Kristi, this forum is AWESOME and just what was needed. Thanks for posting this. It answers so many questions in one place. Very helpful.

I’ll be sure to redirect people to this forum in the future, as well as in some ongoing forums where this would be helpful.

Thanks again,

Robin Carlisle

well done @kristi-hines

Another fine ‘How To’ post.

@kristi-hines Glad to be part of the club and this forum! I manage social media for @sprecherbrewery, though I need to be much better about the blog. Cheers!

Thank you for starting this group.  For some time I have been thinking about starting a blog and/or a newsletter I think this will help me get off the fence. OK I guess this is supposed to be a place where I introduce myself. This appears to be a very diverse and dynamic group of people. My name is Elizabeth Houser I live in Little Rock, AR with my husband of 30 years John. We relocated to Little Rock in 1996 from Austin, TX with our two young sons, now grown men. Eric 24 lives in Austin, TX Nathan 23 here in Little Rock. I am an independent contractor for Transworld Systems Inc. A 42 year old company without peer in the Revenue Cycle Management Industry. I specialize in helping businesses of all sizes, from small Mom & Pops to large firms with a National presence to get control of their A/R and prosper!! We offer a suite of low cost web based services to be used by our clients a’la carte I customize programs to suit the needs of my clients. Our unique systems allow our clients to fill the gap between their internal invoicing/billing, and having to resort to “hardball” collections that are debilitating for all concerned and destroy the hard won relationships a business owner develops with his clients. I’d love to visit with any of you and provide a free AR analysis of your business to see if my business could be of benefit to you.

Is this allowed?

I read the rules but am not sure about this item.

I run a recipe/article/foodie blog for a non-profit organization.  I’m looking for guest bloggers and would need to post the URL to the blog and a link to what a guest post looks like (this link to the blog of a guest posters article). 

OR I’d like to swap a blog post for a blog post.  All would be free to swap or free to post.  The guest blogger gets a short bio, with one or two links to their own blog and/or website within the same article.

The blog in question has only a 3/10 Google PR (better than 0 – heh) but I wonder if this kind on thing is OK.

I’ve not seen any invitations so far, but don’t really see any rules against it. 

So, is this kind of thing allowed? 

Thanks – Eileen –

I guess maybe the third time will be a charm? 
Could someone, ANYONE, answer my question here:http://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/clubs/blogging/forum/topic/new-to-the-blogging-club-or-have-a-how-to-question-check-here/#post-22446

Hi Kristi,

Long time no talk.  I’m having problems with random code that attaches itself automatically to anything I write.

Like this—>.pinimage_reset {border: 0 none !important;margin: 0 !important;padding: 0 !important;text-align: left;}#pinimage_pinner{background:url(resource://jid0-xaabacbjebkv5me8iesrpgdl66w-at-jetpack/easypinner-for-pinterest/data/32.png) no-repeat;width:32px;height:32px;position:absolute;z-index:99999;display:none;cursor:pointer}#pinimage_overlay{position: fixed;top: 0;right: 0;bottom: 0;left: 0;z-index: 100000;background-color: black;opacity: 0.8;display:none;}.pinimage_slideup{-webkit-transition: top 0.3s ease-out;-moz-transition: top 0.3s ease-out;top: -300px;}.pinimage_modal {position: fixed;left: 50%;z-index: 100001;overflow: auto;width: 652px;height:290;margin: -145px 0 0 -326px !important;background-color: white;border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;-webkit-border-radius: 6px;-moz-border-radius: 6px;border-radius: 6px;-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;-moz-background-clip: padding-box;background-clip: padding-box;}.pinimage_modal-in{top: 50%;}.pinimage_modal-body{margin: 10px !important;}

It’s on the forum.  Look at my post above.  Do you see all those weird codes. starting with pin image? 

It’s there for every post I type.  Or is it my imagination?

.pinimage_reset {border: 0 none !important;margin: 0 !important;padding: 0 !important;text-align: left;}#pinimage_pinner{background:url(resource://jid0-xaabacbjebkv5me8iesrpgdl66w-at-jetpack/easypinner-for-pinterest/data/32.png) no-repeat;width:32px;height:32px;position:absolute;z-index:99999;display:none;cursor:pointer}#pinimage_overlay{position: fixed;top: 0;right: 0;bottom: 0;left: 0;z-index: 100000;background-color: black;opacity: 0.8;display:none;}.pinimage_slideup{-webkit-transition: top 0.3s ease-out;-moz-transition: top 0.3s ease-out;top: -300px;}.pinimage_modal {position: fixed;left: 50%;z-index: 100001;overflow: auto;width: 652px;height:290;margin: -145px 0 0 -326px !important;background-color: white;border: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3) !important;-webkit-border-radius: 6px;-moz-border-radius: 6px;border-radius: 6px;-webkit-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);-moz-box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);box-shadow: 0 3px 7px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);-webkit-background-clip: padding-box;-moz-background-clip: padding-box;background-clip: padding-box;}.pinimage_modal-in{top: 50%;}.pinimage_modal-body{margin: 10px !important;}

thanks.

Hi all – I’m about to launch a blog about job search – resumes, interviews, etc. – and I have a question right off.

I’ve read that you should have at least 5 posts before you “launch” your blog. Does that mean I should’t share or promote any of my posts until I have 5? That doesn’t seem right.

Thanks!

Thea

Hi @lorithueme, I can’t compare Blogger & Wordpress – at least not with current info; a couple years ago I researched it and Wordpress got a lot more votes, but Blogger may have improved. But as for your posts, I’d say you should post a few more ASAP so that people checking out your blog will see more reason to follow it.

Who were you going to have it reviewed by? I haven’t looked into that yet, have no idea… What business are you in? I’m a career coach / resume writer, myself.

Hey there!

Excited to be a part of what looks like a thriving community here! 

I have a dual focus as I already have one blog and I use it as a home base for awareness and advocacy campaigns so I’d love to learn more about marketing it more effectively. 

I also work as web and graphic designer, writer and copy-editor, and virtual assistant, doing just about everything from setting up and maintaining a Wordpress site to helping play with code. I’m working on my professional site and blog so that I can touch on some of these parts of my professional side and know I’ll need help along the way making solid decisions. 

Look forward to connecting with others and learning along the way!Katrina “Kat” Moody

Hi  @kristi-hines I am a member of all 3 clubs but the New Topic button does not show at the top of the Blogging Club. Can you help. Thanks.

@david-easter Do you mind if the developer logs in to your account to see what’s going on? He doesn’t need your password, just wants to get the OK first.

I’m so excited to find this club and can’t wait to network and learn.
