In redesigning my blog, I was going to include bookmark icons for digg, reddit, del.icio.us, etc. under each blog post (I actually had them in the code at one point). Then I read an article over at 37signals that changed my mind.

What Matt has to say about these icons caused the proverbial “light bulb” to go off in my head. I’ve got a new blog and I’d love to get noticed. Write cranked content about stuff that I’m passionate about and knowledgeable on. If the content is good, like Matt says, then people will come. People will notice. My stuff will end up on digg, reddit, and all those other “news” sites out there. So why push the issue?
