This blogging thing is a strange beast, how it works, what makes it interesting and well, why?
Can you imagine if print publications like the New York Times, Washington Post, L.A. Times and the Tampa Tribune had to put something on their front page encouraging readers to buy a copy of a competitor’s newspaper in order to increase readership?
That’s the way it is in this oddball sector of cyberspace we call blogging. As a regular reader of blogs, one discovers that when they visit a “good” blog site, they can also be directed to other sites where they can find what they want.
Aside from regular readers to a website like mine, the most of the people who visit here do so after conducting a search. The keyword here is search. In reality a blogger not only has to provide good content, they must also become a resource and as such that resource must be as good a quality as the blog itself. Whether you like this notion or not as a blogger, it’s a part of the formula for success.
Having said all of this, I have to decide on a regular basis who I add to my “blogroll” as a quality resource link. I can’t put up everyone who asks and so I have to limit my list for obvious and not so obvious reason.
I have some new additions who I would like to draw your attention to. I first hooked up with Adam Monacelli at “Fish Head” of the Courier Post Online.
From then on I discovered new friends and one old friend. If you visit Fish Head, you’ll discover an array of other bloggers and among them is my good old friend J.R. Absher.
Additional members of the cast of authors at Fish Head are Doug Skinner, Captain Jim Freda and Kevin Callahan.
So, do yourself a huge favor and travel over to Fish Head and meet the crew there and tell them I sent you.
