How to add your blog for free - Barbara Ling "Success is an Attitude" Forums

lingstar · #1 (**permalink**) 06-16-2008, 08:08 AM

Do you write a blog, and want to have your blog snippets reposted for free?

It's simple to do! The Barbara Ling "Success Is An Attitude" Forums are meant to be the gathering place of all supremely insightful blogs for all sorts of interesting topics. People are welcome to post their industry how-to questions as well!

To add your blog, just drop me (lingstar) a PM. I'll check it out, and if it fits our community, add it to our categories. It's that simple

Remember! If you request to have your blog promoted here, please make certain to ensure the RSS feed sends us only a snippet, so people will click to your blog and visit your site when they want to read more.

Some restrictions apply, of course. I will NOT accept:

Adult Sites
Hate Sites
Anything that could hurt children
etc.

blogs. Use your common sense.

Enjoy,

Barbara

Yes. Please check out my blog at Confessions of a Network Administrator and include it if possible. It is a WordPress blog but unfortunately it is maintained by my ISP, and appears as a completely hidden site when viewed via an FTP client.

There are a lot of restrictions on running the blog this away, including limited themes, poor control of RSS, etc. If I could ever figure out how to install WordPress on the site and control it myself, I am sure it would be better.
I know this is sad, coming from a network engineer, but servers and routers make much more sense to me then blog software and websites. Go figure

Guess that's part of being old.

Trust me, when it gets more irritating than itches you cannot scratch, you'll make the move.

Just added your blog yesterday - thanks for the suggestion!

To tomecole: "Guess that's part of being old." NEVER call yourself, or think of yourself, as "old". We don't want any self-fulfilling prophecies like that.

Barbara, I'd like you to consider my blog at BlissPlan.com. It definitely fits in with the theme of your success forum. It's kind of sad, actually ... I was doing my keyword research for promoting my blog but there is so little traffic for anything like bliss, happiness, joy. Even using the thesaurus, I still can't find keyword traffic for 'bliss' or any of its synonyms. Yet, we know that's what people crave the most in their lives. Guess they don't believe they can have that kind of joy.

I forgot to comment - I added your blog the day after you asked. Thanks for stopping by!

Hi!

I checked it out - alas, your Feed doesn't seem to work. You'll see that http://www.lowcarbtv.net/low-carb-articles/feed/ returns a 404 Not Found.

Let me know when that's resolved, and I'll check it out again!
