Yeah, I get them sometimes. It's just people trying to advertise their sites. I just delete them.

As always there are some great articles in this thread! I've stumbled quite a few of them just now .

Any stumbling for my most recent article (see my sig) or any others on my site would be appreciated.

Thanks... it's always nice to hear when someone appreciates something I write. For that matter, it's always nice to have someone acknowledge that they're reading my articles :P

Speaking of articles, here's my two most recent, for your reading pleasure:

I would certainly appreciate some 'Stumble Love' for my new blog as well! If getting stumbled by some of the community here has an impact, it will give me something else to write about!

Jason with your output I would never have imagined you got writer's block .

A well timed article for me. Consider it stumbled (along with a few others in this thread).

Thank you for the compliment. I don't get it that often, but I think that actually makes it MORE frustrating for me... I'm used to the words just flowing out naturally, and so when the ones I want won't come... ARGH!

By the way, though I don't really say it much, I read every article that gets linked to on this thread... not saying I stumble them all, but I DO read them. So keep posting (oh, and I've found a few blogs that are in my RSS reader, too...).

By the way, my writer's block article has been given a thumbs up by at least 3 people (the last one being at least 8 hours ago), and has a total of 27 page views, at least a handful of which are mine... anyone have any idea what's going on?

Is it not in the "index", as it were? Any idea why that might be?

Another article for your consideration:
Two Styles of MMO gameplay

Jason - I don't know :/ I had one really good experience with stumbleupon, and since then have been unable to replicate it. (I think I must've written one very general and valuable article, and my others have been a bit more niche). All I can suggest is you wait a day and see what happens.

New article, hot off the presses!

Could it be so, could someone who doesn't have a clue about Internet Marketing do a million in sales per year? Read how this person and others selling niche products may be on the brink of extinction.

I talked to one of the SU staff and they said there were problems with the groups at the moment. No new groups have been approved for a while, but I am not sure how much longer this will last.

I will update you all once they get it straightened out.

I found and stumbled this one before you even posted it on here (though I was using a computer set up with my step-son's stumble account instead of my own).

Thanks! ^^ That's always a good sign!

By the way, this isn't my website, and it's a photoblog - but this woman takes *stunning* photographs, and is much deserving of a spike in traffic. So please stumble Negativa » exactly where we are from

and any other of her photos you might like. And comment too!

Default Busy

So, as those of you who are my regular readers may have noticed, I didn't post anything from last Wednesday until Tuesday... that's because I was really busy at home (the exact stuff I was busy with is boring, so I'll leave it at that).

But, in a creative rush, I have been churning out articles left and right today, so I wanted to provide you with a few links for you to read, if you are not one of my subscribers (which has, by the way, doubled from 22 to 44 in about a week, whee!).

I also wanted to make a request, since I know you are all bloggers, most of you in similar fields to me... my Technorati: Home rank for A Miracle A Day is just above 100,000. I believe I only need a handful more links to break 100,000, and that would be really cool to me (might not mean much to you guys, but it does to me), so if you like any of my articles enough, whether in this bunch of something else, if you could give me enough of a bump to break into the top 100K without having to do something like creating a list like Priscilla's top personal development blogs (I don't think there's anything wrong with that, I just don't want to do something like it JUST to get in the top 100K), I would really appreciate it... it would actually make me excited, and I don't get excited about all that much.

So, with that huge paragraph full of a request out of the way, here are my recent articles from most recent to oldest:

The Secret To Motivating Your Subordinates

5 Reasons Why Companies Fail To Find Good Leaders

The Very Simple Secret To A Happy Marriage - Probably the best chance for SU success, but then again, what do I know?


Dealing With People Being Difficult In 7 Different Kinds Of Relationships


RSS Readers - The New Newspaper?

Why It's Hard To Have Peace Without Quiet

Sheesh, it's a veritable smorgasboard... I don't seem to be writing about just one topic lately :P

I've been lurking around on this thread for quite some time after posting in the beginning. I've stumbled just a bit but thought this might be of interest.

My friend Erin and I decided to hold an contest around a couple of questions that we've been mulling over for awhile. Of course every contest must have a prize, so we are offering a $25 Amazon gift certificate to the winner.

The questions are...

How big of a role do habits play in your daily life? Do your habits typically form intentionally or unconsciously? What approaches have you found successful in shaping them?

If you're interested in finding out more here's the link. You don't need a blog to enter. Just email me your article and we will find a way to publish it (if you don't have a blog that it).
