We Know A Lot About Blogging . . .
ME Liz Strauss wrote this at 6:15 pm
. . . And Here’s the Wrap-up
This week on Tuesday Open Comments Night we talked about the use of blogs in the classroom, blogging mistakes that were doozies, blogging about books, podcasts, giving away ideas and solving problems, when to move forward with a secondary website or blog, introducing folks to blogging for business, redesigning blogs, publishing books, business and blogging goals for 2007, business books, making money from a blog, people who comment on blogs — or don’t, favorite blog platforms, links to your blog, blog carnivals, memes, migrating to another platform, hosting services, domains and vendors, writing books, MP3 laws, and spam.
There was also conversation about the new year, chauffeuring kids, weather challenges, poetry, health issues, food and drink, studying languages, and a duck.
Here’s some of the links we shared.
- Working at Home on the Internet
- Tiberius Publications
- 10 Reasons Readers Don’t Leave Comments
- The Viral Garden: Z-List
- Essential Keystrokes: Road Map for the New Year
- Help Desk Notes
- The Wired Home Weblog
- Designers Who Blog: Bombing Bankok
- Poynter Online
Thanks for the cool links and for being part of the conversation. I wish I could quote you all, but I know you have an idea of how much time it takes to make that long link summary happen each week. I hate to let it go, but I thought you’d understand.
So, for 2007, we’ll just tell the story and share the links that you bring.
After all, how DO YOU explain Open Comment Night, if you’ve never experienced it?
See you next? I sure hope so.

This Tuesday was a wonderful open comment night. Thanks to everyone for participating, and to Sandy for putting these fine links together for us all to remember the night.

That’s good that you’re not quoting everybody .. people can just read that thing for themselves! Besides, it’s embarrassing occassionally logging onto Technorati to see which splogs are pirating my links that day – and all I see are links from Successful-blog
I did get a lot of MyBlogLog adds yesterday

Hi Phil!
Thanks for the comment and for being there on Tuesday. You were a big part of making the night such a successful one!
ME Strauss said
Thanks HART!
It was incredibly labor instensive and really I just couldn’t maintain it. But you’re right. I should have given it up a long time ago.
People can read it. It is right there!
Glad you got MyBlogLogged.

Hi Liz, thank you for a nice evening last night

Cheers!
ME Strauss said
Oh My! Jessica! That was you!!???
You know, dear Jessica, it’s always wonderful having you around here. You make us think at the same time you make us smile.
Carolyn Manning said
Liz, there must be a great thought process going around, because I was just thinking the same. Entirely too much work to do every week. You have enough work and you’re doing it well.

I’m sorry I missed Open Mic.
There was a lot of good information and fun.
ME Strauss said
Hi Rick!
We missed you. You know that!
I think it’s great that you got family time and a real holiday. . . The comments are recorded whenever you want them. And there’s always Tuesday and Tuesday and Tuesday again.
Rick Cockrum said
Happy post New Year, Liz!
By Tuesday family time was over, though there was a lot of that over the holidays. As you can see by the link to my comment, it was work time with my New Year’s Day present (but good work time!).
