Acknowledging A Nice Thing
Posted by Mitch Mitchell on Jan 12, 2011
Well how about this? Most people probably don’t pay attention here because I have the ads so low, but over there to the left a bit lower I have my book Embrace The Lead and my cd set Keys To Leadership.

If you’ve noticed those there before you’re probably seeing something different than you have in the past. I have new logos for each, courtesy of a reader and friend named Vernessa Taylor of CoachNotes Blog. As part of her “just being nice” process for the end of the year she contacted me and asked if I would mind if she created some logo images for me for those two items. Understanding that my creative mind doesn’t work that way, I immediately accepted, and these were some of the designs she came up with, which I’m running with.
Of course I loved them all, including the image I’ve put onto this post, but the thing I really love about the one I’m keeping permanently on the left for the book is that shadow reflecting thing; man, I couldn’t have done anything like that in a million years.
This is my way of thanking Vernessa and bringing her to your attention. It also shows that there are a lot of nice people online. If you like reading some of the things I talk about here you’ll love reading her blog as well, as she talks about some of the same things. Thanks Vernessa; the best to you!

Great job, Vernessa! And, of course, you too – Mitch.

1 – the comment box is wider than the content box when you start commenting
2 – the top banner seems a little too colorful and amateur like.
3 – those ebooks/books have white background, why not change its color to the general background? …

As for the pop up, you can see it on blogs with thousands of daily visits. I reckong it may not be an orthodox method and I’m thinking about removing it, or not.
At least, I’m facing the feedback and accusing people.
Sorry for upsetting you. Have a nice day.

I gave an advice on improvement, not on the person who created the design. Grown-up people with mature ways of thinking know how to take a suggestion, or that is what I thought.
When time is such a valuable thing, I took some time actually to advise what you should improve because I LIKED what I SAW. If I didn’t, I would have left the website and mind my business.
As for the first message, indeed, it may have appeared a little spammy, guilty as charged. But I also get a lot of short comments, but I don’t call them spammers, only if those are repeating
And, you are right about the feedback, you didn’t request for it. My bad. I will learn this lesson, I even thank you for that.
But say that I INSULTED someone is just too much

I returned your first comment, which was almost kind of spammy because it didn’t even address what the article was about, and everything was blacked out except for the advertisement; that’s not quite visitor friendly from where I sit. So I mentioned it to you here, and you reacted pretty much the way I reacted to your insulting the person who helped me out; if you can’t take it don’t push it out.
Finally, even if you were trying to be helpful, I don’t remember asking for it in this post. Whenever one gives unsolicited advice, one never knows how the reaction is going to be received. If I ask for it & don’t like what I get back, then it’s on me because I asked. Sure, I offer my opinion on blogs, but I always stay on the topic at hand. Based on the topic you wrote about, I’m assuming you’d think that would be a good thing.
Overall I’m fairly easy to get along with, but there are things I’m not going to be so nice about. Vernessa was being honored on this post; she will continue to receive honors because she did something nice, and I like it. And at that level, I’m the only one who has to like it in general, but others liked it as well. So, she still deserves an apology for hijacking what was a very nice tribute in my mind.
What a lovely surprise and such kind words.
Thanks for the kudos and link luv. I just want to note that I was in a creative mood and it was my pleasure to create some covers for your excellent management series.
And your commenters will forgive me if I do a shameless plug for both the book and CD. I’ve just started reading it but I already know I will be richer for the strategies you share.
Once again, many thanks!

Great graphics and well done Vernessa. She is very talented lady. I have visited her blog and she is very helpful with the advice she gives.
So glad this has been done for you Mitch. You give so much to the blogging community. Nice to be on the receiving end.
I have found that as I interact with those I am connecting with that we are all supporting one another.
One of my blogging buddies is doing some techie stuff for me right now and I am going to use my writing skills to help them out. Collaborating and getting it all done. Sweet.

Mitch, I adjusted your images so they have the transparent attribute and you can use them as you wish on white, colored, and psychedelic backgrounds. Zipped them over to you.
I’m not overly insulted, I’m pretty thick-skinned to the chagrin of most of my friends.
@Radu – Thanks for weighing in … The lesson here? There’s a time and place for everything, and contact forms work wonders for some things.
Thanks for all the great comments!

I was quickly going through some blogs and leaving feedback. People don’t mind when they receive some feedback. But, Mitch was right, he didn’t ask for it, so I’m guilty as charged here.
The lesson for me is that I shouldn treat all blogs the same way I do sometimes. And I am grateful for this lesson.
Again, sorry if this hurted you in some way.
