I Love My Blog

I really dig when my students say, "I Love My Blog!" Thankfully, it happens more often than not. It means when they find a Baby Blog mess, they won’t be throwing the baby out into the blog waters. Those who don’t "love" their blog (or at least the effort), probably aren’t going to last long at the blogging wheel.

I really love MY blog. Today, its role as a personal assistant and thought librarian was evident. For some reason, I lost all the links in my Firefox Bookmarks toolbar. Not a problem, since I posted about those earlier this year, I just went and grabbed the post Surf Smarter with These Buttons. I use these buttons multiple times throughout a day, so I’m glad for the quick fix (I Love You, Blog!)

Sure, sometimes my blog and I get argumentative with each other. And there are times when we’ve had to do some makeshift blogging. But the inclusion of my calendar last year has saved me countless hours and emails. A few folks have told me they’ve checked my RSS feed on their mobile just before calling me (nice!).

Now, back to work on that Glossary and Table of Contents I promised my blog for Christmas.

So, we’ve seen "Why I Blog" posts — but lemme ask ya this — Why Do You Love Your Blog? And while I love comments…your response should go on your site. Give it the love it deserves.

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    At some level it acts as a repository for your information, as well as your life stream.
    When writing a book it’s very helpful to go back and look what you’ve written in the past on your blog.

    Mike, I’m with Dan on this one. It really is a repository of thoughts, many of which I can’t–for the life of me–recall after 5 minutes.
    I guess it’s like a personal “Surf Smarter With These” for the maturing brain :-)

    Why comments count

    It’s okay, this isn’t going to be another blog about blogging, whether that’s how we handle blog tags or why I wish all blog owners would reply to their comments. Nor am I going to try and analyse the responses

    Mike:
    I love your blog too, thank you very much:D And how we shall get the chance to meet face to face some time in the not too distant future. As for my blog, I love it when people feel comfortable there to share of themselves, which many do to my gratitude and appreciation.
    It is also a way I can have to document how my thinking evolves over time, which it has.

    Right On, Mike! To blog is to create. Although you seem to have centralized your process better than I. I still carry 2 sketchbooks, a palm pilot and my laptop… EVERYWHERE I GO!.
    Some day, I’ll streamline.
    Thanks for the continuing conversations…
    Keep Cooking!

    Mike,
    I too use my own blog as a resource (“Hmmm…I know I posted that link earlier…)
    And blogging is about creating – better writing, better networks – and – dare I say it? – a better world.
    Happy Holidays! Hope to see you live and in person sometime soon!
