A 9rules member! (well almost)
I checked the admin section of my weblog today and saw a new linking page: pingsix. And after visiting that site I discovered I made it with 110 others through the selection of round 4 of 9Rules! I am still one agreement away from placing the nice logo on my website.
When I submitted to 9rules I didn’t think I would make it. I was relatively new to regular blogging and thought I needed to grow a little more. But well, there was a submission round on the day I checked the 9rules site so why not just fill it in.
Some of the blogs I read were already member. Examples were I can see the logo are Creating Passionate Users, Functioning Form & David Seah. It is a big honor to become a member of this community.
For those who don’t know what 9Rules is:
The 9rules Network is a community of the best weblogs in the world on a variety of topics. We started 9rules to give passionate writers more exposure and to help readers find great blogs on their favorite subjects. It’s difficult to find sites worth returning to, so 9rules brings together the very best of the independent web all under one roof.
- Love what you do.
- Never stop learning.
- Form works with function.
- Simple is beautiful.
- Work hard, play hard.
- You get what you pay for.
- When you talk, we listen.
- Must constantly improve.
- Respect your inspiration.
I must say I really believe in those rules and will try my best to honor them. I will continue to try evolve my thoughts. Welcome new readers and expect some postings soon on experience design related topics.

I couldn’t agree more with you, I have noticed some slating going on about the number / quality of selected sites and I don’t want to be seen as doing anything other than what I normally do.

Indeed, I only see it as a compliment for getting the quality label. I don’t have much insights in the 9rules community itself. I will see by time what it will mean to be a member. Of what I have seen people tend to make it bigger and more important than it is. But that is to be expected by a selection by a kind of jury.
Oh, I forgot last time. You also congrats Alan!
