Thanks Bryan. Hopefully I can do something to live up to the mentor status. I’m glad I’ve been a resource for you and I’ve enjoyed watching your site come together.

I guess you already figured you are becoming my mentor. Although originally, I had not contacted you with that intention. As time has continued I have found you to be a valuable resource, that offers a valuable opinion.

You’re welcome .

I visit your blog often and you have some great advice. However, what really sold me was your insight you gave me way back when on the WT thread How Do You Build Quality Links?

@James – I just reread the thread. Reading it again reminded me of writing it, but I’d be lying if I said I remembered what I wrote until now. I hope the advice helped, but I’m guessing your continued presence here means it did in some way.

@Aida – Glad to help and good luck finding mentors.

@Marian – Sounds like Rex is closer to the true definition of a mentor than some of what I’m describing here. Most of the people I’m describing in this post are people you might never meet. Of course the blogging mentors I talk about here are no substitute for a real life mentor who you can talk to. I think you’re ahead of the game.

@James – I was wondering who would be the first to suggest I was the mentor. I had a feeling someone would say it. Thanks.

@Kristine – I think it’s ok to study different people for different things. The key is to look beyond their words and study their actions.

@Aida – Your blogging mentor as I’m describing it here really has to be your choice. I mentioned a few of my own in the post, but it’s ultimately your decision based on where you want to take your blog. Just read some blogs on your topic and also on other topics. The blogs that affect you the most and affect you the way you want to affect your readers are the ones you should look to as mentors.

I’m also searching for blogging mentor, any recommendation?

Wow, I’d have to think about this one. I know there are people who write posts that I really admire and wish I’d written. I suppose I’m more like you, I have a couple of writers to whom I look for different things.
