Thank you for catching that mistake. No excuses, I simply typed that in a hurry, as I do with too many of my blog posts, and failed to proofread it carefully. Sorry about that!

But, as always, I welcome feedback on anything I writer here, or on comments anyone makes here.
Does anything look odd about this sentence? … anything I WRITER …

I was looking for ideas about writing hooks, but that stopped me short. If readers are to trust your expertise, little overlooked errors such as this, are a bit offputting. I don’t mean this criticism in a hurtful way. I see that the post is very old, so it no longer matters, but I tend to be mouthy about such things. Thanks.

Well written article. Most of us would find following your advice somewhat tedious but it would be very worthwhile. I am currently trying to improve my own rankings on Alexa and I think this article is a great help in that respect. Thanks for the advice.

Hah, tell that to Stephen King.

Comment on Some thoughts about fictionalizing real-life public figures by Audiefan

Wish Mr Hunter if he was going to use Audie Murphy as a basis for a thinly disguised character would have a least go the facts about him correct. Audie never drank except for an occasional wine with dinner. Hopefully people reading his book will bother to check the real facts on Audie’s life. He was and still is a true hero to many people,especially his web site http://www.audiemurphy.com. Please check it out and see the truth about him. I am a lifelong fan of Audie Murphy and you will find many other passionate fans there as well from all over the world. He was truly America’s greatest WW11 soldier and one hell of a real American hero.

Comment on If you use EzineArticles.com, be sure you know rules by j davis

Ezine is not worth the trouble. Their heavy handed ‘editors’ and ridiculous keyword rules make for bland watered down articles. I avoid them if at all possible. There are many better ways to publish articles.

Okay, so now I actually know someone with two eye colors — besides an Australian Shepherd pup we had when I was a teenager. Thanks for the comment.

Comment on Setting up an affiliate marketing site? What do you want to market? by Joey

As one who has tried, and miserably failed, at the “mall” sites scenario; going niche is the only way for me. In some instances, “micro-niche”. Lots easier to keep up with a few items from just a few merchants, than 100 items from 100 merchants. Especially, when coupons are involved.

He would have looked cool with one blue eye and one black eye though. I have one green eye and one brown eye and I’m not part Australian Shepherd just for your information.

Being a blogger is like being in charge of your own personal insane asylum.
