ExposeYourBlog ! A new year is underway

anjiknut — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:12:45 +0000

I can’t believe that I haven’t posted about EYB! since November. Despite three sets of holidays since then (Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year) surfing has been going well. The average daily surf is slowly creeping upwards. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to that statistic!
In my last ExposeYourBlog! post I was talking about interesting blogs that I’ve discovered while surfing. This time I’d like to mention Mobile Home Living. Like many people, I had my ideas as to what the inside of a mobile home would look like. I knew that they had more space than a caravan, as my brother lived in one many years ago. Some of the interiors featured on the blog are incredible!
You never know what you might find next on ExposeYourBlog!

2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,300 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 38 trips to carry that many people.

ExposeYourBlog!: Did you see my newsletter?

It was sent out on 16th November. Just in case you didn’t get round to reading it, or it found it’s way to your spam box, here it is again:

Firstly, I would like to welcome all new members to EYB! Surfing has been good so far this week. I hope that your blog is benefitting from visits, do not forget you need credits to have visitors and to get credits you need to surf (unless you are a paying member) 35 a day seems to be the magic number of surfs to keep things ticking over nicely. Of course, you can stay as long as you like!

Now that the usual stuff is out of the way I would like to talk a little about some of the blogs on EYB!. There are blogs to suit all tastes from all over the world. I find other cultures fascinating, so I enjoy reading what everyone has to say about their lives. I like to learn new things too. Have you ever wondered what all of those credits mean at the end of a film? Next time you are surfing and come across rwmg.tv blog, scroll down to “Why are film sets so crowded?” and you will find out. They also have some excellent videos, they know the business well, so you will not be disappointed with their choice. I am not going to put a link to their blog in this email. He, he, you will have to surf to see it

Along these lines, I set up a thread in the General Chatter part of the forum where you can talk about the interesting blogs you found while surfing, look for “Blogs that have surprised me”. Perhaps if you post something of interest there I will mention your blog (with a link) and the blog you particularly liked in a future email.

As always, Don, touwe and I are happy to hear from you. What would you like to see in EYB!? How can we improve the site? How can we increase membership numbers? You can give us feedback in the forum or send in a support ticket or even email us admin@exposeyourblog.com or forumadmin@exposeyourblog.com…..
Not bad for a first go? What do you think?

ExposeYourBlog!: New thread in the Forum

anjiknut — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:41:41 +0000

I’ve just started a new thread in the the General Chatter section in the forum, ‘Blogs that have surprised me’. Tell us about interesting blogs that you’ve come across on EYB!.
To start the ball rolling I’ve already written about a blog that I found surprisingly interesting to read. If you want to know which one it was… look in the forum!

ExposeYourBlog!: About comments

I think that I can safely say that Don, Touwe and I are very proud of ExposeYourBlog! We’re very keen to grow the membership in order to get member’s blogs seen by a wider and wider audience. One of the ways in which I do this is by leaving a link to EYB! whenever I leave a comment. This means that other commenters see the link and hopefully check us out. I also do this when I see other blogs I come across elsewhere, especially if I think they might be interested in ExposeYourBlog!. I don’t really consider this as spamming, perhaps it is. I’ve noticed that sometimes comments I’ve made that have been held in moderation never get published. I’d like to apologise if my leaving a link causes offense. My intentions are sincere.

If you have a Blogger blog the best format for comments is the pop up one. This is the only pop up we allow on EYB!. Unfortunately the other comment formats either break frames or leave the viewer looking at a blank page. Aha! That explains why you weren’t getting many comments from EYB! Members.

I’ve made a thread in the forum about how to change your comment format, if you need it.

ExposeYourBlog !: The nights are drawing in.

anjiknut — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:20:53 +0000

It’s nice to be snug and warm during the long dark winter evenings. Occasionally I work through the evening (one of the joys of self employment – I don’t mind). I enjoy watching TV, when there is something worth watching. Sometimes Rob and I choose a film to watch together, unfortunately we often fall asleep and wake up just as the credits are rolling.
You know what I’m leading up to? What could be better than an evening surfing and checking out your blogging friends? I’m sure that, like myself, members of ExposeYourBlog! look out for their favourite blogs while surfing. With your help I’d like to make EYB! even bigger and better. I worked out that if every member introduced at least one friend to EYB! We’d double the pleasure (I was good at maths at school, can’t you tell?). What’s more, the more your friend surfs the more credits you earn. Just pass them the link you’ll find under Downline on the tools page. It’s got your membership number included!

If you have any problems regarding ExposeYourBlog! or suggestions, please feel free to contact me ‘Anji’ or Don, ‘Admin’ through the EYB! forums or via a PM, or you can leave a comment here. We’d love to hear from you.

ExposeYourBlog !: What’s in the forums?

anjiknut — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 19:52:53 +0000

I thought I’d use this post to give new members and those that haven’t visited there yet, an idea of what they can find in the Forums.Firstly you will find information and announcements from the administration: How to, rules, contact information and so on.
In the main member’s area there are places where you can introduce yourself to other members and throw your blog to the lions (not really – we’re very kind here at EYB!). If you have ideas that would improve the running of ExposeYourBlog! or blogging tips to share with other members, the forum is the place to go. We also have threads on WordPress, Blogger, Surf and Chat, and even Selling Online. Not only can you find information there, you can ask questions or offer your own ideas and tips.
Perhaps your blog has been denied or banned. We can help you sort out the problem through the forum.
“It’s a Small World” is a thread where you can post up and coming events in your area – other bloggers could be interested too. You might even meet up with them! Why not post about traditions in your country?
You’ll need to join the forum separately from the main site. It’s very easy to do, click on registration (top right hand corner) and the questions will guide you through…
I almost forgot to mention that once you have joined the forums, it’s possible to sent PMs (Private Messages) to other forum members as long as you know their user name. You can also contact me; Anji or Don; Admin via a PM.

ExposeYourBlog !: Happy Birthday Admin

anjiknut — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 19:01:16 +0000

It’s Don’s Birthday today, I’m sure that all the members of ExposeYourBlog! will be with me in wishing him a very Happy Birthday!

ExposeYourBlog !: This and that

anjiknut — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 16:53:13 +0000

First of all I’d like to welcome all of our new members. There is even more than ever to see on EYB! As we increase our membership. Don’t for get that you have the choice of surf or surf and chat. Surf and chat is my personal favourite so I’m often there. Useful to know if you have any questions about EYB! – or even how to sign up for the chat box.
I’ve just written about stats in the ‘Blog Tips’ area of the forum. I’d like to hear about how you use the information you glean from your statistics.
Don’t forget that Don and are always ready to help out with any questions you have about EYB! Hopefully your experience is a smooth one. The forum has plenty of information too and as Chief Forum Admin, I’m naturally pleased to see members visiting and contributing.

ExposeYourBlog!: Blogger comments

anjiknut — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 19:17:54 +0000

This is lifted from a post I made on the EYB! forum in the Blogger thread:

You really do need the pop-up window format
It seems that any other form of comments on Blogger breaks frames. To change; from the dashboard choose the ‘Settings’ tab then click on ‘Comments’. Go to ‘Comment Form placement’ and check ‘Pop-up Window’. Don’t forget to save the changes.
