Alex, thank you. Sometimes simple and easy is best… plus I don’t want to make assumptions about what others are reading. I know my commenters probably read these blogs already, but I doubt a lot of my readers do. That one is always a bit of a conundrum.

Joanna, you weren't being lazy. You simply chose not to re-invent the wheel. If good information already exists out there, why waste time and energy redoing it? Alex Fayle | Someday Syndromes last blog post..Get rid of your somedays: personalized help now available

Oh thank you Karen, but I suspect I was being slightly lazy in my creativity with this one! Really just looking for a way into the blogging / community issue, and they really are great links.

PS I’m always learning from you too

Hi Joanna! LOL! Clever way to do 34 things! I was all prepared for a list and had to laugh when I got to the end. Such wonderful advice and you have pointed to three masters in social media. I have read many of their posts several times and keep returning as I still have so much to learn. Although, I must say I do the same with your posts! There is a wealth of information here.

David glad you found them useful – I think there’s a lot of good stuff in there that will help to get you going in the right direction.

Wilson I thought so too – and really didn’t see how I could add to them!

Gennaro I guess I didn’t expect it either – and it’s certainly the part that pulls you, as well as the reader in. I hope the posts coming up add something to the mix… as you’ll see from this post I don’t want to just rehash old ground. Trying to add value to my community

Martin hello. Yes, I’m a great fan of community blogs and feel proud to see this site developing as one. I do think it’s worth thinking through your reasons why though… hence my post tomorrow on some reasons not to have a community blog.

I also agree there are many different dimensions to it… and fascinated to see that your site is devoted to exploring just that. Going to head over and explore just now.
