is there a reason there is no link to the full version of the ‘cube of destiny’?
I really want to print out a high quality one to hang on my corkboard

Oh, and David, yes, you’re a biter but don’t worry, I still love you (’cause I can’t afford to hate anyone amassing a weapon collection in his basement).
I am SO getting kicked off Hugh’s blog.
Back to the X List I go.

Ahhh…the deadly X List virus is spreading.
Soon I’ll be more evil than Hugh (who is, of course, more evil than Microsoft).
BTW…is it any wonder everyone wants to get on the X List? Much more fun. X Listers are sexier than A Listers, and get invited to more parties than Z Listers.

Even if a X-Lister gets an A-Lister link, it gives him nothing but a short term spike in the visitor curve. Readership has to grow naturally, even though there may be exceptions. It is YOU that grows while trying to grow your readership!
X-Listers should seek the advise of and relation to the A-Lister, not just single links.

I may not have made it clear that the well-respected journalist wrote the article on his employer’s blog.
You can mess with your readership all you want, just don’t mess with your employer’s readership.
Thanks for the link!

Hugh, the link for the David St.Lawrence article is a bit off (I think its either the article before or after).
As for linking…I link to people with good content. Period. I don’t care if its an A, Z, or X blogger (though the X bloggers are more fun).

i like how the drone has an environmental context in this drawing– ie, he isn’t in a void like your usual characters.
and also: you don’t have to link to anyone, ever. but it’s still a nice thing to do.

Nope, A-Lister’s have a responsibility to one thing and that’s simply to write genuinely about what ever it is they write about. If you see something from a Z-Lister interesting enough to converse over or share with your reader’s then I think linking to it is a pretty fair and genuine as attribution if nothing else.
I’m not even on the list, let alone way down in the Z’s but I’m happy enough to know I don’t get readers because my waffle sucks, not because the cool kids aren’t linking to me.
Nice try on making out your a hard ass Hugh, we all know your a total sweetheart after your “Evil plan”…
