I was just reading about BlogDay on BloggingTips and it was a great reminder that it is just only 2 weeks away so mark you calendars!

For those that don’t know, BlogDay is

created with the belief that bloggers should have one day dedicated to getting to know other bloggers from other countries and areas of interest. On that day Bloggers will recommend other blogs to their blog visitors.

The basic rules are as follows:

• Find 5 new Blogs that you find interesting
• Notify the 5 bloggers that you are recommending them as part of BlogDay 2007
• Write a short description of the Blogs and place a link to the recommended Blogs
• Post the BlogDay Post (on August 31st) and
• Add the BlogDay tag using this link:
  http://technorati.com/tag/BlogDay2007 and a link to the BlogDay web site at http://www.blogday.org

Ok, this is all great fun and its a great way to share some link love as well as get traffic to some well-deserved blogs, but what can this do for you as a blogger?

• This is another way to get personal and reveal a little bit more about yourself! By showing people what you recommend, you are also telling them something you like.
• Free Content! Well, let me elaborate a little bit. When I say free, I mean easy. This is like a freebie day for you. I guarantee finding 5 blogs that you like would be very easy so you can save your originally-scheduled post for another day. Count me in!
• You could be helping out your readers by pointing them to related blogs. If you have a niche blog, you can use this opportunity to share some great blogs that your readers will find useful

Have I convinced you to participate yet? I want to know….Seriously..I do. Tell me.
