This blogging stuff is getting harder to do. The time it takes to find a decent tune in Itunes that producing anything to write about is getting longer and longer. Then to sit down and strain to find some words to use that have not been used before is pretty hard work also
Today, I ventured over to my buddy Rex Dixon’s site to get some new words to use. A while back it seems all I got over there was Twitter this and Twitter that.
Some time ago, RD was all worked up on Twitter. He wanted me to go over and try it out. He claimed it was pushing more traffic to his site than other sources. I went over and checked it out.
I went through the rig-a-ma-roar of signing up and then trying to figure out how to use the site. While I was plowing through the help section to get an answer to my question I gave up and I just started hitting buttons to see what they did…well I hit one that was asking me, What Are You Doing? Crap, what does that mean?
I answered it by saying something about looking for the Grill Master or something like that. I call RD the Grill Master because he is always working on someone’s home page..
Heck I didn’t know that I just set up the slogan that will be on my profile that is what everyone will see when they come to my profile…
Well, I had some other stuff to do and didn’t get back to the Twitter tab on my FireFox for about five minutes.
When I hit the tab there where these two messages. Not very friendly ones I might add. Both of the authors seemed to know each other because they using the same words ‘Old Fart’, in the broken sentences people use on Twitter, to tell be to ‘get off the friggin system if I didn’t know what I was friggin doing’…
Well, that was a find How Do You Do!… Obviously they took the time to go to my IBGS Site to check out who I am… but what called for that greeting…
I fired a gmail message to RD to report that Twitter sucked… He didn’t blame me for my reaction and tried to convenience me to go back. He said to send him a message and he would get things started. Seems the way it works is people just eavesdrop in on other people’s conversations.
And since most of the conversations are held over cellphones, Blackberrys, Blackjacks and PDA they tend to be short and incomplete sentences usually resulting in someone to ask, “WTF are u saying?”
So, I did send RD a message which I got a response from him and then….
Well, it has been about six weeks and still nothing…so WTF. Guess this could be another waste of time for something that is suppose to drive traffic to your site…
Now it might, but I can’t thank anyone on Twitter because nobody answers the threads I put out there…
So, moving on to something that is more productive or was supposed to be.
As you can see, I changed the Header Text on the site today to show Is All of This Worth it?. I am probably going to change the theme once I decide what I want it to look like.
I might get some input from the Golf Girl since she has a keen eye for fashion, she might have some input on a web design.
Speaking of web-designs, Sheehan May over at TigerCreations.net, a web-site design company contacted me about linking to his new creation TheGolfApproach.com.
Now this is a pretty cool site that EVERYONE needs to check out…even non-golfers. It shows what Sheehan can do and is the way a site should look…super clean…then check out TigerCreations.net…WOW, he does some great stuff.
Now I think it is going to take a little Humble Pie to get me in the mood to talk about MyBlogLog…something like “Com’on Everybody”…might do the trick…be back to hammer MBL later.
