Tooting my own horn

In an attempt to try out some of the advice in Skellie’s guest post Blogging With Audacity – on the excellent Problogger site – I’m dedicating this post to tooting my own horn.

I hope you’ll forgive me if I miss a note or two – I’m not an experienced horn-tooter.

Ok, here we go:

It’s always nice to see links on other sites pointing to my blog. Especially the ones that pop up without my involvement.

I was especially chuffed to see one relatively recent link.

It was posted on a teacher’s resource site on climate issues, set up by the Danish Ministry of Education, as a sidekick to Denmark’s hosting of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in December this year.

Ok, so my blog wasn’t listed on their front page; it’s two levels deep from the front page.

But still: it’s listed as a resource for ideas in a lesson plan for lower secondary students, described as…

[...] teaching the principles behind private installations for the supply of renewable energy and the arguments for purchasing such installations.

…and listed alongside links to the US Environmental Protection Agency and the BBC.

Woohoo! Huzzah! I ruuul*HONK*

Ahem. Sorry about that last out-of-tune part. Must be something wrong with my horn.

(Totters away, mumbling to himself, head hung in shame)
