If you read my blog in any depth, you know that I go to great lengths to attribute information and sources, when I can. And I can tell you that I spent a lot of time on this list, comparing the information out there (my post begins with “A lot has been written on the benefits of blogging for business…”), and there is A LOT of information out there — and it all pretty much says the same thing. I can’t say for sure that all of these people got the information originally from your list, because some of the benefits of business blogging are pretty standard and well known at this point, (and I never found your list in my research) — maybe it’s just the format of putting it into a list, and the order of the list that started with you. If so, it was a good way to organize what to some people is still complex information, so, thanks for putting it out there.

For my list, I did use some of the common subheads I found to be consistent on many, many lists, but because I synthesized, rewrote, and gave my own opinions for the copy in each category, I couldn’t really attribute the information to anyone but myself — as the comments are based on my experience as a blogger as well as my research.

What is it they say about the sincerest form of flattery? I know it’s better if it comes with the attribution — so, if you’ll give me the link to your original list (I didn’t find it on the link you left?) I’ll gladly point the way for my readers.

And thanks for stopping by and cueing me in.
Cheers,
Marcia
