Thanks for commenting. I should really get that threaded comment thing, but alas I like my monsters too much. As for BZ, I <em>love</em> it. I really do. Hi, Rod! Thanks for commenting.

I should really get that threaded comment thing, but alas I like my monsters too much.

As for BZ, I love it. I really do.

Thanks for coming by. I feel like I should clarify a little now, yes? These are observations from an outsider. I'm a blogger first and a money maker... well, I don't really make any money yet. I'm concentrating on other types of endeavors right now. Still it's a little disconcerting to me to click on a link thinking a post is going to give me new information and see something not so new. I think, as someone looking in from the outside, that personality will get more attention. Not necessarily a strong personality, but a most certainly a <em>unique</em> one. Everyone has one, but it seems that the SEO niche forgets that. Does that make sense? At any rate, when I wrote this post there wasn't much on BloggingZoom <em>but</em> SEO/SEM type blogs- <em>a lot</em> of which were keyword stuffed, hard to read and lacking personality. I became annoyed and then I had to blog about it. I mentioned women because I haven't run across many of them that have made their mark in that niche- there are some really good women in the niche, but not a whole lot. Maybe I haven't looked hard enough, but I'm pretty sure I don't have the type of personality to blog just for SEO/SEM. When I hit the big time, though, you can be sure I'll blog all about it.

I'm like you, would love to code my own theme, but I'm realistic enough to know that I probably wouldn't be able to stay focused on it long enough to get it done. I got involved on BZ in its second week, and it's brought no end of traffic to my site which launched on the day that I discovered BZ. It's been great. I do agree about the MMO posts though. It'd be nice if there was a way to filter those out. <em>Rod Templeton's last blog post..</em><a href='http://www.bloggingnotes.net/using-plug-ins-in-windows-live-writer-2008/' rel="nofollow">Using Plug-ins in Windows Live Writer 2008</a> I’m going to parrot what everyone else seems to be saying – the theme looks great.
