I want to send out a big thank you to a very lovely lady, who cam up with a great idea that blossomed into a big wonderful community! If you are joining me from #31DBBB then you will know exactly who I’m talking about, Nirvana_Mamma! You can find her on twitter, tweeting along with us, or you can check out her wonderful blog, NirvanaMamma.com !
If you haven’t come from #31DBBB let me tell you about NirvannaMamma, or also known as Erin. One day had an awesome idea. She wanted to do Problogger’s 31 Days to Build a Better blog. But she also wanted to not do it alone! So she decided to see if anyone else wanted to join her. She now has over 500 people that have joined in this great event and I even saw more people joining today.
Not only did she come up with the idea but she has been working like a crazy woman on it. She has just been amazing. She has been busy on twitter and on blogfrog, but what you may not realize is that she has been doing so much on the behind scenes also. I know because I tried helping her out, though Lynda from Digital Woe ended up being a much bigger help! She has been working on keeping the database of users going and been trying to make tweepl lists going and getting rss feeds set up for people to follow everyone. She has been trying to event games to help out the participants that haven’t received very many comments. And while doing all this she has been trying to do her 31 day challenges, and if you are like me you are just struggling to keep up with those, let alone doing everything else she is doing!
As you can see she is one amazing woman and I wanted to send out a wonderful big thank you to Erin! So please join me in a big BIG THANK YOU to erin! Please let her know how wonderful she is in the comments because she has to see them all anyways, because she decided I should be blog of the day for her new game and she will get to read them all!!
THANK YOU ERIN!!
MAKE SURE AND LEAVE YOUR THANKS TO ERIN IN THE COMMENTS TOO!!
WTG on being the blog of the day! I was excited that it was a blog I’d already seen doing the #31DBBB – it was like knowing someone famous!

I love this group! Congratulations to you for being chosen Blog of the Day. Thank you for shining the spotlight on Erin for bringing this fantastic project to life. What if she would have discounted her thoughts as “not important” or “no one will listen”? We would have missed out on having a live chat today with Darren Rowse and on all the hustle bustle “I gotta clean up my blog” activity going on in the SITS blogosphere. Erin, you rock!! It’s a marathon, not a sprint. We’re all here to support and help. Love meeting you all and see you around the commenting, tweeting, blog frogging neighborhood

Erin is so super cool! I feel very privileged to be working with her on this; she has made it a fun experience for the leaders too!
When I signed up for this, I never dreamed it would be such an EVENT. I know Erin has to feel beyond proud to have orchestrated something this grand. This kind of thing looks GREAT on a professional resume!

Big pat on the back, high-five and anything else for Erin! She’s really been the cheerleader, the behind-the-scenes guru and everything else. I’m sure she’ll feel SO proud to read this.
Erin, you rock!
