I'm @CindyKing if you would like to connect with me. 2 & 3 - I've linked to this post today and here I am leaving a comment. You are right, these take a bit of work and I have read that 10 comments a day should be the minimum (a number I seldom reach). 4 - I noticed that you moved and so the AdAge folks might not see you this year. This is a shame, but self hosting is a better choice for a blogger like you. Better moving now than any time in the future. You will get your authority back quick enough. Remember it is easier to move up in authority now that you know how to do it. 5 - having a blog name that people can remember is important, and if it sounds girlie, well you are a girl. I work with a group of women on one blog, about writing white papers, and the fact that we are working in a traditionally male niche may be held against us. On the other hand there is no reason why a woman can't write a white paper as well as a man and we feel that being women may actually work in our favor. stumbled.

It's very easy to try and read everything, and end up not taking in any of it because there are so many different resources out there, and then putting time into writing a worthwhile comment can be difficult - I guess it's a tricky balance, read and assimilate, or concentrate and add value!

I subscribed to the new feed too. It's hard to get all the prior links to move over, because people know you from the old address. (FYI, I'm at http://brandandmarket.com, not on blogspot anymore.) I'll fix my blog roll to your new URL. It's great that you could get your name as the URL!! I tried, but of course there are millions of us "Chris Brown's" Thanks! Chris Love your new blog!!

I admire your discipline in having only 150 feeds. My biggest mistake is having too many in my reader, and then not keeping up. Time to prune. Thanks for the inspiration!
