I took a look around and saw what I believe is a real world wide crisis of mismanagement and I've had the misfortune (now to become my fortune) of working for some of the worst bosses ever. I launched my blog Really Bad Boss in March of this year. We define a boss as anyone who has authority over anything and is doing it really badly. By that definition, no one's off limits. I have a long way to go, but I've been encouraged by my articles being picked up by the Huffington Post and regularly (through Blogburst) by the Chicago Sun Times and Fox News.

I do not have a technical background at all, but I am determined to make this work. I'm so grateful for this open source blogging society and people like Yaro and theme and plugin developers who give out such valuable information and products FOR FREE! In what other industry does this ever happen? I've made a promise that as soon as I start bringing in income (I have none now :(), I'll donate to the many individuals that make my and other blogs possible.

I've got tons of work ahead of me, but I'm really encouraged by the blogging community. Regardless of how long it takes before my site is a success, these 16 hour days in front of the computer beat the possibility of going back to work for another really bad boss anyday. ]]> Introduce Your Blog DeniseDear http://www.blogtrafficschool.com/forums/introduce-your-blog/7083-laid-off-can-t-imagine-going-back-work-another-really-bad-boss.html http://www.blogtrafficschool.com/forums/blogging-chat/7082-idea-blog.html Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:19:28 GMT Hi Everyone,
I am a seasoned writer and can blog about anything. Do you think there is a need for a blog about how I can help bloggers with their writing resistance or blocks as well as editing for conciseness and exciting phraseology? It would be great fun for me, and I would not expect to make much $ with it, since I really enjoy editing. BTW my blog is Jewelry Facts, Fancies, Fallacies, & FUN!

I have been working online since 1995 as an early days email publisher, and since 2000 as an affiliate network owner. We have over 11,000 affiliates in our cpa network, Adreporting.com. I'm in the business of motivating and training affiliates. I need to understand blogging

I joined blog mastermind just today, July 03, 2009, in the hopes of finding the guiding light for my interest in blog creation. I launched FollowMyStartups.com approximately 1 month ago, with the intention of starting real online businesses, exposing the full details of the how and the why, and building a following of new entrepreneurs (sp note my forte) looking for a jump start.

In the long run, my blog will serve as a good training resource for new affiliates coming into our cpa network, needing to understand the basics of affiliate marketing.

Whew. I'm also a father of 2, married and a volunteer fireman which often consumes hours of each day.

I like to work, love to play.

March this year I started iLove Trance Music as my first blog and gained a few readers. I'm looking at kicking my butt into gear for writing new content regular as that I feel has been my main downfall...or not motivating myself for better words.

I wanted to introduce myself... Ricky Powell of i-choose-happiness.com. I launched my website with SBI over two years ago and have not yet monetized it. I have a full time career and have worked on the site in my spare time, but now I really want to launch it in a big way.

I was very impressed with Yaro's program, so I am giving it a try. I want to revamp my site, but can't decide whether I should just add a blog to the current site, or replace it entirely with just a blog.

I plan on creating my own content as well as probably promoting a few affiliate programs. I would also like to begin my own affiliate program as well.

I just started a blog on my site, but realize now, that I need to replace it with wordpress.org. I just have to figure out how to do that!

I would appreciate any words of wisdom or comments on the site from anyone who is interested in giving feedback.

Thanks so much, and I'm happy to be here! ]]> What Is Your Business?

I’m learning heaps. Thanks! Yaro, I just had a quick question I’m hoping you can shed some light on regarding WP blogs.... Do you know if there is a WordPress plugin that allows you to add a short description directly under each ‘Category’ title heading on a WP blog? I’d also like to add a short description to the main archive category page too. For example i have 10 different categories and rather than just featuring the individual blog posts under each category, what I’d like to do is first give viewers and introduction to the category with a short description followed underneath with each of the blog posts that fit in that category. Hope this makes sense. :-) Is this something that can be done? Look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Tone Hello Yaro,

What if I wanted to make a blog about love and making relationships successful?

:( I've been struggling for MONTHS to figure out my topic. I keep coming back to this one. Personally, I've only had one relationship in my entire life, but it started almost 3 years ago and still going strong and awesome (so I DO know a couple things about making a relationship grow and last) ;) Plus, I am studying to be a marriage counselor, so eventually I'll even be licensed to give out advice on relationships.

But still, it worries me, would anyone look into a blog with such a .. well, emotional/abstract/but important topic?

So after several months of me questioning him and him playing free poker online, we managed to come up with sports writing. he did this while in college and loved it but never though of it as a career since his aim was to be a coach.

So for our anniversary I established him a blog which he has written well over 250 post regarding all sorts of sports: his love is football.

We introduce this blog as Bryan's great passion. He is devoted and has been working on pillar post such as who has the best conference and great players from Mississippi; our home state.

I am not a newbie to blogging however, over the last week I decided to take a little stroll through google for any updated info on best ping services and just how many to add in the back end of wordpress.

The result! More confusion! When I first started blogging I came across the rule of thumb less is best and no more than 5 services. However on my latest search I have found posts where 65 - 75 ping services are listed! Spam crosses one's mind with this.

Then I headed over to Yaro's blog as he is very successful with his blog and shares knowledge, a search of his blog did not give me the answers.

So here i sit at the forum :)

Does anyone or Yaro yourself please, have advice or willing to share what are the best ping services to use, how many we should be using etc.

I have uploaded the maxblogping.

Thank you, one very frustrated aussie!!
