Followup post to Just Curious

The comments to my earlier post, regarding the way in which we can measure ranking by our earnings as well as by the popularity of our blogs, were most informative. A lively discussion ensued, and I wanted to post one of my responses in a more open area so that others might have an opportunity to... Sign in to see full entry.

Just out of curiosity

Who has made the most money, ever, here at BN? The front page says that we bloggers have earned close to $5K as I write, but I haven't been able to find any one of us who has individually cracked the $100 barrier yet. Not that it will never happen - one person to my knowledge is very close, and he... Sign in to see full entry.

Another note for people maybe having trouble (note to Freedom)

I'm having a devil of a time posting links such as a mailto link. This is the only way I can get through to anyone - Freedom, if you're reading this, there is an email addy you can use to get through to Shaycom (who owns The Blogging Network). I still can't comment. Otherwise, this post would end up... Sign in to see full entry.

Cleveland Bound

Now, I think it's time to reveal the real reason I've been busting my fingers here on The Blogging Network, and the reason why I've been busting my chops trying to think of topics I can expand into self-published books. I want to fund my share of a trip to Cleveland, Ohio - our daughter is eager to... Sign in to see full entry.

Scott Peterson says he's innocent

This is one of those cases I followed at least minimally over the past few months. Frankly, I think he has a motive for murder; he admitted to having an affair while his wife was very pregnant, about six weeks away from the date she expected to give birth to their then-unborn son, Conner. I also... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing prompt for Palm Sunday: DARE

As usual, everything from the boldface headline on down is the prompt. (Yes, Jemmie, I know - I'm late as all get out on this one. Blame it on Holy Week - the one week of the year I dread without fail.) DARE to keep kids off drugs Jemmie, I bet you didn't know that DARE is an acronym standing for... Sign in to see full entry.

Catch The Art of the Steal if you can

I purchased The Art of the Steal yesterday at a local Borders Books and Music, and I would highly recommend that you do the same. As Tom Hanks says on the cover, if you have money in your pocket - and I would add a Social Security number - you need the information Frank Abagnale provides in The Art...

Waco and Oklahoma City

If it weren't for Waco, Oklahoma City never would have happened. April 19, the day I write this, marks the tenth anniversary of the end of the siege at the Mt. Carmel compound in Waco, Texas. All eighty-plus remaining followers of David Koresh were immolated as tanks and other federally-owned pieces... Sign in to see full entry.

So far...

So far, I have a very basic structure to the book. I don't have a title, but I do have a very skeletal outline and a topic. There is only one problem I have left to solve. I've been reading books on self-publishing, and all advise going the route of starting a company to do that. I don't want to - I... Sign in to see full entry.
