    You da man. Well done, my friend. Love the advice on the A-Listers. How true. And to be frank, I think they read the more dedicated bloggers for source material.

    Well done, sir. I was at the BlogHer Panel that Stefania refers to in her posts (i'm not the jerk in it) and wrote the "open letter to mommybloggers" in response:

    You should also check out Mom101's post: http://mom-101.blogspot.com/2007/07/lookin-out-... />
    But here's what's also important - to be really good at this, we don't want to just read the blogs, we have to change the way we do this to include diverse voices.

    I would refer you to Mocha Momma: http://www.mochamomma.com/2007/07/30/marginaliz... />

    Nice observation, thanks. I don’t visit your blog every day, but when I
    visit your blog I enjoy browsing through your old posts and try to catch up
    what I have missed since my last visit.

    This is my first visit, through Eric's CommonSensePR blog, and I learned a lot. Thanks.

    Brian:

    Oldie but goodies. Am forwarding this series to my client. So much of this boils down to genuine human respect.

    I am wondering in your experience if the blogger outreach experience is all that different from reaching out to traditional journalists? I mean, in my limited experience with journalists, if you have ANY hope of reaching them you have to have a good hook that relates to their story or beat (those that still have one) etc. Is it all that different with bloggers? Or does their relative accessibility make them "appear" to need less attention, when in fact, they need the same amount (or more...).

    Suggestion? Can you put the links to Parts II and III here in the first post (or more prominently if I missed them after scanning around for them).
