I can't tell if my post was successful or not).<BR/><BR/>As self-identified fervent Obama fan, I don't think we're going to have any problem with blogging material.<BR/><BR/>Just the other day I blogged about Obama's nasty smoking habit on my blog "Barack Obama: Real Maturity."<BR/>I'm suggesting that Obama is The Mature Man -- a perfect role model for us -- and smoking does not fit this model of maturity.<BR/><BR/>I also blog about maturity/immaturity on my blog "Grow Up Now! Thoughtful Conversations about Immature People."<BR/><BR/>Lots to blog about with Obama's new administration and all the human foibles we'll witness in the political circus called Washington.<BR/><BR/>Jane Iddings, Blogger, www.BarackObamaRealMaturity.com and www.GrowUpNow.infoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-87628786712167706352009-01-02T22:07:00.000-05:002009-01-02T22:07:00.000-05:00Mr. Stein:Thanks for all your great writing.

When I need some reassurance there's still somebody around with their head screwed on straight, which is most days, I check in with Connecting.the.Dots. <BR/><BR/>You're the master of the quick jab and, as far as I'm concerned, set the standard for this genre. <BR/><BR/>There'll be plenty to keep bloggers busy. The stimulus package will bring out the snake oil salesmen like roaches on Mardi Gras. <BR/><BR/>All the best to you in the new year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36404602.post-38648603425797930722009-01-01T18:27:00.000-05:002009-01-01T18:27:00.000-05:00I don't think we have anything to worry about. I'v...I don't think we have anything to worry about. I've been blogging, often in very long-form, for more than 3 1/2 years and although a number of my fans and the people who don't seem to like my blogging but read me anyway chide me constantly about my posting length, I just got anointed the most influential in my town (Pepper Pike, Ohio - population 5,700ish) by the local paper which is owned by the same company that owns the Plain Dealer (Sun Newspapers - runs 22 local papers around the Cleveland burbs). And what do they note as my influence?<BR/><BR/>My blog.<BR/><BR/>Which barely averages 300-400 readers. No. Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Except when I was blogging for The Ruckus - then it was up around 3000.<BR/><BR/>So - I don't think we have anything to worry about - I think people who were just doing brain or emotion dumps might be in trouble but those of us who really use it for interaction and expression, not so much.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02175591212176951287noreply@blogger.com
