We have not spoken for a while, just thought I would add my support. Blogging isn’t easy that is why so many have dropped out over the years.

I have read blogs and commented on blogs for a while, but only recently set up a blog. This post is quiet entlightening for a novice like me and awaiting the dramas, spam and commitment discipline with trepidation!

Cheers

Joel,

I don’t have the discipline that you do but I can certainly relate.

5 great points. I’m in the same boat. I started blogging 3 years ago which is about the same time that I got into seo. Since then I have had family health problems and the recent loss of my parents. Compound that with that fact I had unscrupulous business partners who would rather smoke pot than take care of their clients. (Not kidding on this one!)

Now with a new company, I still find it difficult to blog. However, I still recognize and stress the benefits of blogging for business. Setting up blogs for each of my clients have helped their sites achieve first page rankings quickly. An achievment that I enjoy.

With being back in graduate again, I am trying to get back in the saddle with blogging on my personal website writing mostly about psychological topics since these types of topics have become more personal to me in recent times.

Well said, Joel. I was just sploged for the first time the other day and I feel completely bamboozled. I have no idea what to do about it, or if I can even do anything about it. Someone call the EFF!

> but the ongoing pressure to create content still looms like a dark cloud.

If it makes you feel better, everyone really benefits from bloggers like you.

I’m a believer that a blog posts are only interesting when they provide insight. That is where the hard work comes from. ;-)

There is a reason people like your blog.

Cleveland should be used to losing to Pittsburgh by now. The Browns have not beat the Steelers in what….. the past 10-11 games?

Go Steelers!!!!
