I do cross over a bit with the topics on JCD as all of design does cross over in some way or another. You have a nice website too :)

  29. Michael Buckingham on Mar 3, 2008 said:
