Pushing the Web and WordPress, What I Found, AND What’s Next!

Filed Under Successful Blog | 32 Comments

Something New Means Something New to Learn

It started two years ago, with a tiny idea that had a respectable turnout. Many folks I met at that first Blog-to Show are folks I still see. When we’d been talking about Creative Networking, it seemed natural to brush off the old idea and try it again.

I forgot that things on the web grow exponentially.
And where there’s big growth, there’s bound be big learning.

You’ll find the entire showcase here and a debrief below.

What I’d Hoped and What I Found

The longer I work with social media, the more value the tools as a way offer people a way to connect around something they care about. When you offer what’s fun and useful, the connections naturally follow. I’d hoped that the idea of showcasing our blogs would offer that.

The Blog-to show proved that out more than I expected.

• More people submitted blogs.
• More people cleaned up their blogs for visitors.
• More people visited the show.
• It also took more time and was more fun than I expected.
• More people said “thank you” thank I would have dreamed.

Even reading the submissions made me feel more connected to the folks who participated this weekend. The comments and conversations speak to the generosity of those who came.

People pointed out the best of the blog their viewing. Many testimonials cropped up. We were discussing great blogging. Can’t miss the sense of community and participation.

Taken and Missed Opportunities

Some 30 entries arrived in the first few two hours after I announced the Blog-to Show. From then forward, submissions rolled in faster than I could process them. At one point on Friday, entries arrived a rate of one per minute. When I got home from my Friday meetings, I had a pile over 100 deep, While I worked on that pile, 100 more came in.

Doing so many at once, I saw the varied levels of investment people put into this opportunity to offer this “mini-blog” resume. How well the submission was formatted and finished seemed to show how seriously the blogger thinks about his or her blog and the community that would gather.

• The submission request had five distinct parts chosen to give value to all show visitors. Over 30% of the submissions had missing information.
• Some submissions offered straight sales copy. In the overall picture, those submissions stood out in a way that might not have helped them.
• Some folks don’t do brief. Those who wrote a novel — when the request was a sentence — might have been reflecting their blog writing. I found myself thinking that with so many to choose from I might choose based on the quantity as well as the quality of what submitters wrote
• Some folks didn’t use the requested subject line which meant their email ended up in the wrong place in my email filters.

From a marketing viewpoint, these are all things I’ll remember when I enter the next such submission myself. People remember when you make their life harder and when you make their life a breeze.

What the Technology Did that Surprised Me

I planned the event for Saturday, because traffic is lower the issue of damage if something went awry. Problems occurred with my XML-Sitemap plug-in, the server timings, and published posts that didn’t show up on the front page.

The mystery of the disappearance of posts 163-201 was found later on my dashboard. Though the timestamps clearly showed them published in sequence, somehow they were in reality rescheduled to post at 3 hours, 4 hours, and 5 hours after the rest were done. Great WordPress minds are researching what happened there.

I also stretched the limits of my clipboard to copy and paste — it became a resource suck. Apologies to those who’s links got pasted incorrectly in the process. As far as I know all are well now. Thanks to all who were generous in calling such things to my attention. That’s what community is about.

If you’re wondering, after all were compiled and formatted, it took about 2.5 hours to copy in and timestamp the individual entries.

How It Will Look Next Time — Get Ready!

Enough of you who participated this time (and some folks who just missed getting in) have asked about if there will be a next one. It seems that the opportunity to make something even better won’t let me leave the idea. So, I’m already planning. Here’s where I am so far. Feel free to add ideas in the comments.

The January 2009 Blog-to Show

Dates of the show: January 31 and February 1, 2009
Submissions due no later than: January 15, 2009

Here’s what I think the application will include.
Write up the following information — each part separate by a line space.
Here’s a filled out example.

Bloggers Name(s):

Blog Title:

Blog URL link in the full http:// form:

Blog Tagline (no more than 10 words):

One or two sentences about what makes your blog worth visiting.

A brief paragraph of blogging advice or a short bloggy quote that shows a little personality.

Must enter in only one of these categories
go cart (newbie blogger — less than 6 months)
street car (theme-based design)
formula 1 (custom theme or high mod)

Every entry also must include a .jpeg thumbnail of your front page, no larger than 150px wide or a pix of the blogger.

Any entry without all of the pieces will be returned unsubmitted.

I’m telling you now so that you’ll have time to get ready . . . and I’ll have time to get some more exciting reasons to participate lined up for you.

And maybe next time, it will be something a little more creative . . .

What do you think? What did you see that I didn’t?

1. From Kris Rowlands

Blog Title: Fresh Focus
Blog URL: http:// freshfocus.info/blog
Blog Tagline: …On Productivity!
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Bringing the readers fresh, new, original content that targets GTD, productivity and organization is what I am all about and how I “roll”. Each article is written from a perspective that you might not find in most places: come and see what I’m all about and experience my perspective on things!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
In my opinion, I think it’s really important to listen to the readers, take their advice and implement it. I also feel that it’s necessary to write from your heart, and write original content: I don’t read blogs that are aggregations of others’ feeds, so I wouldn’t expect my readers to do that either.Stop by! I’d love to converse with you!

2. From Elaine B.

Blog Title: House of Luxe
Blog URL: http://houseofluxe.com/
Blog Tagline: This couture designer`s advice on girly, life and trendy
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Don`t let the name fool you. I am an entrepreneur with over 15 years in the graphic design field.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
I design and blog about how to get it together at home, managing your business and how to enrich your life doing what you love. House of Luxe is not just about design, but about the things I love, business and life from my point of view. I believe that if you have a home office, carry yourself like your office is downtown. Always have great etiquette and lead by example.

3-4. From John Carson

Blog Title Make Johnny Cash
Blog URL: http://makejohnnycash.blogspot.com/
Blog Tagline: $2.48 from Google AdWords alone!
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Back in November 2006 I got laid off from my job through no fault of my own. Having worked in the online space, I decided to use those skills to market myself into a new job. I set up a blog to write about my job search, and got coverage in the press and on TV. The exposure was excellent and led to some great freelance gigs. Now, I keep the blog going and cover Web 2.0 content, which is also what I do as a day job now.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Web 2.0 is over — Welcome to Web Who.0! It’s about you.

Blog Title Fine Print
Blog URL: http://blogs.gcigroup.com/fineprint/
Blog Tagline: none
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Fine Print is the official blog of GCI Canada, a PR agency in Toronto that also offers social media marketing as part of its digital practice. All the staff contribute to the blog on a daily basis, and write about their thoughts on the industry, as well as covering such things as Twebinars and joining the conversation with influencers. It has really helped with GCI Canada’s SEO efforts too.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Blog readers want to read your personal insight on a niche subject matter. It’s good to link to other stories, but try and add some commentary of your own too.

5. From Geoffrey Philip

Blog Title Geoffrey Philp’s Blog Spot Blog
Blog URL: http://geoffreyphilp.blogspot.com/
Tagline: “Every blog is telling a story. What’s your story?”
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Jamaican author Geoffrey Philp publishes interviews, fiction, poetry, podcasts, and literary events from the Caribbean and South Florida. And every now and then, he throws in a story with his particular viewpoint about current events.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Forget about blogging, you’re telling the story of your life. Be the hero of your own life.

6. From Ari Herzog

Blog Title Ari Herzog
Blog URL: http://www.ariwriter.com
Blog Tagline: Ari Herzog on politics, society, and culture
What makes the blog worth visiting?
A technology-savvy government administration professional, I write about what I know best. With recent topics on presidential politics, green energy, social media marketing, and fashion divas, I cover it all. Ultimately, the blogosphere who read and comment on my blog help determine my next piece of content. Care to participate?
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
One of my favorite books is “Travels with Charley” by John Steinbeck. It’s a personal memoir about Steinbeck’s U.S. roadtrip with his French poodle, Charley. I continually quote the following passage as it helps explain why I also like to travel on America’s great highways and the world’s scenic byways:
“In Spanish there is a word for which I can’t find a counterword in English. It is the verb vacilar, present participle vacilando. It does not mean vacillating at all. If one is vacilando, he is going somewhere, but does not greatly care whether or not he gets there, although he has direction. Everything in the world must have a design or the human mind rejects it. But in addition, it must have purpose or the human conscience shies away from it.”
Steinbeck wrote about driving and traveling, but it can easily be modified for surfing the super information highway and hyperlinking across World Wide Web sites. Make sure your blog has a design and a purpose, or nobody will reach it.

7. From Debra Dalgleish

Blog Title Contextures Blog
Blog URL: http://blog.contextures.com/
Blog Tagline: Save Time and Money in Business
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Published Monday to Friday, the blog focuses on computer productivity and features tips for Microsoft Office programs. We’re on these computers most of the day, so we should make the best of it!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“To me blog vs. web is like newsstand vs. library. Blog readers want a hot tip or fascinating tidbit, something juicy to chew on, not lug home and study for a week. Readers grab the idea of the day, learning though serendipity. They come to a blog with an open mind, ready to absorb a new idea. They hope to find something provocative or amusing or a helpful tip.”

8-9. From Karin H

Blog Title Kiss2 - The Kiss Business too (2)
Blog URL: http://www.thekissbusiness.co.uk/
Blog Tagline: No More Double Dutch in business
What makes the blog worth visiting?
When in business you encounter good, bad and sometimes wonderful practises, all over the world, to learn from. On the Kiss2 blog I ponder about this, so you can even call it: business ponderings.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Keep It Simple Sweetheart, specially in business

Blog Title 1 plus 1 makes 3
Blog URL: http://blog.1plus1makes3.co.uk/
Blog Tagline: Where combined expertise gives you triple value
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Brand new dynamic interactive website (aka blog) where various experts/expertise from and in various areas will be combined to give you triple value = 1 + 1 = 3
Areas vary from copy-writing, online software, (web)marketing guides and home-studies, practical business building tips and much more. It’s a ‘work in progress’ but stay tuned for more - the ultimate goal is to create the following fact: 2 plus 2 makes 7
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
no matter which marketing tool you want to use to grow your business - make sure it doesn’t turn into ’shelf-development’ instead of business development i.e. implement it! Now!

10. From Mike Vizdos

Blog Title Implementing Scrum
Blog URL: http://www.implementingscrum.com/blog
Blog Tagline: Scrum looks easy; however, use common sense.
What makes the blog worth visiting?
This is a site for geeky people; fun geeky people. That being said, we have some really funny cartoons that can be used outside of Software Development. If you have a Chicken or Pig fetish, I’d stay away (smile)
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Keep it simple and consistent. Focus on content and the rankings will follow. Stay at it. Consistently! THAT is a secret a lot of people forget. Feel free to link to any that you may want to include in your blogs!

A blog which promotes Lotus software and handles competitive discussions with Microsoft and Google, among others.
Occasionally some left field ideas as well, like IBM buying RIM.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Blog because you have your muse and want everyone to fell it too. Started a few other blogs until I found my niche, so can you.
Remember, failure is one more step on the way to success.

12. From Susan Cartier Liebel

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:

13. From Delaney Kirk

Blog Title Ask-Dr-Kirk
Blog URL: www.delaneykirk.com
Blog Tagline: none
What makes the blog worth visiting?
Dr. Delaney Kirk Offers Tips on Taking Back the Classroom and Becoming a More Effective Teacher.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
One of the things I’ve realized is that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Whether it’s advice on teaching or how to blog (or pretty much anything else), there is a community of people on the web to help answer your questions. You just have to reach out.

14. From Romana Mirza

Blog Title Find creativity in the world.
Blog URL: http://www.romanamirza.com

What makes the blog worth visiting?
This blog gets you out of your bubble. It exposes you to other professions, cultures, and work that will inspire a new thought or spark a discussion around an idea or project that’s important to you.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Please have a purpose and a way of categorizing your information. Too many categories make it really hard to navigate and easy to give up on a blog. Having a purpose will help you to organize your content which will make navigating your space more intuitive for us, now that’s nice reading.

15-16. From Jessica Fritsche

Blog Title paper graffiti
Blog URL: http://www.papergraffiti.com
Blog Tagline: none
What makes the blog worth visiting?
On my blog, I write about the humble venture of being a writer, and all the thought processes, tools, tips, tricks, roadblocks and successes that come along with the profession!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“I think the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that there is no police force, Internet or otherwise, that is going to come and smack me around if I miss my goal. The only thing I can do is just keep pushing ahead. I can’t go back to yesterday and meet the goal I set for myself–I just have to meet, and even exceed, the goal that I make for myself TODAY. Beating myself up about missing a writing goal, or not missing a day of blogging, is not going to do anything but make me feel bad about myself.”

This is New Media information for companies that are not in the New Media business but trying to understand it.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
New Media folks will tell you that blogs are about starting conversations. In a perfect world, that’s quite true. But in the B2B space where I work, your blog gives your prospects a view int your thinking process. They may not comment much, but they’ll check out your blog whenever they perform due diligence on your firm.

Blog Tagline: Stories of a Self-published, Entrepreneurial Fiction Author (née Software Guy)
What makes the blog worth visiting?
I believe the biggest draw to being published [by a third-party publisher] has nothing to do with success. Rather, it’s the same draw that makes college freshmen endure cruel and dangerous hazing rituals, and then turn around and subject others to the same torments. (from “Why I Never Want to be Published” http://blog.jtimothyking.com/2008/03/17/why-i-never-want-to-be-published)
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
If you’re a Christian who thinks libertarians are just conservatives who want to do drugs (insert offensively dismissive guffaw here), tune out now. I’m going to upset you, because I’m going to offend your sensibilities, not to mention your prejudices. If you’re a libertarian atheist, what I’m going to say will make you think I’m crazy, because I’m going to talk about how important religion is to my libertarianism. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

My personal journey as a chemist/MBA/artist/writer towards figuring out how to combine many different points of view to create something new.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
It’s okay to stop what’s not working and try a new path. My first blog was easy, but it took five, or maybe six, depending on how you count it, tries to make a second blog that lasted more than three months. It’s amazing how often the same themes will keep popping up until the day you realize, oh, yeah, that’s it, that’s what I meant to be writing about all this time.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
Where else can you discover how to make exercise more fun than sex, spend 12 days watching Cool Whip NOT melt, learn box-bashing marketing strategies, billion-dollar (okay $9) blogging tips and entrepreneurial power plays and see seriously doctored pictures of Jonathan lifting weights with a cast on one leg. It’s the ultimate resource for a life worth living and a business worth building…or at least laughing a lot about!
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
1. Be real – Your own authentic voice is good enough, go with it, develop it, deepen it, revel in it, but…
2. Be valuable – Blog because you’ve got something to say, not because you’re “supposed” to have something to say. If that means you can only add value once a week instead of once a day, so be it. I’d rather read something that flips a switch or engage in a wonderful conversation once a week than suffer empty drivel once a day.
3. Be light – Don’t take yourself too seriously. Blogging’s natural state is fun, it’s us expectation-driven humans that make it otherwise.

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
“The Blogging Curse”!!
Been spending too much time on the laptop…
Internet,
Wordpress,
SEO,
Digg it man!!
Out of control,
out of mind,
I’m hooked…
piddly dial-up connection!
Instead of writing and posting,
I’ve been obsessed!
The right theme,
the perfect widget,
the ideal plugin!
De.licio.us!
Feedburner
and RSS feeds,
not to mention comments.
Engrossed in stats…
How can I attract more readers?
More bots…
than real people,
embarrassing!
Optimisation,
tagging
and stylesheets,
gibberish.
In the meantime…
over 1000 broken links,
posts without excerpts
and tabs playing up in Firefox!
Blogging…
what is it all about really?
The writing,
the playing…
or both?
What purpose does it serve,
whether I have two sidebars
or just one?
Customise that header!!
Google it!
Add that feed!
Check out the forums!
Time…
Full-time…
Where do they find it?
These folks.
As for me,
got to cut back,
find that balance
and get back to blogging!

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
There’s an old story about a professor whose teacup is filled to overflowing. Like this teacup, the Zen master tells him, “you are full of your own opinions and speculations. How can I show you Zen unless you first empty your cup?” Conflict is like the professor’s teacup — full of judgments, diagnoses, opinions, attributions. Nothing can get in until you know how to empty your conflict teacup.

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
I love blogging because it’s cheaper than therapy, easier than scrap-booking and helps me remember the millions of moments, that I would surely forget if I didn’t write them down. My journey has taken me to places I never expected to go. After two years of medical school, I decided that I didn’t want to be a doctor. Instead, I took a job as a high school Science teacher. Then Hubster and I decided to test our genetic luck, and we had a baby. While I was still in the hospital, recovering from the C-section, he got the call for his job as a police officer. Life’s never dull around here.

I recently got a job at a company who is hoping to launch an interactive site, and they want me to spearhead some of the online content and projects, so I began blogging again, in a more meaningful way than I did as a teen.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
My blog is worth visiting because my blog is all about motivation, I have seen several bloggers stop blogging. Most of the time because they loose their motivation, and that can’t happen in my eyes. That’s why I created my blog, to motivate others and to help bloggers feel the energy to blog. This is why my blog is worth visiting.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
My advice is that if you’re a blogger. Don’t give up on blogging unless its for personal, radical reasons. Why am I so extreme as to not letting you stop blogging? Because in my eyes you, the author, have been given a gift. And that is to write. Everybody has it, but you already have a headstart. So don’t stop and believe in yourself. Keep blogging, you won’t regret it.

My favorite blogs are those where the author lets a little bit of his or her personal life show through, while sticking to the topic of the blog. While I would never go into great deal about my private life, I try to make sure that my posts can only have been written by me. We all have personal anecdotes and stories, and when those stories can be integrated into a blog, I find that it makes for a much richer experience for the reader — and for the blogger!

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Remember the value and importance of creating relationships with your fellow bloggers, especially in the comments sections of their blogs. For example, when you leave a comment be real, share your thoughts on their post, drop the selling, and be sure to put your name in the name field - people can relate to you as a person when you have a name.
Get to know them and let them get to know you, see if you click - you never know what may come of it!

It’s also really important to minimize the amount of time spent checking webstats and using social networks, as these can get addicting.

Tweaking the business drivers in your organisation, is like driving a car ­ as you move up through the gears, so you achieve better results at a faster and faster pace and more and more efficiently too.
This type and speed of turnaround is virtually predictable when one or more of the critical business drivers I -Richard C - focus on are implemented specifically and applied relentlessly.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Blogging advice: What gets done quickly seems easy. But then comes “difficult”. And then the next stage – and there’s a huge difference - between things being “difficult”. .. and finally becoming “impossible.” Change the paradigm – focus on the beginning, not the ‘end’. Obviously you keep the ‘end’ in mind, but you focus on ‘one step at a time’ - nothing more.
So focus on the beginning, and on each step along the way. Each individual step, each ‘bite-sized’ chunk, is rarely overwhelming on its own.
And then you will find that ‘almost nothing’ (within reason) is impossible – unless, of course, you choose to make it so.

I love and am obsessed about movies, so much so that my friends call me a walking IMDB. I read a lot of fantasy books and I own more than 500 of them.

Our audience needs to please their investors, job-seekers, journalists, analysts, customers, community, employees, suppliers, resellers … as well as keep the corporate bosses happy and manage their corporate brand. No easy job.
Your audience may not have so many stakeholders as a major corporate, but I bet they have people they want or need to keep happy. Think wider than your immediate readership.

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Some of us go through life believing the world belongs to others, which means that we need to learn the rules of success “they” have defined in order to get a good job, advance in our careers, and be happy in life. To those people we wish the best of luck. There are plenty of organizations ready to help you learn and win by those “rules.”

Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:

Readers encourage me daily and in ways I would never have expected. I think this is the great thing about personal blogging - it allows people to relate to each other.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
I write poetry and stories, post pictures and links to my novel. But what I live as a multiple personality is the truth that abuse is always wrong.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
Blogging should be for yourself whether it is for fun, business or advocacy. Write about topics you feel strongly about and are interesting to you. Trying to attract an audience by writing what you think they want to hear will not be successful in the long-term. If you have a passion, then show it and people will come to visit. Unless you intend to write about a single genre, then publish a wide variety of posts about items that are important in your life.

What makes the blog worth visiting?
Welcome to my blog; my name is Rose Dewy Knickers. I’m a real woman who’s a multiple personality in a man’s body. Through my words I wonder why and how I came to be. The more I learn, the more I realize that the world is not meant for people like me; the ones who are different. Do I care? Not one bit. So flash your knickers here and leave a comment. Maybe even join the Fresh Knickers Club. What’s that you say? It’s vulgar? This blog is for anyone who believes in freedom of expression and fights for the rights of those who aren’t allowed to ‘flash their knickers’. Write it and post it, that’s what I do. Soon you can read my first book.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
I’ve always written for pleasure with my blog, no matter the content. For me writing of course is the sole means of communication and one that gives me great pleasure. There is no topic or word I avoid, I prefer life in the raw although I realize there are many taboos in all cultures. Yet the words still endure, the phrases and cliches that represent something beyond letters. With diligent practice writing becomes something more, something tangible that communicates emotions and experiences of others.

In the last 2 months, I have been documenting my adventures in the United States on my blog.
Blogging advice or a short bloggy quote:
I would say that the most important thing that I have learned from blogging is not only to NOT write the wrong stuff at the wrong time, but to learn to maintain my own blog (upgrading and all other housekeeping chores) because these are matters that you don’t want to rely on other bloggers all the time. But of course, I’d also say that being friendly with the not-so-popular bloggers won’t hurt a bit, especially if you’re popular (sometimes popular bloggers intimidate me).
