A Second Helping of Wisdom from the Net
October 10, 2008
This is my second week of daily blogging, and boy, was it a doosey! The blogging community has been absolutely amazing this week. I have laughed, cried, stayed up late at night pondering the words of other writers, and spit coffee all over my beautiful Apple. Just in case you chased a white rabbit down a hole this week, or need a succinct recap, here is my take on the highlights of this past week.
“It is hard, and it is scary, but those things in life with the biggest payoff are often the ones that either hurt the most or take the most blind faith.” Writer Dad http://writerdad.com/blogging/scads-of-ads-not-here/
“I failed to realize that content is the soul of a blog. Learn from my mistakes and avoid it in your progression as a blogger.” Wei Liang http://abloggerblog.com/2008/10/lesson-10-quality-content/
“Humour and humility both recognise the foolishness of pretending to be something we are not. They both know that every person is a fallible, messed-up, beautiful human being – and that this is the reason to sing, dance and smile in celebration of being alive.” David~ http://beplayful.org/aspects-of-playfulness-humble-humour/
“Can we schedule in time for a nap or time for tea or time for meditation?” Wendi Kelly http://lifeslittleinspirations.com/my-dog-missed-the-memo
“My children will one day comb through my archives; I write for them.” Writer Dad http://writerdad.com/blogging/seo-i-dont-think-so/
“Discipline is having the time and guts to cut down what you’re saying so your readers don’t have to claw at your hair, trying to see what is going on inside your mind.” Matthew Dryden http://www.matthewdryden.ca/2008/10/09/dont-even-bother-click-that-button-again/
“Blogs that just repeat information already published elsewhere are providing value that can be substituted. To put it another way, these sites are completely dispensable.” Dosh Dosh http://www.doshdosh.com/future-of-content-in-the-age-of-information-overload/
“Progress, it seems, is overrated.” Brett Legree http://6weeks.ca/2008/10/06/for-sale-one-dishwasher/
“Article rewriters will help you quickly change preexisting articles into brand new stories that have the same meaning, but are now re-written with a new style! As more and more people begin to publish on the Internet, the only way to get decent search ranks is by consistently adding unique content to your sites. Who has that kind of free time anymore? If only someone could do something, so I would not have to work so hard. We have heard your lamentable cries for help and in a furious rage of empathy with this laziness; our articles rewriter has created the ultimate tool to help.” From the website Bad Article http://www.badarticle.com/
“What if I say something stupid and you end up jumping off a bridge?”
“The level of stupidity only relies on where the bridge is located.” I offhandedly replied. Mathew Dryden http://www.matthewdryden.ca/2008/10/10/245/
“Pretty much anyone above the age of 17 is not free, and most of the people under 17 aren’t either. You are bound and tied.
There are the usual suspects. Kids, for example, never go away. You’re committed to them for life. Spouses are hard to get rid of. You’re not quite so committed to them — you can stop being married any time — but divorce ain’t exactly something you do between your manicure and your lunch date.” Naomi Dunford http://ittybiz.com/emotional-marketing-freedom/
“In our family, we use this word for hello, farewell, I’m sorry, and, you are absolutely correct. The actual, loose translation, going back to Sanskrit, is “I respect the divine in you, which is also the divine in me.” Namasté = Ethereal aloha.” Sean Platt http://writerdad.com/blogging/namaste/
“I wake each morning with purpose… to teach and to learn.” Daisy http://namasdaisy.com/
