The Blog Guy Talking

Just some simple reminders that will help everyone:

First, Blogs are a form of social networking. Many people use them in an attempt to sell a product or service. The best way to do this is get a .com domain name and a website. The Blog should only be used to augment your Website. For reasons covered in my previous Blog Tips such as Google Blogging Tip # 75: Ten (10) Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Myths and Facts for Blogs, Part 1.

Next, If you Follow one of my many Blogs, I in turn follow yours. As a courtesy I add all your Blogs listed under your Profile called 'My Blogs.' These are added to The Blog Guy's Blog Roll by Category and Links on : Blogs Follow Me, the Blog. As a follower they are also added to the Blog Roll List (which is in alphabetical order) on : Blogs I am Following, the Blog. If they are Non English Blogs they are posted on : Blogs I an Following, the Blog and on : Non English Blogs, the Blog. If they are Adult Content Blogs, they are posted on : A List of Blogs for Adults Only, the Blog.

Next, Following People is a way to get your Blog Noticed and when you reciprocate then this adds to both Bloggers Ratings with Google. Note for this to work, both must follow each other.

Next, Please report any down Links or Blogs removed by Google, or Blogs that change status such as requiring someone to sign-in to view the Blog. These will be removed from my LINKS and Blog Roll List. Just send me an email at:
alternate4craigslist@yahoo.com
-or-
Simply leave me a comment on the latest post and I will handle it.

Next, If you don't want anyone Following your Blog, then remove FOLLOWERS by simply -
Sign-in to your Blog.
Go to View Blog.
Look for Followers.
Look for the * just below Followers.
Click on the *
You will get a pop-up window.
Simply click on REMOVE.

Next, If you want to STOP someone from Following your Blog, then follow these steps-
Sign-in to your Blog.
You should be at the Dashboard.
Go to the bottom of the page, click on 'Manage.'
Find the Blog you want to remove.
Click on 'Settings.'
Click on 'Stop Following.'
Save / Done.
Wait for the Blog to recycle and come back to your LIST of Blogs you are following.
Then proceed to the next Blog if there are more than one or just go to the top of the page and click on 'Dashboard.'

Next, if you were Following one of my Blogs and no longer want your blog listed then send me an email. This email MUST include the name of the Blog and complete URL Address. It must also state which Blog it is on. Please include how it is listed (by name/description) if it appears on anyone of of The Blog Guy's Blog Roll List and/or in the LINKS. Without this I just don't have the time to search them out. As for Followers you may have noticed Google has been experiencing intermittent problems with Followers. So I may appear on your Blog but you may not appear on mine. If you remove or block a Blog it should catch up to the blogger following you in a couple of days.

Finally, as stated previously, I am going through all my Blogs and checking my Followers. This will take some time. But if you are listed in my Links or Blog Rolls and are no longer Following me, then you will be removed. Sorry about that, but as stated, Followers really only work when each party participates and reciprocates.

Thanks for understanding.
Have a good week.
regards,
The Blog Guy

Latest Blog Maintenance Update Status: COMPLETE

If you want to add a NEW Blog or Change your Blog Category please email me at:
alternate4craigslist@yahoo.com

2/ - I have decided to REMOVE the LINKS to:
Twitter
FaceBook
MySpace on 'Blogs Follow Me.'

Reason: It would make 'Blogs Follow Me' to congested.

I have instead created a special Blog for other Blog Users called -
Blogs By Twitter

Please CLICK on the link to take you to:
Blogs by Twitter

Google Blog Tops will continue tomorrow.

Blog Updates Completed

All the New Categories for Blog Roll List have been added.

Blogs have been moved to the NEW respective Blog Roll List category.


If you wish to Change your Blog Roll List Category, please Email me at:
alternate4craigslist@yahoo.com

Thank you for your patience, email feedback and comments.

User Clarification....

Part 1 - For Google Bloggers Only -
Some people have numerous blogs, some up to 20 or more.
I will add the FIRST one only to the 'Follow' list.
The First one only to the 'Blog Roll' roll list, by appropriate category.
The First Five Only to the LINKS list.

Part 2 - For Non Google Bloggers including Website Owners -
You will be added ONLY to the LINKS List.
As a general rule, 'Followers' don't work on websites anyway.
Google still doesn't have the bugs completely fixed on other Blogs such as MySpace and Facebook.

Please remember to report any BROKEN Links so they can be removed.
Thanks for understanding.
Happy blogging.

To ALL Followers....

This new Google system of following is terrible.
It doesn't always place the newest follower(s) in the front, thus it makes following NEW people who have joined this Blog very difficult.
If I missed anyone, please forgive me.
Simply post a comment on this Blog, and I will catch up and add you...
or, you can send me an email to:
alternate4craigslist@yahoo.com

thanks for understanding

If you are looking for Google Blog Tips, they're plenty more coming.
When you don't see a daily post here it's because I am either swamped with work (on a deadline and burning the candle at both ends as they say), or traveling, please be patient.

Don't forget to help everyone out.....
If you find a Broken LINK posted here, send me an email, and I will remove it at once.

Coming later today, more email questions and answers.

Blog Status...

Sorry I haven't updated anything including follow list, links, etc. or made any post...I have been out of town on business. I rarely travel, in fact I work out of my home most of the time.
I'll be back home tomorrow and should get everything caught up todate by Sunday.
I got a lot of email questions about Google and Blogging so I will address those first before posting any new Google Blog Tips.
I am planning to add two new Blog Categories, hopefully I will get to those on Sunday as well.
Thanks for your patience.

Blog Update

I have removed the Icon from the 'Adult Content' category so as not to offend those who do not wish to see that material. Nothing else was changed. All the LINKS, Snippets, and Followers are still there.

If anyone discoveries a BROKEN LINK, as in a Blog is removed from the Internet, or the URL address is incorrect, please let me know and I will remove it from the list.
Remember you can change your category anytime you please by just emailing me or posting a comment requesting same.
As for several emails I received, yes there will be new categories added to the Blog Roll Snippets soon, please be patient.

Also, if you decide to remove your 'Follow' to this Blog, sorry you will be deleted from this Blog's follow group.

Good Blogging to all.
Thanks,
Your understanding is appreciated.

Yes, later on there will be another Google Blog Tip Today.
