(Blog) Mothers Day
David over at Third World County has a post up about his idea to honor Blogmothers. What's a Blogmother?
A “Blogmother,” for those of y’all who may be thinking I’ve slipped yet another cog, is the person (in this case, female person) who encouraged (or shanghaied) you to start blogging, helped, mentored you along the way, etc. Pretty much the same for a Blogfather. Last year I honored my Blogmother, even though she had no idea she was the proximal cause (hadda throw some lawyerese in, cos she’s a lawyer) of my blogging. This year, I’ll also honor my adoptive blogmommie (and IF I get a certain secret project finished before then, I’ll be sending her a lil surprise as well).
I have a feeling the cat is out of the bag on that surprise, David. Nonetheless, a great idea. My Blogmother is Joanne Jacobs. Hers is the very first blog I ever read and I have read her ever since. Finally, I decided to do this myself. She actually called me her Blogchild, which is why she's listed as such on the blogroll. So, if you have a Blogmother, trackback to David so he can put together an honor roll.
Blogmothers day is May 14th.
