Reasoned Audacity Moves Into Year Four
March 1, 2008 | By Jack Yoest
Charmaine and Your Business Blogger celebrated the third birthday of our blog in February. We are honored by your visits and comments and links.
Friends used to ask us why we web-logged (before it was popular and accepted by normal people).
Our reasons were/are practical:
Charmaine, Your Business Blogger
Penta-Posse at the Grand Canyon
Easter 20051. Catastrophe. A secure remote web-based storage for our articles and pictures. Everyone should have favorite family photos stored on a server in addition to an album. Store Christmas pictures (the kids grow up so fast). So the only thing you need to take with you out of a burning house are the kids. All of them...
2. Clients. All small businesses need a blog. To communicate with customers and to cultivate a network of friends and referrals. Cheap marketing. Don't miss the next exciting management seminar!
3. Kids. What would Dad do? No, no, they don't ask that now -- this is for when we are gone. Search the blog, Penta-Posse. (Parents get smarter as children age.) Our biggest fear now-a-days is an electromagnetic pulse bomb (EMP) set off by terrorists as Frank Gaffney et al describes in War Footing that would wipe out our 2,000 posts. EMP a-coming if Oboma Obama elected.
4. Criticism. An honest critique and feedback is often helpful. The blogosphere is chock-o-block of Court Jesters and watch dogs.
5. Recruiting. Charmaine has found the best talent on the planet from Evangelical Outpost and TruePravda. And a pastor.
Charmaine observes that I learned my truncated style of writing while in the Army. Short sentences.
Short paragraphs.
As Don Suber instructs. Perfect for blogging.
Blogging has introduced us to bullies and saints.
Blogging has Charmaine getting the body count in London on 7.7, getting close to George Clooney and an occasional free movie.
Recent denial of service attacks have been a challenge to our web gurus who are distracted by (paying) clients. In-kind bartering has a down side -- comments are down. Please email us.
Thank you Alert Readers all. We are in your debt...
Thank you (foot)notes:
If you didn't bookmark this saint, do it now. Everybody wants to help Save The Earth, but nobody wants to help Mom do the dishes.
