Default I Need Your Help

So, I was talking to my wife last night about reaching my goal of 100 subscribers, and she asked me what my next goal was. Having thought about it, I said "500 subscribers". She then asked for that for an anniversary present... a great thought, but my anniversary is less than 2 months away, so if I'm going to hit that, I need some help.

I've posted a request for help on my web site, at this address I Need Your Help. If any of you can, and want to, help, it would be appreciated. I know it's not that big of a deal to some of you, but it's the first specific anniversary present she's ever asked for, and she is my soul mate, so it does mean something to me.

Also, I know this is a StumbleUpon thread, and I've written an article about it, which I would like to request that, if you like it, you might digg, as well as stumble. So here it is: How To Get 17158 Page Views.

Okay, so I already wrote an article today and posted it on here, but I just had a breakthrough, a revelation, whatever you want to call it, and I wrote it down for anyone to read.

Just to let you know, it's somewhat of a departure from my normal writings, well, to be honest, it's a fairly large departure from my normal writings, but it's likely to be at least partially familiar to many of you who read Steve's blogs/writings.

Believe what you choose to believe, respond how you choose to respond, but I'm laying it out on the line and holding nothing back.

So here it is... subscribe, unsubscribe, give me thumbs up or thumbs down, link to me or never visit my site again, but this is what I believe to be the truth, and it is yours to read:

Subscribed -- and I linked you in my latest post:

I'm still stumbling, but I've also started using del.icio.us since I suspect I've stumbled many sites on here to the point where it doesn't count anymore. So keep an eye out for any del.icio.us traffic coming your way, and let me know if it counts for much

I written a blog post that deal with the experience I have fighting spams on my free gaming encyclopedia, libregamewiki.org

The Libregamewiki Blog » Blog Archive » The Ongoing War to Fight Spam

I hope others find it useful.

If you're in the mood for discovering new game, you could just visit Main Page - Libregamewiki and ignore the blog.

I have no idea if I am doing this blog about my website right though.

So, apparently my last post did offend some people, as I lost subscribers, but I'm not going to go about changing who I am for other people.

Anyway, here's my new one, more along the lines of what you're used to from me, but I think this one might do well:

How To Tell If Your Relationship Is Fantastic

So... hope that I at least didn't scare anyone off from here.

Oh, and thanks for mentioning me, and the compliment, Suzie.

I have a couple of articles, one along my usual lines, and one lighter/more humorous article... hope you enjoy, and as usual, any social site voting is appreciated.

The Five Levels Of Awareness

Top 5 Ways To NOT Be Like Britney Spears

I have another serious article I want to write (though not for today), but I think I might start throwing in more humor... I don't want to burn myself out on serious stuff. Not that today's was hilarious... but I'm running on caffeine to supplement the 45 minutes of sleep I got last night.

I just wrote an article for one of the Problogger giveaways (and I won a prize ) that I think most people here would enjoy:

Also, here's one that I think you guys might not agree with, but please stumble if you find it interesting. I'd love to hear if you have criticisms on it as well:

Default Can I join in?

I am really looking for ways to drive traffic to my site (who isn't, right?). It has been up since May. I would love to join in on this stumbling thread...
What exactly do I need to do? I am bibanez on SU. I haven't read through all 12 pages of this thread... but I plan to when I have a little more time to see exactly how this is all going down. For now I am going to check out the articles that you people have requested to be stumbled, and if I like it I will stumble. I would ask the same from you.
My latest article is the beginning of a series:
"Speaking Your Mind Without Making Enemies; A guide to positive and engaging relationships"
If you have any suggestions for my site, please, I am open to constructive criticism.
Thanks in advance!
Brooke

You've pretty much done it. Post any entries of yours you'd like us to look at, and check out ours if you find them appealing in any way.

You can also add others here as friends on the StumbleUpon site if they've posted their username here and have said that they're happy for people to do so. You'll find them as you go through this thread.

I have new one up: Four Stages of Personal Development.

It describes the changes some of you may go through as you work on improving yourself, which is what we're all here for, right?

It follows on from my previous post, How to achieve maximum personal growth
