Interesting that border has come out and had a go at pointing – how many series did Ab’s teams win in india during his reign? Additionally may be a bit rich calling punter selfish – surely he and steve waugh have had more resulted tests then border did – sure they had warne and mcgrath at there disposal but you’ve got to ask yourself how many times AB batted on a bit to long to not force a result – lets not forget that for a bloke who usually batted at 5 or 6 to once be the highest run scorer in the games history to me suggests he may have put himself first occasionally as well

Planning is about an act of formulating a program for a definite course of action.After you plan something, the next step for your to do is to have the adequate knowledge and passion for working as per your planning.

to be a better blogger- plan and act today, don’t live in past or in future, because the past has gone and the future has not arrived : so live in present. Have a great day

The timing for this article could not have been better as I was working out a strategy to promote by website pighunt.in to a very niche audience in my hometown through our blog.

This article gave me the push towards starting on the right foot. I will implement the 4 Ps and work towards reaching out to my audience in the right manner.

Funny story. It’s a good tie in to the helpful planning tips you detailed. Sometimes we dive right into things without thinking of the consequences of things we should have researched, which can lead to problems in the middle of whatever we’re doing. One of the keys to success is first having, then executing a detailed plan.

I’ve made many a faux pas while interviewing wrestlers in the past. It is something you have to go through as a young journalist. lol

It’s good to do research and have questions prepared.

Another tip is to be aware when you interview really famous people, they may not be willing to give you much time.

When I worked as a reporter for The Anchorage Times, I interviewed Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. At that time, I was doing interviews that lasted about 40 minutes to one hour.

She acted irritated that I kept asking questions. I took notes on the computer and had pages and pages of notes, most of which I didn’t use.

I wonder if I can find the notes? It would make interesting blog posts.

absolutely!!!
As a brand new blogger I have absolutely NO experience in this field. But Since I have 30 yrs in the health industry I thought I would be flying easy by giving advice and info.
Not a chance…..
I have been researching, condensing and learning heaps of new things along the way, also experimenting with different styles of writing.
Its a wonderful learning experience
And it was a really fun post to read, thanks for the laugh

Thanks for all the great comments so far! I am glad so many of you have laughed and revelled in my humiliation :) …. I laugh every time I think of it, and it happened 17 years ago.
It seems most of you agree preparation is the key for success in blogging – in anything really – so I am pleased the post has ‘hit the mark’, if not wicket.
cheers,
Pam

If you want to be a better blogger, don’t just sit down next to the computer and blogging all the time. A pro blogger must live his life, by doing anything beside blogging. A people who blogging all the time is not a pro blogger, but a freak blogger.

There is always very interesting stories about successful peoples.
I want to mention here that it is not difficult to become a Problogger. but we must always learn from our seniors like Problogger.
From this article i got one idea that the only secret is to look around and watch every successful man that what he is doing.
And then we have to choose our own style.
Because every successful man or women has there own style and there own way.
The only thing which is unique in problogger is, that Problogger actually give us some thing very important and helpful.
I just want to say thank you to ProBlogger for there contribution with newbes.
Thank you so much for this great article.

Got to apply all the Ps!

Sometimes we have to offend and attract others to see. That’s how some people got popularity.

That’s hilarious. Maybe you could call Ricky Ponting and ask him how the ashes are going.
