Goodies and Birthdays and Giveaways, oh my!

Darren's having a birthday blogging bash, complete with lots of giveaways. Go on and see what's on offer - you know you want to. Reading the comments over there, its interesting to see people's opinions on such practices of spreading link love when it comes to competitions. Some think it's akin to spamming. You all know that I read Problogger, and that I've been lucky enough to be a guest poster over there on occasion, so when I talk about Darren and what he's offering, I do so as a fan and (dare I say it) some sort of blogging peer. As you are a blogging peer too, I'm sure.
