The Relationship Blogger: not a one-link stand

One-link stand — I wish I could claim credit for such a great line, but it belongs to one of my favorite mentors and friends in the on- and off-line world, Liz Strauss at Successful Blog.

A year ago this month I wrote a tribute to Liz for all of the help and guidance she’s offered. It was titled A Place To Come Home To: Successful Blog, because at Liz’s place, you’re only a stranger once.

This year, Liz threw another virtual party and invited a bunch of friends from around the world to visit Successful Blog, say hello and bring a link that was special to them.

You know me, I wandered in late as usual, but I took a post about the Dutch Waddenzee Islands, Texel and Terschelling in the North Sea because it’s like Liz; unusual and welcoming and a little off the beaten path (the Nov/Dec 07 National Geographic Traveler magazine Destinations Rated/Islands article lists Texel as a lovely “pastoral experience.”)

In tribute to all that Liz teaches me about community, I’m going to blast out the many wonderful links that Successful Blog birthday partiers brought to the festivities, and thank Liz again for her encouragement and vision.

These Links Were Shared in Just the First 210 Comments!!

And then up to comment #440….

Thanks to Liz and everyone for, as always, a great conversation….

Hello, you made the party extra special by passing on a little more of the pleasure. Thanks so much for the link. I’m very glad you didn’t make it a one link stand!!!

Wow, you’ve been busy! I was hoping someone would put the party together to share links. Then life got busier.

What a fantastic name for a blog … bless Liz :-)

Thanks for all the links! I liked the green driveway story, and your story about taking the kids to the Dutch islands of Texel and Terschelling (thanks also for linking to the National Geographic Traveler Places Rated survey– I fact-checked that story so I was happy you liked it).
More on Waddenzee: Traveler ran a story on mudwalking in our May/June ‘02 issue (not online unfortunately)– mucky, strenuous fun.
And you might like this cool aerial shot of Texel island in the Nat Geo “Visions of Earth” photo gallery. It’s the second shot, with the concentric rings of sand and 2,000 people standing in the rings to celebrate a local theater festival: http://magma.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/visions-of-earth/visions-of-earth.html

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for visiting and sending the photos; how cool!

I do remember that wadlopen/mudwalking article because we were still living in NL then and were going to try it, but the kids were a bit too young.

We love National Geographic Traveler….
