It’s a nice notion – that there’s no A-list – but of course there is. And everyone who isn’t on the A-list knows it. There’s even a widget out there to tell you what list you’re on! Some A-listers may say, “there’s no A-list” to avoid coming off as elitist, and the sentiment is appreciated, […]

More Lessons Learned Snuck In After The Deadline
Well, wouldn’t you know it … I extended the deadline on the group writing project where we ask the question, “What Did You Learn in 2006?” and a few more people responded! Very cool. I’ve already made a $305 donation to charity, but with these additional posts I’ll be making an extra donation soon. Lorna […]
PayPerPost Buys Pieces of Performancing.com
PayPerPost knows how to stay in the headlines. Aside from the raging debate over paid content and what that means to blogging, etc. they’ve now purchased select assets from Performancing.com. I’ve frequented Performancing for some time, reading their content, signing up for their ad network. Their site is a great resource for bloggers, but I […]
Webmasters and Blogging Carnival at SirLook.com
If you’re going to participate in blog carnivals (and I recommend that you do) you really should promote them as well. Not to benefit your specific post, but to help promote the carnival that it’s published in. Carnivals take a lot of work. I know because I run one at Startup Spark called The Carnival […]
Prepare To Be Inspired – What Did You Learn In 2006?
Yesterday I wondered if the last batch of submissions to the group writing project might be the last ones, but I was wrong. A few more people came through with their own lessons learned, and special props go to Shawn Hessinger of bootstrapme.com for writing 10 posts! Shawn alone raised $50 with his posts, which […]

Time for another set of 5 posts by some great bloggers who’ve answered the question, “What did I learn this year?” Thanks to these 5 submissions, $25 will be going to charity. We’re at $250 so far!

Submissions To The Group Writing Project Continue
With a couple of days remaining on the group writing project I’ve still got quite a few submissions to publicize. My original goal was 50 submissions for a total of $300. Including my own posts (I believe I’ve written 3 or 4 for the project) we’re now at $210. Not bad! We’re getting there! Feel […]
How Do You Measure Success?
There are some obvious measures of success: fame fortune power groupies And I certainly wouldn’t throw a stick at any of those, but there’s more to success than that. When it comes to blogging, some will say “success in blogging is tied to your influence.” Influence is a form of power. And although there’s no […]
