About 2 weeks ago, I followed John Chow to MyBlogLog and set up a profile and community for my blog. Since then my community has slowly but steadily grown as people find my blog and add themselves to my community.
I have also added myself to several communities that I have found here. I have tried to be sensible about adding communities as I don’t want to just add to every community that I find. I do try to check all of them for new posts at least once a day. I figured if I wasn’t interested enough in what the author had to say on a regular basis, then there was no point in joining. There may be some blogs that I will subscribe to the RSS feeds if they are interesting, but post irregularly, like I do.
It does annoy me a bit when some people just post links to their blog in everyones comments. I figure that if someone is interested enough to check my details out then they will look at my blog and make there own decision, but I suppose this doesn’t provide lots of links for the search engines to index.
Anyway, welcome to anyone who has found me from MyBlogLog. Please read any of my posts that may be of interest and leave me comments.

Sounds like we are following the same path, although you’ve been in the blogging world longer than me, but I beat you in the real world, hands down. I love mybloglog, although I don’t have it myself, just love checking out the others who are visitors to the same site as me.

Hi jmb,
That gives you the advantage of a broader range of experiances that you can blog about. I think one of the best parts of joining an online community and having a larger audience is the feedback that you get. It takes away the feeling of talking to the void.

You got a goodly number added to your contacts,etc. I have some really strange ones who just came by. I bet they left in a hurry.
I can’t believe that I’ve been able to keep the ideas coming. I guess you have to look at your life in a different way, take a litte facet and try to make it interesting somehow. Waiting anxiously for your book meme, I’m fanatic about networking on the subject of what people are reading.

Hi Ian,
I found you through MyBlogLog & JMB.
I added you to my blogroll, which means you will get an occasional visit and comment 🙂
Regards,
Vijay.
Hi jmb,
Yes, I have found when I check out some of the communities that some people have similar interests and so when I check them out, they do the same in reverse. I always check out anyone who has read my profile and join their community if I am interested in following their posts. I will usually add them as a contact if I’m interested in what they are saying. This means that other members of the community see me and have a look.
I didn’t get time last night for the book post, I’ll try tonight.
Hi scan man,
Thanks for the comments and link.
I’ll do another post in a few days about the sites that I have found through MyBlogLog and link to you both in there.
Regards,
Ian
