Comments on: Three Years Of Blogging And What I’ve Learned Along The Way http://www.baileyworkplay.com/2007/09/three-years-of-blogging-and-what-ive-learned-along-the-way/ Rethinking Customer Experience & Marketing Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:56:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris Bailey http://www.baileyworkplay.com/2007/09/three-years-of-blogging-and-what-ive-learned-along-the-way/comment-page-1/#comment-578 Chris Bailey Wed, 10 Oct 2007 23:48:17 +0000 http://baileyworkplay.com/2007/09/08/three-years-of-blogging-and-what-ive-learned-along-the-way/#comment-578 Hi Dave, a big 'thanks' right back at you for stopping by. I'll admit that I had a big smile on my face as I read how you ended up staying longer than expected. That's great! Hope you come around again soon. And I really like the improvements to the Shelfari widget design...even the fact that I can create/save/edit all my widgets in one spot. Very cool. Now the only problem I'm having (and I'll submit a help request for it) is that the widgets don't work in either of my sidebars here. I even tried in the sidebar of my sandbox site thinking it might be the template design I'm using here. However, they do work if I use the widget code in a standard page content area. Perhaps there's something in the script that drives it? Anyway, appreciate you coming by. I've become a big fan of Shelfari since starting to use the site a few months ago. Keep up the great work and let me know if there's anything I can do to help y'all out. Hi Dave, a big ‘thanks’ right back at you for stopping by.

Your lessons are very insightful. At any rate, we just launched a new blog widget at www.shelfari.com/widget. Try it out and let me know what you think. --Dave from Shelfari I came here to say thanks for mentioning Shelfari, but ended up staying longer than expected. Your lessons are very insightful.

Your words mean more than you know. And I'm glad my experiences have impacted you. I think it may be my mission in life to live by this phrase: Chris Bailey...he'll do stupid things so you don't have to :) It's a catchy tagline, huh? Howdy Deb, thanks so much for that.

I learned much through the mistakes you openly shared. You can never go wrong when you keep it authentic. Thanks for being a blogger I admire and respect. And keep on blogging!

There are times when I'm not sure if folks appreciate my drivel, either. There's not a good feedback loop - at least with my blog. I tend to gauge feedback by number of comments and the problem is that I don't get nearly enough to satisfy my sense of whether this blog is more than me just publishing my thoughts. I put a rating system for each entry, but it only works if you visit the site...not if you read from an RSS reader. So how exactly do figure out if what we write matters? I don't know...I'm open to suggestions. From one blogger to another, keep the faith. If what we write is meaningful, hopefully it'll catch fire for someone. Be well. Keiron, I totally understand.

I seem to get more comments and readers these days, I'm not sure if that's because people are interested in what I write or because I allow dofollow links and there is something in it for them?! My blog varies from being my comment on today's news, to a programming snippet, a chat about the rugby, a deep and meaningful about the web, or quite simply a link to something I've seen. It has no clear direction I guess, and I've never known if people really appreciate my drivel! Hi Chris,
