Thanks for the apology -- it was unnecessary but gracious. I do think that if you had posted your in a group that seemed relevant AND said that it was your own blog and why you thought it would be interesting, then it wouldn't seem like self-promotion. It was more the not-up-frontness of it that bothered me than the self-promotion. Best of luck.

Hi there -- you know if you put a message around your link that was just like the one you left on my page, i don't think you'd have any trouble at all! You could even start and thread and ask people for their feedback. You'd probably get some good ideas that way.

Thanks for the follow-up. It was very well done.

I think it would be less seen as "crass self promotion" if you mention it rarely and in the appropriate threads/groups. I think there is a blog thread for instance. Also, it would also come across better if you mention that the link goes to your own blog.

Thanks again for the considered and considerate reply.
