LGR Webmater Blog Best Blogging Achievement
Posted in Blogging | By LGR | On December 4th, 2007
It has been a little while since I took part in a group writing project and this one started over at All Tips and Tricks intrigued me. How do I measure my best blogging achivement?
Numbers are useful, but I find numbers usually don’t tell the whole story. Besides, I did not start this blog to reach the top 100 on Technorati, or to have the largest FeedBurner subscription count or to make tons of money. I would not be disappointed if some of those things happened, but that has not been my best blogging achievement.
When I created this blog I had two goals. One was to network and connect with others. I have missed connecting with others and having discussions, one of the downsides of working from home. My second goal was to help others become better webmasters and to continue to grow in my profession.
My best blogging achievement has been to achieve those goals. From the comments and emails I have received from people who have found information on my blog useful I know that others are finding new and better ways of being webmasters. I have also been able to connect with others and continue conversations that I would not have had otherwise.
I look forward to continuing to get to know more people and learning from them and sharing more of my experiences as a webmaster and making a living on the Internet.

Thank you for participating to my group writing project. Your blog helped me more than once in managing my websites. If it didn’t exist, I would have missed it for sure.

I was just saying this over on Yeepage.It’s funny how the act of blogging can feel empty, solitary. But once we click Publish and reactions come in, it no longer feels like a message in a bottle.
And we’re always a little bit astonished at that.

LGR, judging from the picture on your about page, it looks like you have your hands full working from home! Constantly being surrounded by family is great, but it does create some interesting challenges!
I just ran across your blog thanks to Simonne’s writing project. But your post “Google Actually Posted Something OFFICIAL on Bought Links” convinced me subscribe.

Your right numbers usually don’t tell the whole story. I measure my blog achievement by the comments and discussions it generates. I am always happy to receive comments.
An inspiring site for entrepreneurs, the Young Entrepreneur Society from the http://www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com. A great documentary about successful entrepreneurs.
Thanks Simonne! Thank you for hosting the writing project. I had been thinking about it for a little while, I was just not sure what to write until this morning. Looking forward to the list of participants and reading what everyone has to say.
Aaron, thanks for coming by and I am glad you subscribed. That Google post was one of my more sarcastic posts. I have to be honest I think some of the ways Google sends out information is just wrong. They don’t actually tell webmasters what the problems are through official blogs and channels like Webmaster Central, but they let information out through unofficial channels like Matt Cutt’s blog. Anyways I could go on but I am sure I will rant about them again in the future.
Working from home has some challenges, but the benefits far out weight the challenges. For example this morning I was working and my son came and showed me his coloring page. It was a small thing but I got to enjoy seeing how proud he was of his creation right after he finished it. That makes it all worth it.
I hope to update that photo soon. My daughter is already two.
