The one that comes to mind for me was one I wrote when I ran out of oxygen for my soldering. The place I get it from can be a little hard to get to, so I thought I would try a home medical supply place. They said I needed a prescription. For soldering. So, my boyfriend went to the soldering/welding supply place and got one for me and I was back in operation. It's like getting a new propane tank for your grill. You give them a relatively decent one and get a cruddy one back in return. I did try to suggest that he bring a nice looking one back - he said - there is no way I am going in and asking for a cute oxygen tank. As long as I was back in operation, I was fine.

For some reason, this post was popular. Maybe not with a lot of comments, but it did get some and a lot of views.

On Flickr, the photo I have that has gotten the most views (over 600) is of the shelves where I store my beads. Never expected it to be of interest to people the way it was. Go figure.

I personally have a hard time blogging. I feel like it has been difficult for me to find my voice and post consistently things that will hopefully get easier with time. I know that dM has some amazing posts on what to talk about and setting a consistent schedule but I have yet to get into the swing of things. I know that one of my problems is that I have never been a very good writer (or speller for that matter) and I get overly concerned with what I am writing and everything must be perfect! Sometimes I forget that short posts are just as fabulous as long posts.

I have a few ideas for keeping myself on task - making a schedule and also keeping a notebook and my camera with me at all times. This, hopefully, will enable me to get back on track with my blog and give me more ideas. I would love to hear suggestions from others!!!

My most commented on post (7 comments --- yeah!) was about the HSMG conference. The post is here http://urbanagrestic.blogspot.com/2009/06/hsmg-conference-palm-spri... I think that I received a lot of comments because of the support network of attendees and participants from the show.

I have to say that having someone (anyone) comment on my blog is a great feeling!!!

Hi Alana!

Keep it up -- the camera is a total life-saver. Once you get into the swing of things, you'll be snapping away and seeing how great photos are for covering up spelling incompetency!

I just left a comment on your most recent post!

You go!

The most responded blog post (so far) was whan I asked for help (solution to a problem). Folks flocked to my rescue. THANK YOU. The collective advise not only solved my problem but it put my business on a smoother track. Folks do read our blogs. Folks are interested in what we do. They do care; but, they're just as busy as we are. I was honored that so many folks helped me.

I find that the blog posts 'ported over' to our Facebook Fan page get FAR more response than our 'traditional' blog. Yesterday I asked our Fans for input on a decision we're making, and had 25 comments w/in a couple of hours!!!

FaceBook rocks! Still great to have a blog though. You can control your blog. Can't control FaceBook. We don't know what their plans are but we can plan our own blogs. I love being your fan on FaceBook by the way!
