Hidee-Ho Community CopyHeads.

It has been in the back of my mind that since some of us
have blogs here, and we have all chosen to be in the same
community corral, why are we not commenting on each others
blogs?

I have read all your entries and some are very good and some
are great. I read them Not by clicking on the copywriting
.com homepage but from the backend. Why didn't I comment?
I dunno'. I DO always comment on Miguel's blog.

I will from now on comment on all blog entries by all members.
I will also go back and re-read everyone else's entries and
comment on those.

Has anyone here read my blog entries?
If so, did any entries make you want to jump off a bridge?
I hope not but who knows, there are not enough comments
to know if anyone is taking to heart anything written there
or even pointing out typos.

We are all grown up Cowboys and Cowgirls here so how about
helping each other out with a comment or two? It would be nice to
circle our wagons and even invite the outside world to join us
around our community fire.

If this is too sappy an idea, ignore it. But IF we are a community
of friends, let's help each other out, just a tad. It is not painful and
just might benefit us all.

I hereby open all the flaps on my wagon and invite you all in.
Have a cup of joe.
Have a beer or glass of wine.
But most all - Have a good time.

Sunday Blessings.

Verb

I'm in once I get my blog up again! You don't seem to have had many replies though -- what's up with these folks, do they not want comments!?

Hiya Wildhoney.

I have no clue and one of the oddest things I find is that more people do not
have a blog here and keep it current. I have a hard time keeping mine current,
so I guess I should not try to make that point. lol

Scheduling is a key factor in keeping a blog fresh and up to date and mine (schedule)
isfull most of the time. I take little breaks to come in here and to post at my
Ryze network but other than that, I am working. Of course business networking
should be considered as part of a normal work day and scheduled as such.

The problem with scheduling networking is that it is spontaneous and not
something you can put your finger on. Then one day you figure out you are
spending way too much time networking instead of working. Kind of a two
edged sword. Off subject, sorry.

Since Copywriting.com is considered a hub in google it really is a premiere place
to have a blog. I get quite a lot of traffic from this website to my website and
more and more calls too.

I think Miguel and the Powers that BE should consider opening up the comments
to folks outside the community. Thinking on that there would have to be an
agreement of sorts that you peruse the comments and keep the spam out.
I have a new Blogger Buddy group at yahoo where we are discussing this very
thing. I know StumbleUpon does this well but they are still working out bugs.
We are still in the beginning stages of how to handle reading and commenting
at each others blogs at Blog-Buds.

With all the members here you would think there would be a lot more comments
since our blogs rotate on the home page. I don't try to be slick or controversial
at my blog here but do try to impart some points of interest that skirt copywriting.
Miguel has copywriting covered uh, pretty well, eh?

I also receive Jack Forde's Copywriters Roundtable ezine and have for years. If he
had a place for a blog I would probably jump on that too. He discusses a lot of
marketing issues (as Miguel does) and his up to date news is affordable as it is
FREE. I look forward to his ezine arriving in my inbox. Am I off subject again?
Crap on a stick.

OH yes, blog comments. "Shirley" the folks here are not shy? And since you
can use the comments for link backs, I cannot imagine why there are not more
comments myself. ???

I have been thinking about taking Miguel's course here to see if there is anything I
don't already know as far as new trends in copywriting. I have a sneaking feeling
that there is plenty to be had behind closed doors. You know? Plus, I have spent
so much time with web site development in the past few (or ten) years that I feel
like I am somehow out of the loop.

I can't seem to stay on topic so I am Shutting UP.

Verb

Sounds fun. My blog is www.blogboutit.com and could use some comments and look forward to seeing others blogs, so post the link so I can check out what you have to say!
