Friday Roundup Week 3

Sean Platt - best writer on the net?

I think it’s time to give up on this whole writing thing. Why? Well I’ve gone and found the best writer on the net and to be frank the rest of us need not bother. Still, if we were to continue I guess we could try to emulate Sean’s God given natural talent for writing.

We’d have to begin by doing something totally alien to him, proofreading. Here’s 14 Foolproof Proofreading Tips to get started.

You would then need to learn How to Write 50 Articles a Day

Moving on, with tongue removed from my cheek, a great discussion has bloomed over on the Men With Pens site regarding James’ Twitterranting. And if Twitter isn’t your thing, we’ve hijacked the thread to discuss the use of mobile phones while driving :)

Finally as an apology for my poor jokes – and not to mention it’s a darn good product – go buy Sean’s [edit: (and Eric's)] new book The Blogopolis Blueprint if you’re quick you may still be able to catch the “pre-launch discounted price”. You’ll get great advice like 5 Reasons Why Starting a Blog is Like Buying a House, 10 Not So Common Tips For Starting a Blog and Common Questions of The One Month Old Blogger.

As usual I end with my own personal review of my week. While there’s no hiding the fact that the blog is still lacking in design (and structure), behind the scenes things are still moving in a positive direction. Having said that who knows how many of my 3 readers would have been potential clients if the blog was a bit more polished. So by Monday evening this blog will have its makeover and will be presented in all it’s pristine glory.

@ Eric – I thought I recognized that guy… For some odd reason, his picture reminded me of housework. Huh.

LOL, when I first read the “how to write 50 articles in a day”, I thought now what bone-headed person would claim to be able to do this?….then I realized it was satire in the style I love…

@James: It’s bad enough that he gets the big square, but he’s got me scrubbing it down for him after every shoot.

@Marc: Much appreciated, Marc. It’s not a huge deal, I just want to make sure that when the blog and book are mentioned, I see my name somewhere in the mix. Eric

Hi Marc! This is like the nicest post ever. Thanks for all your support. I really appreciate it. Please don’t hesitate if you have any questions at all. Also, extra thanks for playing along with my SEO reindeer games. That’s really awesome.

Have a great weekend, Marc.

@Eric: Understandable. I’ve just had a quick look at the bookmarks page you created for the Blueprint – very impressive! Though you’ve misspelt resources :)

@Sean: No problem. I figured my 0.000000001 Page Rank might be of help!
