Hey Sarah -- below was an answer on MY blog, then it dawned on me you'd NEVER see it now!  So here it is on YOUR page.

------------------------------
ONLY a year and something later (by the dates below!), I noted your question, Sarah (sorry!) 

It's a fuzzy concept, generally takes a bit of explaining --but let me give it a shot here with the time I have right now.

An "acknowledgement" is what I frame as "noticing out loud."  

An "endorsement" is closer to a compliment, but not in the "meant to flatter" sense of the word (there's "voting" going on, i.e, you like it, but it is more charge-neutral than something that is more opinion-relatedwithout an overt signifier  "What a pretty dress." vs. "I think your dress is pretty.").  

When you added "I admire" to your acknowledgement, it became an endorsement (but not a compliment)

Hope that makes it a BIT clearer than mud!

xx,

Thank you for the lovely welcome, Sarah! I look forward to participating in many aspects of this site. I was delighted to discover this community! Knowing how many of us have ADD/ADHD, I should have known there'd be a great place like this for us to share and learn.

Thanks Sarah, I see that you are the welcome wagon for the website! I am interested in learning all that I can about how to manage my ADHD in the workplace. That seems to be my biggest problem right now. Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Thank you Sarah for your message welcoming me to the group! I am just now starting to explore the site. I wrote a kind of introduction in the general discussion section in the forums. I start school (community college) again in August and this time want to try and get some sort of help before it's too late...so I am seeking all the advice I can get and am starting to really read up on the site. Thank you again for welcoming me to the group. Made me feel a bit better about posting. :)

Thank you Sarah, I have finally accepted that this is a life changer & my husband doesn't need to hear EVERY CRAZY THOUGHT! I look forward to moving in that direction with support, acceptance and understanding :)

Thanks, Sarah. I hope to be able to both learn and contribute. Though so far I don't feel like I have ever learned how to overcome any part of this ADHD. :)
