Tell all your friends, send the links to everybody in your FaceBook/MySpace/Social Network of choice, paint yourself purple and dance naked in the streets carrying a placard saying ‘READ TimK’s BLOGS ON BLUEVERSE’. There I’ve said it, this is difficult for me because I am an Englishman, and we are not good a self promotion, it is not the done thing. Generations of my countrymen have fought battles in which limbs have been blown off to return to the old country saying to all concerned, ‘Pish, tis but a scratch.’ Or from hunting down a man eating tiger with barely a word, ‘it was nothing’ is to the Englishman, what cheese is to the French, sacred. I believe this clip should let you know what I mean, and it is bloody funny as well.
Yet, being a blogger I naturally want to reach as many people as I can, not necessarily for profit, although I have to admit that I want my reputation to precede me in both paid and unpaid blogging circles. So I must ask you, constant reader, to Digg me, to promote me, to recommend me to all your friends. Am I wrong to do so? Well, it is a question I have asked myself, in the interests of maintaining the ever important integrity of my blogs, and I have reached the following conclusion. I believe that we all as bloggers and readers of blogs act as editors, we constantly review and compare and contrast all of the blogs we read, and often the only time we act is in a negative way (even if we do not read that blog again it is negative effect), it is rarer to act in a positive manner, this is just human nature. Therefore it is my new years resolution to actively Digg and promote the things I deem good in this community in any way I can, and I ask you to do the same. Promote what you enjoy, if I provide amusement or relevant comment take the time to Digg my articles, or even just send them to your friends. Happy Trails.
