Last week I ran across a little something on the internet called the 7 link challenge, for bloggers. You must post 7 links to posts on your blog given different prompts. I decided to participate. Here goes:

1. Your first post. To get the blog off to a start, I wrote a post called 10 reasons to start diving now, for those on the fence about getting certified, or those who are certified and have just been sitting on their bums.
2. A post you enjoyed writing the most. This is a tough one, since it’s obviously subjective. I really enjoyed writing about BCD overpressure relief valves. The article is the physics behind something you never think about, and I like physics.
3. A post which had a great discussion. This one is also hard to say, because so far there hasn’t been a lot of discussion on The Diving Blog (something I hope to change in the future!). One article that got some links and generated a mild ripple of discussion is good underwater photography: a key ingredient. This article talks about how you have to be a good diver before you can be a good underwater photographer.
4. A post on someone else’s blog that you wish you had written. Nothing immediately pops to mind, but this huge four part post on diving the Florida keys provides a lot of value, so I wish I had written it. Basically anything definitive that thoroughly covers a topic makes me jealous.
5. A post with a title that you are proud of. I wrote a post about dive etiquette called don’t make me wait. Not particularly clever or anything, but a little more forceful than most post titles here.
6. A post that you wish more people had read. I find the information in why do we feel the urge to breath? fascinating. That post probably gets a moderate amount of traffic, but it’s not in the top 10 or anything.
7. Your most visited post ever. This one’s easy, just look to the right at the Popular Posts widget. The most popular post was what makes something sink or float?, about what determines buoyancy. This has recently been overtaken by my post on emergency assistance plans. I am not surprised, because when this blog was just a tiny spark in my brain, I was doing my rescue diver course and looked on the internet for information about assistance plans, to no avail. Apparently there a lot of people out there doing the same.

I hope you enjoyed this little rundown of posts from The Diving Blog. I’d like your input, can you answer any of these questions about posts from The Diving Blog?
