Hey, you, reader:

Ever been browsing someone's blog, website, repo -- even their social web profile -- and thought to yourself "Wow, that's really neat. I love what they did here!"

Consider telling them! Someone on here made a post a while back encouraging people to do just that, and I've tried to make a conscious habit of contacting the authors of neat little indie and smolweb sites.

Email, guestbook, comment; whatever it might be, consider reaching out somehow to share your appreciation. You might be surprised at how much it makes their day.

You might also be surprised to discover how much making their day makes yours, too.

@ety totally agree! It makes a huge impact to hear from someone and you never know what connections can arise as a result! Also if you find music you love, send them a message on Bandcamp or socials or leave a mini review. Every time this happens to me it brightens up my week 😊😊❤️❤️

I do it a lot with all the photoblogs I follow and find myself slowly forming new relationships as a result. It's very rewarding.
