Well, it was a lot of fun writing a post for and getting included in the Blogging Goals group writing project that ProBlogger Darren Rowse initiated.

Now I’d like to recommend reading them! OK, not all at once, since there are 130, but a few a day will give you a good idea of the width and depth of the blogging world.

One thing that continually surprises and delights me is how the blogosphere is evolving and growing. People like Darren are a big part of that — he’s great at coming up with new, exciting ideas and he’s very inclusive. He’s created a site people read regularly, comment on, and recommend to others. Can’t do better than that. Oh yeah — he makes a ton of money at it, too.

There’s a lot of good stuff in the posts listed in the blogging goals project; lively writing, frequently funny and full of insights — nothing especially lengthy or ponderous. These posts not only have some good ideas about goals, they also illustrate good blog writing.

If the idea of looking at a list of 130 links seems daunting, quite a few bloggers have written posts about their explorations and recommendations from the list. Check these out:

Liz at Successful Blog writes her thoughts on The Blogging Goals Project — the posts she liked and the reasons why projects like this are a good idea.

Pittsburgh Homes Daily lists My personal ‘best of’ Blogging Goals to date. I made #40, “Most surprising link.” I wonder which link it was?

Phil Newton shares his personal favorites from the group writing project. He’s right — I do have “…a lot of really useful information tucked away.” Thanks, Phil.

Now I’ve written a post about posts about the Blogging Goals project. Maybe this is an example of the blog as echo chamber?
