* Catch Up

I just noticed another month has flown by!
As we hit August in a few days I was reminded that my regular meet up is due next Monday!

So there’s a bit about that below.

In terms of catching up – I don’t know what happened to the last week or even the month being honest…lol

I know I’ve learnt a lot more techy stuff cos I’ve had to for some new niche sites.
I’ve also impressed myself by helping a few readers with their techy challenges.

I’ve added more plugins to my blog too – Which should be showing now …hehe
(try adding a comment to see) ;)

Most of those were due to something one of my readers has set up… A blog commenting challenge to help all who partake!
For more on that I’ll link you thorough to Jacinta’s blog

http://creatingmybusinessonline.com/the-100-blog-comment-challenge/

Like I said in the subject – there is nothing to buy!
Just a fantastic idea Jacinta had (in one of her ‘bimbo moments’ as she calls them)…..

But a few of us have already jumped onto it (cos we realize how helpful it will be in getting our sites ranked well and getting more free traffic!)
Check it out and see if you want to join in :)

In other (sad news) – Rachel’s Nanna passed away last week and we attended the funeral yesterday. As funerals go it was a lovely service (Humanist – that was different but seemed very acceptable to all in attendance). It was also my first time meeting a large part of Rachel’s family, I wish the circumstances could have been different, as Rachel had said for a while that she wanted to take me up to meet her Nanna.
(This only goes to highlight again the importance of getting life’s priorities right! and not putting important things off for the sake of ‘work’!!)

Back on the no sales links subject quickly….

I was smiling to myself all week ….
Why – because I said last week I had seen too many launches and promos and hence I wasn’t going to be promoting most of them!
This week I’ve seen at least FIVE other good marketers saying the same thing (laugh out loud).

Well even if I’m too small to get credited for it, at least I know I was right to say so…hehe
Anyway – if you’re desperate to find something to click on – You can always pop by my blog and read some of the older posts ;)

Meanwhile – IF you live in the UK (Up North) do read about the Northallerton Meet Up below :)

(if not – go click the link to Jacinta’s blog and I’ll catch up with you soon)

    Hi Randy, I am sorry to hear your family news and I completely agree with you about not putting important things off. All too often we can find the time has passed to do things we would have liked.

    Good luck with the challenge!

    Enjoy the journey.

    Hi Randy,

    I am getting good at these bimbo moments!! :lol:

    I am even surprising myself and that is easy to do! :P

    It would be awesome if we can get 100 people on board, well that is the plan. I have a lot of blog hopping to do! :oops:

    Sorry to hear about Rachel’s Nanna. Time is precious!

    I remember the last time I saw my nanna on my mums side. It was funny I just knew that was going to be the last time I saw her.

    I remember cracking jokes with her how she was going to give all her old boyfriends a run for their money once she reached those pearly gates and they would be all waiting for her with a glass of blackberry nip (her favourite alchohol). She giggled and laughed.

    She told me she was tired and she was ready to go. Ironically I told her she needed to have a chat with the man upstairs if she was ready and work something out. She giggled.

    6 weeks later she had a heart attach in the kitchen of a dear friend of hers making a cuppa tea! (having a cuppa tea was one of her favourite pass times)

    Now my hubby’s nanna is on a similar path and I have told him it is time for happy memories.

    Hope all is going well and good luck with the challenge.

    Is this your blog post?? Can I list it on the contributors page?

    Cheers

    Jacinta :D

    Hey Randy,

    So sorry to hear about Rachel’s nana x

    And I dont think your to small to be credited for it, your emails are always the one of the first I read.

    I would LOVE to come to your meetings, but I simply cannot do a monday unfortunately, but maybe I will book a few days off and come down sometime hopefully.

    I did sign up though, just so I am kept in the loop about the meetings.

    Sally :)

    Hiya Sally,

    The news on the meetings is that the majority seem to be saying a Saturday would be better – so I’m glad you opted in, as I’ll be making inquiries to sort a venue and move the day over the next few weeks :)

    And it’s nice to know someone reads my emails….lol

    ;)
