In fact I'll have to look into a few of her suggestions. I too like your new posts. Especially your "war stories". <BR/>I tried Blog Explosion and didn't like it. Wasted a lot of time reading blogs I didn't like, same ones over and over in interest of marketing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13054205963916941320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-37263806109836874722007-04-24T12:10:00.000-04:002007-04-24T12:10:00.000-04:00i know, it took me DAYS to get that stuff...if you...i know, it took me DAYS to get that stuff...if you want help just email me (on my website) <BR/>the last thing, not to overwhelm you, is keywords..when you go to technorati look up keywords first, <BR/><A HREF="http://inventory.overture.com" REL="nofollow">here</A> and whatever words you use make sure you use them in your labels (at the end of your posts). I think this is the best thing to do...so far since I have done that I'm noticing people finding my blog based more on keyword searches than anything else.<BR/><BR/>chicklets were challenging for me too...but there are blog help sites that tell you how to do anything. just takes time and tenacity.phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-44915289074212109542007-04-24T11:06:00.000-04:002007-04-24T11:06:00.000-04:00i'd love to just copy and paste this post onto my ...i'd love to just copy and paste this post onto my own blog. i go back and forth with the same stuff so i totally relate. thanks for voicing it. <BR/>and yes, i will write about the sweat lodge. right now i'm still processing it. it's hard to put something like that into words....m.m.crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02766156345359910160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29487945.post-6124102136784212312007-04-24T09:43:00.000-04:002007-04-24T09:43:00.000-04:00I will try those suggestions.

I have had 3 stat counters at once and they all show different stats.<BR/>I know you are probably joking about getting more visitors, but I have always wanted to suggest a few things then didn't cuz I thought you didn't care or it was too much of a bother. <BR/><BR/>1) get an RSS feed button (those orange chickelts you see on sites)and maybe add one or two chicklets that allow people to add your feed quickly and easily.<BR/><BR/>2) join technorati, put in keywords for your site and add their chicklet to your site..once you have done that and written a post find the 'ping us' button and ping them. (once is enough, they'll get you automatically after awhile)<BR/><BR/>3) join another blog directory like blog explosion or blogflux<BR/><BR/>4) REAL IMPORTANT...get a google account if you dont have one, go to google and type in 'ping google' and the very first one that shows up click. you need to submit your blog just once to them and it helps A LOT.<BR/><BR/>4) do the same for Yahoo.<BR/><BR/>and you already do the sunday scribblings...I just realized how many people find blogs through those things.<BR/><BR/>anyhow...it was also interesting to note the changes your blog has had. in the beginning when you weren't 'found' I noticed your writing was different than after you got more 'popular'. It feels lately that you've come back and your writing is more tight again.<BR/>sorry for the long post....phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10669096127325145722noreply@blogger.com
