Any chance of getting mine added to this list Gerry? It's www.romancingforthrills.wordpress.com

I don't have a blog, but if I did, it would probably look something like this:

http://thewitchettygrub.blogspot.com/

*cough*

A new updated list will be needed soon, and Kasubi's would cerainly be added (if only it existed) *sneeze*

And, of course, Stephy's.

I think there's one for Kalzor as well mentioned on a blog.

Any more - before the next final list?

Great stuff Gerry! When you do the updated list, can you put mine down as:

Good reminder, TGL - shall do!

Right, well I'm starting my long-overdue blog crawl now. Can't expect other people to visit me if I don't support them first eh? There's 22 unique names on this list (including the two from the comments) - if we all do it, we'll each get 22 new comments! That's more than some pro bloggers get. Well, maybe.

Done! Blog crawl achieved, at great length! Now thanks to you lot and your ridiculously prolific writings, my fingertips are sore before I even start writing! Maybe I should learn to type with more than two of them, spread the load like.

It was lovely to have you drop by.

Tony - you have an awesome blog, you globe trotter you.


Anybody have a FaceBook page? I find it's rather useful for informing people to 'go buy' ;) Recommend it providing you split your personal and professional profiles.

Kasubi: There's quite a few of us on Facebook. Tell me more about splitting personal and professional profiles. (I guess mine is entriely personal.)

I'm on Facebook - find me easiest thru my email address: falconts1@aol.com

Hi Gerry - it's nothing technical, it's just about how you present yourself in different arenas. For instance, my consultancy business, my author's website, and my FB profile are all under my real name. With FB, I have my personal profile, where I chat to all of my friends, and my FB Page, which I administer in a much more professional way with very little personal input.

I got stung several years ago whilst doing aid work in a not-so media friendly country and someone used my blog without permission and out of context to make some rather ridiculous political statements. They tracked down my name and took my photo from another site - all of which was terrifying at the time. It was a cold lesson in personal PR management because, once it's out there, there's nothing you can do about it. Since then I keep a very strict distance between my professional and personal life.

On a far more day-to-day issue, I've seen some publishers who have Twitter accounts and they do absolutely nothing for the promotion of their business. Mostly it's because they are tweeting as individuals on a company site, when a company site is about professional image, rather than what you had for dinner last night or how your latest contract is progressing.

It's just that sort of thing really. As a writer - or any other self-employed personage - you are your own brand. When working under your given name, it can become difficult to separate those things, but it's worth trying. Not everybody who reads what you write is a friend. Without being paranoid, something that seems insignificant now may suddenly become significant later. It's about damage limitation.

There's a bit more about my blog incident on the Oh Lord! thread.

Oooh only just came across this!

Hope I'm not too late. My blog is;

erebushorror@wordpress.com

(Currently under maintenance due to lack of content - something which I'm trying had to rectify)

Eek Erebus, I've just posted the latest (final) version at 'Yet Another Updated List of Clouder Blogs'. Maybe there'll be lots more Cloudies asking to squeeze in, so I don't know how final it is. On the other hand, I suspect Harry is thinking of something along these lines, so I dare say you'll be accommodated one way or the other (possibly by the time you have some good content).

Oooh,

add me please Gerry, www.mightyjock.co.uk (Blog is the front page but lots of other stuff going on there soon too ;-) it's a bit of a shell still, but should be done in the next few days.

;-)

great effort on the list by the way!!! I'll be linking to all those who are happy for me to do so!

Just saw your latest blog, Gerry.

Don't worry about adding mine as i'm sure you must be sick of doing it. I'll send it out in as many ways as poss and catch the next 'upgrade' to the list

Hope you're well

Jock ;-)

Cheers Jock, I'll be clicking on yours soon. (In fact, let's do it now!)
