Problogger’s Writing Project - My Summary Links
Posted in Business / Friends / Geek / General by CujoJuly 30th, 2006 - 10:30 PM
As part of the Problogger Group Writing Project you had to read through the posts which not only gave you exposure to other blogs but also to their thoughts/ideas on what they’d change. I learned more in this reading process than in my first year of blogging. Below you’ll find my “top reads” and it just so happened to be 10 links. I didn’t plan that but that is what happened. Under that you’ll find a “listed” section and those are sites that had me listed on their blogs — it’s kind of gratifying knowing that something I wrote helped someone else out.
If you want to check out my original post on this topic you can view it here: Kill Fifty Birds with One Stone.
Top Reads (for me):
There is only one thing I would have changed - by Eric
This made the list as I think I agree with his “start earlier” idea. I’m also an entrepreneur and the site seems to be geared toward “us types”.
My wabisabi blog - by ricemutt
Solid advice for anyone starting up or already running, best words in the blog “Thereââ?¬â?¢s no such thing as a perfect blog, even to its owners.”
3 changes I would make and 3 I would not - by Joe
I like this one moreso for his advice on what he wouldn’t change, there’s solid advice in there for people looking at creating inbound links.
I’m not a Problogger but… - by Andrew
I included this one as like me he’s not a problogger and for this revelation in his post “I had the vague and mistaken impression that blogs didnââ?¬â?¢t carry worthwhile content” especially after the work I’ve been doing with blogelation and another project in the works.
Blogging to Infinity and Beyond - by Ken
In my early readings he had one of the best pieces of advice “blogging should be fun”.
Gee, That’s a Funny Domain Name - by Ella
Unlike me liking my “funny domain name” Ella takes a different approach. I know when I tell people about this domain they get confused and ask questions but I also think it has that “remembering” factor.
Wanted: DeLorean - If I had to start my blog over again - by Leon
He probably has one of the better Blogger templates I’ve seen but he also shares the thought of “I wish I found ProBlogger sooner”.
Three Months of Getting Rich Slowly - by J.D. Roth
I share in most of what he says and I’m currently attempting to follow that route with a new blog I’m working on (it seems it’s always in the “working” on stage now but it’ll be up soon).
12 things I would do if I had to start my blog over again - by JohnTP
A solid 12 step program for blogging or starting to blog or to stop drinking, okay maybe it’s not that 12 step program.
Would I care if I made $0.00 - by Adnan
I laughed when I read his “I’d check Adsense all day long” part of his post. When I first installed Adsense I was checking it every hour or so seeing if people were clicking on my ads. I know better now. I check it weekly now and usually see no change and that’s expected with the “aim” of this site. The ads are there more as an experiment than anything else. However, I do check those stats often — I’m an addict what can I say.

No problem Joe. They are quite fun. Time consuming with a lot more reading but fun anyway, it’s the first time I participated by I really liked it.

Anywho, congrats on doing so well! I’m looking forward to Darren’s next project ââ?¬â? hope to see all of you in the running next round.
