I like the idea of telling stories as illustrations.

This bit of homework was more difficult than I thought it would be, but I had fun doing it. I’m not sure how it will be received, but we shall see.

I have lots of stories in my blog. Come and find the jewels in the sand…maybe some wild jokes in the Unfinished fairytale such as Mr. Frog’s mobil bathroom biz or the little blue fellow’s spicy bikini

I have been blogging since my first article on June 1. It is nice to hear a problogger tell me that I am doing something right. I usually tell a story in my articles. I feel like the personal touch is important. An example of one of my stories is found at http://patriciasingleton.blogspot.com/2007/06/most-influencial-person-2-survival.html .

Okay here it is. Yes, it’s way too long. But some stories can’t be told short. While writing for yourself can be suicide for a blog sometimes that’s the only place we get it.

I wrote a post on why rapid growth can kill your business for this project, based on mistakes I’ve made, but it’s still in drafts. It was a great exercise to do, but i don’t think my blog is ready for that particular post yet.

In response to this post, Darren, I have posted my story about How I Made Money Blogging, but I ran into some problems everyone can learn from.

Hm. Once again, something I never thought of. *shocker* I think this could really help me connect with my readers. I’ll give it a whirl!

Oh great! Now I go back to day one and find out it’s not about sharing or linking back here.
Just open mouth.
And insert long link.
Oh, well.

Thanks for the opportunity to share. I just started blogging in June. This blog is winding down but last night I posted something that illustrates to me what you are talking about. Maybe. But I will use your story guidelines in the future and try to become better at telling a story. Day seven? I have some catching up to do.

This is a great post! I’ve been blogging now for about a week, and My last post was telling a story to illustrate a point, but you’ve illuminated some of my mistakes! Thanks!

Brilliant tips Darren – and great outfit. I can’t call you the boring blogger any more now that your secret is out. How much does Donald Trump charge you for renting his wigs?

Thanks for the tip about the book, Darren. I’m going to read it. My blog this week is a story. Story posts are my favorite blogs to write because they usually are truest to the purpose of my website. And thanks for creating ProBlogger — it’s an extraordinary site and a great help always.

…and the great tips just keep coming. Thanks for sharing these tips with us. Sometimes we need a “blog refresher” course to remember what we’ve forgotten!
