I have to confess – I have so many blog titles written down, just waiting to be expanded upon. And some of them are needing to be done now! I didn’t do any blog writing this evening. I spend my time reading yours.
I had over 200 posts in my Google Reader from my blog subscriptions, and I needed to get caught up with that. I also found many new blogs and bloggers that shared some great information on their blogs. And on top of that, I’ve been out in my Google Friend Connect communities finding people that have like interests to me, people that i would love to have on my GFC friends list, and gmail contact list – So I’ve been sending out many friend requests as well.
Was it a wasted evening that I didn’t get any blogging done?
Absolutely Not!!!
This is such an important activity for any blogger to do. Showing support to your readers, and just following blogs that you are interested in. Taking part in active discussions through the comment sections of their blogs…
By spending the evening doing being socialable I hope to have accomplished a few things:
- Of course – making new friends.
- Getting some back links to my blog and specific posts if they pertained to what I was commenting on.
- Getting my blog (AHWH) name out in the blogosphere, and hopefully leading to new readers and visitors.
- Keeping up with what is going on in the industry.
- Just plain having fun.
Here are a couple things that I came across that I’d like to share with you:
New ProBlogger Forum - Darren Rowse has put together a forum where bloggers can go to help each other, ask questions and share advise, and showcase their work. It’s a member site, but he’s only charging $1.95/month (crazy huh?) When you get there, add me (wahmbuddy) as a friend!
WonderfulWebWomen – This is another great find. Helping and
Wonderful Web Women
mentoring women who want to work online. They all work together to share ideas. Check out the free 13 page Affiliate Handbook they offer just for signing up.
Okay – That’s it for me for the night. It’s been a blast, but I can hardly keep my eyes open as I writie this, LOL
I hope you enjoyed your evening as well…
And as always…
Hope it helps,
Heather
