Great pleasure to meet you. I've been blogging over two years, and I feel fortunate with constant visitors surfing my blog. However, lacking of comments on my posts is really worring me. What can I do?
I think, following some of your advice I could improve my work , and continue benefit my audience.
Hi Michele - I really love The Bamboo Project. I'm on the 31 day challenge - Day 2 'the audit' and I was wondering if you have a spare five minutes you would be so kind as to take a quick look and provide me with some feedback? http://pnichols.edublogs.org/
I don't know how I moused my way here, but I see we have a number of mutual interests. In addition to being a Philadelphian (sort of) I also am interesting in building a better blog. And if it results in a better world, that's good too.
I've been blogging for more than a year, and am happy with a steady stream of visitors, but I was hoping for an exponential growth. I'm still waiting.
Perhaps I can follow some of your advice, and find more of my audience. You have a lot of material here. I will try to find my way through it. Nice to meet you. I like the look and feel of your work. Keep in touch.
I love what you have started here! I have been lurking for a while and decided to jump into the water. I also have been out to visit the Bamboo Project. Good stuff...
Dear Michele
I`ve been at your Building a better blog project in Feb 2008. I was sad because even working hard I did not had results with my blogs. Thalia, from your group of friends, made some comments on my blog and I made the changes she recommended. Now when I see my name in Google I have more than ten pages with my name Nadiva Olivier and the blogs I have, including Brazil Factor, which is the new name of the blog Thalia commented (Coach Nadiva, before). The change of the name was a recommendation too.
I am really happy and I came here to tell you that. A human being that makes a so helpful project to other human beings must have this feedback. You made me happy. Really. I was almost abandoning the blog activities when I came to you.
Tonight I am toasting (with a very good italian wine) to this event and toasting to you and Thalia. Thank you so much!
Hey Michele! Do you ever have workshops in Philadelphia where you discuss social media as an important learning tool for non profits or discussing non profits in general?
Hey Michele,
I am having some issues growing my community and getting my forums active... Can you share any techniques with me on how to get the membership rolling in? I love ning, and maybe I am doing fine... but I want to grow quicker than I am. i have 12 m2mbers right now, half of witch I know personally and none of them are blogging or active in the forums.
Hi Michele. So how many are here in this network? :)

Hi and thanx for the welcome! I have had a couple of blogs over the years, but have recently started a blog that I have a lot of hope for, that is more than just a diary of sorts! FYI - I did just add my RSS to my page here! :) Hope you have a GREAT Valentine's Day!
I decided to move from Wordpress to Ning because I was really excited by the idea of community building. I thought my blog was a cool way for me to talk to the world, but that Ning would let the world talk back in a more substantive way than comments would.
I miss the massive amount of plug-ins and flexibility Wordpress gave me, but I feel very confident that Ning will have that same level of support over time.
Keep an eye on my site... I have a new logo and some CSS changes coming!
Hello yes, Michele. I got here through following Sue Waters post yesterday. When she was in the middle of her chocolate challenge I couldn't really keep up as it was not holidays. Glad to have holidays so I can fid great new resources like this.
yes, Michele. It's totally open and free. All moderators are volunteers. In fact, ours is only one of the sessions offered. There are lots of interesting ones happening for educators interested in integrating edtech to their teaching. Last session we had 180 educators from all over. We're finishing shaping up the syllabus with the weekly tasks. I'm sure participants will love this space as it is totally related to our session.
Hi, Michele. Thanks for the warm welcome. I heard about your idea in a podcast, an interview with you. We're about to start a six-week free online session for educators around the globe,http://evo08sessionscfp.pbwiki.com/Blogging4educators so I'm here to learn with you!

Thank you, Michele!
I have already started learning and I am loving it.
