I quite enjoyed the guest bloggers, as they revisited the ‘basic’ ideas of blogging, as well as some more advanced methods. It really made me try to be simpler in my ways, and not cramp my blog with additional gimmiks.

It was great writting for you Darren! I enjoyed the increased traffic and the link (for SEO). II also loved to read other ProBloggers’ opinions, tips, and tricks. If there will be another guest post series, I am definately up for it! Welcome back!

Ditto on the thanks. I didn’t do it for the exposure, just for the karma (which is a whole lot more valuable!).

Thanks for letting me post! Glad to do it anytime.

It was nice being exposed to some similar minded material by others

Hey Darren– Welcome back to the land of the living. Brush off that suntan-induced peeling skin and get back to work. :) Thanks for letting me write for you. It’s been great. :)

Welcome back Darren. I too enjoyed all of the guest posts, there was something to be gained out of all of them. I was especially fond of Aarons, http://www.problogger.net/archives/2005/12/26/10-things-you-should-know-about-wordpress-20/ , very helpful stuff!

Welcome back Darren,

Hope you had a good SUMMER vacation (I agree with Nicole).

I enjoyed the guest bloggers, and the variety of their posts. You may want to continue this periodically, especially when you get writers block. LOL.

Anyway, stay cool and welcome back.

I finally figured what bugged as wong me the whole time when reading your holiday posts – it is winter here, not summer! :o))

The guest posters provided a good series of tutorials on topics you might not ordinarily write about (or at least I wouldn’t notice you writing about). But I definitely missed your posting frequency and the blog-related news.

Also, I wonder if some of the traffic spike was due to picking up new readers when some guest posters linked to their posts. (Along with a general post-Christmas bump.)

Thanks for publishing my post Darren. Although I do not want to run a blog on Blogging. I like writing about it occasionally and sharing some of the knowledge I have collected.

I would be very interested in more regular contributions. Something like they have at Performancing perhaps.

I have an article on mind maps brewing and it needs to go somewhere.

Anyway, welcome back and may 2006 be twice as profitable as 2005, lol.

Hi Darren, and welcome back. As one of the guest bloggers, I must say I enjoyed the extra exposure it gave, along with a general warm feeling of being part of a community.

I also enjoyed the variety of posts, and the differing writing styles encountered, its always interesting to be able to compare styles when all the posts are centered around one topic (even one that can be as broad as problogging).

Welcome back, Darren. A rest is as good as a feast, I always say. Looking forward to more great problogging stuff in 2006.

Nice stats graph, mine has about 500x smaller numbers, otherwise they look similar.. :)

Welcome back Darren. I hope the time off finds you rested and ready to get back to writing some great content.

I enjoyed the opportunity to write for Problogger. I also enjoyed reading the other guests’ posts as well; they were very informative and were interesting reads.

Keep up the good work!

Probloggers is the site we can visit during our holiday lull to get re-energized. You created a win win situation for you and your guest bloggers.

Good on ya…

For my part, I enjoyed writing for you, and maybe we’ll all get to do this again sometime. :)

I liked the guest posts. I love reading your posts, Darren, but it was good to get exposed to some other bloggers I was not familiar with, and I got some good ideas from the guest posts too.
