George – I like Blast from the Past! I’ll look forward to your own posts on the subject!

I like the idea of resurrecting archives. I think I will start a new regular feature, “Blast from the Past”. Thanks for the idea. Feel free to steal the name if you want. I haven’t trademarked it or anything:)

Of course, someone else probably has…

I visit a lot of blogs in a day, but there are only a few I can call home. This is one of them! Keep up the excellent work!

In the next few days I am going to cover an article all about your blog on my blog.

Can you do me a favor and drop me an email that gives me a brief bio about you and your blogging experience. Also if you can include a picture that you would like to share I would appreciate that and also, I wanted to know if I have your permission to take a few screenshots to use from your site as well. In the article I am going to give my readers the opportunity to get to know you more as a person and also discover how your site became a success… the screenshots are to give a visual aid for when I touch on how Perfect your site design is. And quite honestly, I don’t know if I have my blog design down 100% just yet, but the total look and feel of your site is a total inspiration on how I want my site to look. Excellent, Excellent work! I am very impressed! Obviously I am not a copy cat… but I can close my eyes and vision how I want my blog to look like and prior to visiting your site, I had absolutely no visual reference to my vision. This site is the closest to it.

On my blog, I want people to know the following things within the first 30 seconds:

What is the site about?
Who visits here?
What are their opinions about the place?
How Often do other visit/comment and share/contribute?

When I visit your site, I can answer these questions very quickly and I like the answers!

Best Regards,

One, there is no way that each post has the reach to span out to everyone who would benefit from reading the article, and two… sometimes even the people that did read the article, only skimmed over it because they had a baby crying in their hands at the time, or something to that nature! I do quite a bit of reading, and I don’t remember where I heard about this, I am sure you heard this too, but people typically retain only about 25% of what they read. So, by doing a weekly re-bounce of older articles would be a great thing for your site!

Another idea would be to write new articles that extend from an original one… something that touches more on a topic that you just skimmed over in the original and just reference back to the original article with a link included in the new one.

Your site is awesome and I am so glad that I found it… I can’t remember how I found it, if you visited my site and I found your through MyBlogLog or if I found you through another blogger’s site. Either way, I am glad to be here. I love your writing and your site!

Nice job on the list.. I did one to, thanks to George tagging me. I can tell you put a lot of thought into creating your list. I love it when older posts jump out of their graves to live a second life… that is one thing that bothers me about blogging… such excellent content gets buried by new content. After it falls off our front, second and third page, then it falls into the hands of the search engine… which is fine, but still even your most devoted readers can miss stuff that was written months, years ago… I love visiting blogs and digging good stuff up!
