A Hat Tip to Blogs I Read in Silence
Image by !borghetti via FlickrThe other day I thanked my silent readers, people who come to Word Sell but don’t comment. I swiped the idea from Joanna Young.
Pay It Forward
Now I’d like to be original and tip my hat to blogs I read religiously but seldom if ever comment on.
Maybe you’d like to share your favorites as well.
My Favorite No Comment Blogs
Matthew Stibbe - Insightful and amusing commentary on the art and science of copywriting.
John Moore - Brand Autopsy was one of the first blogs I remember reading and is still one of my favorites.
Jennifer’s Goodness Graciousness gets my day off on the right foot. I love her simple, deeply spiritual inspiration.
Jackie Cameron - Jackie writes about careers in a way that never fails to challenge me.
Kenneth W. Davis - his writing tips are short and very, very sweet.
Deb’s Punctuality Rules gets into the minutiae of grammar and usage I find absolutely fascinating.
Sparkplug CEO - Wendy Piersall and company cover all aspects of entrepreneurship in detail and with exuberance.
Ulla Hennig - I’ve actually started commenting on Ulla’s blog, but I’ve enjoyed her photographs and thoughtful reflections for quite a while.

That’s another great idea Brad… might have to borrow it back!
Joanna Youngs last blog post..October Theme: Writing With Responsibility
Hi Joanna, Please do. I think it would make for interesting reading!
Brad Shorrs last blog post..Thank You, Silent Readers
Thanks, Brad! No pressure here, or anything…
What a novel idea, Brad — and a wonderful way to show your appreciation to the bloggers who might not otherwise know you’re reading (and loving) their work!
Brad,
thanks a lot for the link love! I appreciate so much having you as a reader - silent or otherwise. I am a silent reader of your blog as well - most of the time, as I am not in the marketing business. But some of your posts I feeling able to comment on and then I do.
And the idea of presenting blogs followed but seldom commented upon is great!
Ulla Hennigs last blog post..The Colours of Autumn
Hi Deb, Nothing you can’t handle! Jeanne, I hope other bloggers pick up on the idea. It’d be interesting to know what other bloggers read silently. Ulla, it’s an honor to have you as a reader, knowing you’re not even the marketing business. I think your comments here add a lot when you make them.

It would indeed, Brad!
Hi Brad - this is a great idea. I must admit - I read many blogs without commenting. Sparkplugging is one I also read a lot but don’t often comment.
Cath Lawsons last blog post..Is Ebay Trying To Get Rid Of All Its Sellers?
Cath, If I tried to comment every time I wanted to, that’s all I’d be doing.
Brad Shorrs last blog post..A Hat Tip to Blogs I Read in Silence
Thank you so much Brad.I realise that I read a lot of blogs in silence too. The balance for me is always commenting where comments would be valuable over commenting generally ( especially when I come to a post late and everyone else has covered what I would have).
[…] I wrote a while back about my appreciation of silent readers… not least as I read many blogs silently myself. Brad Shorr at Word Sell picked up and developed this idea, including a hat tip to the blogs he reads in silence. […]
