I was hoping that my post may help. I suppose the instructions were a little hard to follow although you did write another post explaining things in more simple terms. Some bloggers would not want to write a post about a competition because it would not fit into their niche and they do not want to stray outside. Perhaps you could consider giving varying number of entries in a comp depending on what a person does to help. e.g. a digg, stumble, bookmark = 1 entry, a post 5 entries ..... I have seen these sort of entry conditions a fair bit. I am very pleased to win a prize, although I would have preferred more competition for it for your sake. 2008-05-29T23:07:10.889+02:00 2008-05-29T23:07:10.889+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1408734&comment_id=26852495 Sueblimely Yes I am interested too. I am keen to see Twitter used to enhance blog conversations rather than be separate. This is an example of advertising a blogging event by a twitter event. Has Twitter shown results for you with regards to your writing project do you think? 2008-05-28T13:07:57.891+02:00 2008-05-28T13:07:57.891+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1405567&comment_id=26852462 Sueblimely I am not happy to get any unsolicited email on principle. If I do subscribe to newsletter then it is because I am interested so always happy then - especially if advertising a sale item or bargain - but then I am the sort who will spend on something just because it is a real bargain and it pleases me to save money even if in reality I am spending on something I would not have otherwise bought. :-) 2008-05-28T12:55:44.650+02:00 2008-05-28T12:55:44.650+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1408734&comment_id=26847330 Sueblimely I was thinking more of viral blog posts not viral tweets. Posts that have been popular and become known via backlinks, stumbles, diggs etc. Even a meme that has been passed around a lot. I plan to be there for the tweetathon - I am interesting in seeing how they are done. 2008-05-28T05:08:27.524+02:00 2008-05-28T05:08:27.524+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1408652&comment_id=26847131 Sueblimely Hi Suzie I love this idea and will help where ever I possibly can. :-) 2008-05-28T02:32:51.964+02:00 2008-05-28T02:32:51.964+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1406114&comment_id=26847059 Sueblimely To find someone on Entrecard you can click on the E in their blog's Entrecard ad, next to or above the Drop Button, and it takes you to their profile. 2008-05-28T01:45:26.171+02:00 2008-05-28T01:45:26.171+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1406114&comment_id=26847054 Sueblimely I should have added that another good thing about Twitter is being silly :-) I agree though there is silly as in funny and silly as in inane on there. I do not want to know what someone had for breakfast. 2008-05-28T01:42:43.939+02:00 2008-05-28T01:42:43.939+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1406114&comment_id=26847047 Sueblimely I am really getting into the swing of things with Twitter now and enjoying having some more direct contact with people I know through blogging. I am finding it an excellent source of news and good posts too - often it is a reminder for me to check out a blog if I am slow reading my RSS feeds. Twitter is the reason I found out about the next topic I am going to blog about too. I always found Lawrence hard going. I liked Hardy when young and later became a Jane Austen fan - still love her books. My partner does not know how I could have liked Hardy because books are so depressing. I look forward to catching up with you on Twitter when you are less busy. Please contact me if you need any help with it. 2008-05-28T01:39:26.164+02:00 2008-05-28T01:39:26.164+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1406114&comment_id=26825916 Sueblimely Apologies,carocat. I have now given you two links to make up for it :smile: 2008-05-26T10:17:39.349+02:00 2008-05-26T10:17:39.349+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1405567&comment_id=26819011 Sueblimely Despite being on a no call list I still get unsolicited marketing phone calls regularly. Being tired of the interruptions of this invasion of privacy the same feelings have transferred to email and snail mail too. I am overloaded with email as it is - work, personal, from social networking sites and spam. I have unsubscribed from most newsletters. I delete unsolicited mail without reading and if my inbox gets too full subscribed newsletters are deleted unread too. I now rely much more on RSS for information and try to keep my inbox as clear as possible. 2008-05-25T20:58:14.330+02:00 2008-05-25T20:58:14.330+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1401678&comment_id=26781322 Manage subscriptions The video is working OK for me. There is talk of the linux/Ubuntu problem here http://code.google.com/p/readair/issues/detail?id=2 It may be worth following the thread in case a solution is found. 2008-05-23T02:36:20.943+02:00 2008-05-23T02:36:20.943+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1401678&comment_id=26781102 Manage subscriptions Thanks Trish - This needs a few more features adding to make it a complete solution but I believe the are working on those. 2008-05-23T01:40:21.351+02:00 2008-05-23T01:40:21.351+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1401366&comment_id=26768618 Sueblimely I am setting a reminder for myself to come back here in 2030 - if I am still around in this world that is. Suppose I can could come back and haunt the blog if not. Just think we could chat via ouija board rather than twitter. In fact a lot of twits (what is the correct name for one who tweets?) will be social networking via ouija board by then. 2008-05-22T06:35:01.569+02:00 2008-05-22T06:35:01.569+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1395104&comment_id=26681787 Manage subscriptions You are stronger willed than I am Bettina - I could not help taking a look at Twitter and now I am actually starting to use it too. 2008-05-18T04:43:33.315+02:00 2008-05-18T04:43:33.315+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1395104&comment_id=26681784 Manage subscriptions I like your idea of ten minutes of cleaning and cooking and then taking a blog break, Colin :smile: (quoting one of Colin's tweets there in case anyone was wondering) 2008-05-18T04:42:10.469+02:00 2008-05-18T04:42:10.469+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1395104&comment_id=26681774 Manage subscriptions Apologies if my suggestions have been adding to your workload, Trish. :shock: 2008-05-18T04:38:42.450+02:00 2008-05-18T04:38:42.450+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1395104&comment_id=26680663 Sueblimely I do join a lot of social networking sites - otherwise I would not be able to write about them on here :smile: I also know about overloading myself and that I have to put a reign on things from time to time before it does become stressful. 2008-05-18T01:47:59.537+02:00 2008-05-18T01:47:59.537+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1394797&comment_id=26658787 Sueblimely I prefer to scroll rather than click on "more" and wait for another pageload for newer entries, so I publish full posts. I use excerpts for archives as I am more likely to want to skim archives rather than read all posts. That is my own individual browsing style though - finger always poised on the scroll wheel. :) 2008-05-16T23:40:03.235+02:00 2008-05-16T23:40:03.235+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1390479&comment_id=26632149 Sueblimely Although maybe too much for what we currently expect to satisfy simple blogging needs, because of what the current platforms offer us, I think the availability of simple to use extra CMS features can enhance a blog, giving more flexibility to suit the subject matter and originality. Although the designs vary blogs are very much clones of each other in regards to included features. Currently too many plugins and tweaks are needed to create CMS functionality in current blogging platforms and the current CMS platforms are complicated to set up and use. 2008-05-15T23:56:40.105+02:00 2008-05-15T23:56:40.105+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1386090&comment_id=26553875 Manage subscriptions And I am about to take a gander at your new blog theme :lol: 2008-05-12T20:45:17.618+02:00 2008-05-12T20:45:17.618+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1386090&comment_id=26553869 Manage subscriptions Welcome Shirley, it is good to have friendly comments from e-card visitors. 2008-05-12T20:44:28.472+02:00 2008-05-12T20:44:28.472+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1386090&comment_id=26553866 Manage subscriptions I did not get mine into the million blog list until around the 600 mark but backlinks are always handy to have :lol: 2008-05-12T20:43:07.564+02:00 2008-05-12T20:43:07.564+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1386090&comment_id=26522108 Sueblimely The site uses nofollow so will not be useful for Google ranking purposes! 2008-05-11T11:09:38.761+02:00 2008-05-11T11:09:38.761+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1385684&comment_id=26480872 Sueblimely I use many of the methods and tools mentioned here to manage information and try to save time. I can set my priorities but I find it so hard sticking to them. I get so easily sidetracked. Although I may set aside a time to check emails it is not just a matter of reading, most of them require some sort of action - people have sent me a message/added a link/sent me a shout that sends me off to the social networking sites to write replies or read a post. I invariably head off elsewhere to read more. My other priorities get put aside until the last minute. I need to be more disciplined and be able to stop myself going off at a tangent or realize what I am doing and get back on track quickly. Any suggestions as how to do this would be very gratefully received. 2008-05-09T20:28:15.737+02:00 2008-05-09T20:28:15.737+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1380402&comment_id=26396576 Sueblimely Thanks too Kim. Yes you did it right :-) 2008-05-06T19:59:12.532+02:00 2008-05-06T19:59:12.532+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1380402&comment_id=26396561 Sueblimely@her KeywordLuv post Yes Lightening, your name is part of your brand so maybe it is not so useful for you. Mine is too but this gives me the chance to use Sue rather than Sueblimely as Sueblimely is mentioned in the blog title - or in this case use something completely different :-) 2008-05-06T19:56:59.847+02:00 2008-05-06T19:56:59.847+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1380402&comment_id=26396409 Sueblimely Hi Trish If you look above your comment you will see that your name and blog title are listed rather than just your name. You still get the link love as the blog title is linked to your blog. When blogspot first changed its comment form and there was no option to put in a nickname and blog url I too suggested you put your link in the comments. This is not necessary any more as you can enter your nickname and blog address again. CommentLuv is the plugin that adds and links to your last blog post title - as shown at the end of your comments here. 2008-05-06T19:51:15.142+02:00 2008-05-06T19:51:15.142+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1376465&comment_id=26375024 Sueblimely Thanks for letting me know Genevieve - this is the sort of 'spammy' comment I want :razz: 2008-05-06T00:26:36.477+02:00 2008-05-06T00:26:36.477+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1380032&comment_id=26373754 Sueblimely I do not think it is a problem at all having your name as well as blog title linked in the case of incompatibilities. I am off to install the plugin myself now but wanted to try your 'reply to' feature which is nifty too. 2008-05-06T00:03:33.311+02:00 2008-05-06T00:03:33.311+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1364117&comment_id=25858225 Sueblimely Hi Kathie There are two files that you need to copy back from your backups key3.db and signons2.txt. There is an extension that will do a backup of passwords - Password Exporter: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2848 The Google browser sync add-in I mention above can also be configured to sync passwords. I had all sorts of trouble restoring Thunderbird after my mistaken reformat and my windows backup files did not work. It was a nightmare trying to put all the mail and address files back together again. 2008-04-27T12:25:52.300+02:00 2008-04-27T12:25:52.300+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1361768&comment_id=25814766 Sueblimely I will be interested in following your posts this weekend. 2008-04-25T23:07:56.505+02:00 2008-04-25T23:07:56.505+02:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1319709&comment_id=25047587 Sueblimely Thanks Kim - it would have been better if I had not had computer problems. I am trying to recreate all my email still. If you have time could you drop me an email so I can add you to my address book again please. I saw your photos of Sheila. You and her looked good together :grin: 2008-03-26T22:57:25.203+01:00 2008-03-26T22:57:25.203+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1319640&comment_id=25047512 Sueblimely There are so many tools we can use for blogging and its peripheral activities we have to make sure they are of real use although I can't resist at least trying new things. 2008-03-26T22:10:20.156+01:00 2008-03-26T22:10:20.156+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1319636&comment_id=25047505 Sueblimely Thanks Stephen, glad someone does not think me bananas for including it :grin: 2008-03-26T22:04:52.552+01:00 2008-03-26T22:04:52.552+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1260498&comment_id=24328613 author I would enjoy having a play with (test) this theme. I did spend a bit of time trying to merge grids and sandbox myself so am familiar with both. I use the basic sandbox theme on my blog which I have yet to finish styling to my liking. I am experienced with HTML and CSS and have played around with Wordpress themes a bit but only know a little PHP. 2008-02-21T05:27:54.125+01:00 2008-02-21T05:27:54.125+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1260112&comment_id=24305545 Sueblimely I think the StumbleUpon feature is great. Not only do I receive pages that contacts wish me to stumble but those they think I will just be interested in. This for me makes it much more social. I have only come across one person that does tend to try and take advantage of it but is only mildly 'spammy' Rather than have a send to all feature it would be handy to be able to send to perhaps 5-10 at once. I find there is a small group of my friends I will send to pages far more frequently than others. I would like to be able to access history of SU shouts sent by the FF toolbar. At times I get return comments which mean nothing because I cannot remember the original comment made. 2008-02-20T05:50:26.828+01:00 2008-02-20T05:50:26.828+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1194096&comment_id=23292269 Sueblimely Thanks Deborah, I wondered how this was done. It is a shame they can't 'draw' rain clouds :-) 2008-01-18T20:27:50.395+01:00 2008-01-18T20:27:50.395+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1188385&comment_id=23136873 Sueblimely Thanks for letting us know about the teleclass, Suzie, sounds interesting. 2008-01-15T23:23:44.570+01:00 2008-01-15T23:23:44.570+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1151703&comment_id=22646694 Sueblimely Change in jobs, careers and even the country I call home never came hard for me. This is maybe because I was always searching for something I felt missing in my life. The break up of my 20 year relationship/marriage was far from easy. Subsequent to this came the changes I had always needed - in relationship, career and lifestyle. Life took control of me - if I had tried to stay in charge I would not have reached the happy state I find myself in now. The biggest change because of all this has been in my attitude to life. 2007-12-18T16:58:21.514+01:00 2007-12-18T16:58:21.514+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1144076&comment_id=22538041 Sueblimely Hi Colin Thank you, that is lovely and I am very pleased to be your friend :-) I thought of you today but decided it would be more friendly not to dob you in for a meme again :-) 2007-12-12T16:57:53.030+01:00 2007-12-12T16:57:53.030+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=Sueblimely&conv=1139589&comment_id=22491662 Anonymous I use Wordpress on my own domain and have delegated my OpenID to this so that I can use my blog address as my OpenID.
