Onward we go

  • Basic business knowledge [combination of observations, theory and lots of practice- successful or not]
  • Challenges either overcome or cirumvened and a differing track taken with altered views and new perceptions gained.
  • Changes experienced
  • Community development
  • Family traditions
  • Further extending of education.
  • Life skills
  • Meeting the needs of some community members.
  • Training adults

Creative blog faces

Blogger has new creatively blendable template faces for the blogs.

What the decission now to be made is
  1. Should all the blogs have the same format and colouring?
  2. With the new gadgets [twitter, followers and others] should the sites be changed as the new technology becomes availbale. 
    1. Provisio being now these changes would affect the monetrization side of the blogs..

What the feedburner lines meant

  • Curiosity has had all the addresses placed on this service.
  • The squiggly lines did not mean much ..
    • Yes there are records of the number of subscribers to the site and views on the site recorded.
    • Records of which host service carries the people who view the site are interesting.
    • When it was found that there is a recorded of clicks associated with post addresses much cheering occurred.

Stastics

  • Wordpress had stastics on a minute by minute basis that were available to the author.
  • Blogger now has this service as well.

How have things changed

.

Money played an important part

Money . The ability to make and to stretch the available money was important.

The blog sites were a minimal registration cost.
  •  Acknowledged is that the minimal may turn into a maximmum amount later on.
The ability to monetize each site was important.
  • Fundraising for a local voluntary organisation.

Affordability

It was easier to promise to pay a minimal site fee per blog through out the weeks as re-registration became available than one lump sum.

Wordpress and Joomla

The experimental address is still ours2share.wordpress.com.

What was liked about wordpress.com was the crispness of the site. 
  • The ability to easily change the face of the site. 
  •  The  way and time factor of uploading the photos. 
  • Being able to alter the photos as presented on the page.
  • New methods offered by the three 'free' blogs available were updated.
  • The 2008 financial crash occurred and money was scare.
These were similar to the Joomla Site.

What was different to the Joomla site was that the author felt like a degree of technical speak was needed.  It appeared that basic first step understanding were presumed to be known.  The instructions were written for a person who already knew instinctively the first steps through being totally familiar with the concept of computers, Internet and front page creations [making blogs].

Free blog sight.

Sppedweb offered a free site with their internet connection.  The author later found that the site was free for one year.  Then at a cost of $250.00 per year after that. 

Three primary blog addresses.

cve4me.com,
2haveclearvision.com
whynotgirlguides.com

Onward with the lauch.

When the first blog was created for one of the support works that a member of Clear Vision Enterprises was voluntary working within.  One blog turned into two, then three and more until this person got the hang of remembering passwords and opening the actual blogs.

Gradually there were more blogs being opened with the generalised idea of not confusing the reader.  There was so many blogs getting made through three primary addresses. The author also had an offer of a free blog that could be an overall address for all the blogs. Clear explanations and set up occur ed. The author went back, communicated via email and phone.  Although minimal training was given previous learning and the current competencies of the other blog creations enabled the author to cross over the knowledge.  Using related knowledge the  blog grew.  However there were several overriding factors that lead to the termination of this sight.

For the creator of these blogs things were getting confused. Education into blog building was urgently needed. Thankfully there was training being offered through the Internet. One such course was by Tom Dona van who sends out teaching emails. Reading a teaching email the author found that the knowledge that each blog needed a focus was basic business knowledge.  Several things now clicked into place. If each blog needed a focus then there should be an overriding business strategy. This would mean having an inclusive vision, mission statement. Along with the associated objectives, strategies and so forth. So pen to paper these things are occurring [or connecting of brain impulses to key board!].  Further down the line the author realised that these were already through out the blogs. ie http://www.growinthings.net/ had a set of objectives.  and strategies. So too did several other blog sites.  But did all these official things met up with the main focus of what CVE4me actually was.That is did these all fit together under the umbrella of what CVE4me stood for? The answer actually was yes.  Just in many cases they were not individually formalised.
At this stage several merging incidents were externally having an impact on what actually CVE4me what path was to be taken by CVE4me in the future.
  • New things were found and gradually used through out the blogs. But there were still some of the original challenges to be recognised and dealt with. 
  •  Communication being one of these challenges.
  • Who was CVE4me catering for.
  • How were those involved with CVE4me reaching out and catering for their focal consumer groups?
  • What challenges was CVE4me reacting to with what results.
  • Were the change factors having a positive spin off?
Primary factors of change are still onwardly developing thus change is occurring, enabling growth potentials to move past the previous boundaries expected to be met. Reviews, evaluations involved further needs analysis that shape the time management and thus the journey of CVE4me.

Currently CVE4me is paused for outer space launches into many co-joining enterprises. Welcome aboard.  Let's travel together..

Opening blogs

The right pass word for opening the right blog.  Then of course not having one blog open [with one address] while having another blog open [with another address].

What and how I became who I am.

One of my challenges as I neared my half century was to become more technology minded, another was to get what I wanted heard out to other people, still another to share information. While I was working out how to do this I was tinkering away with the web.

Once I had discovered 'gmail' through another organisation suggesting I subscribe.I now really thank the young lady and also a mentor of mine for using GMail themselves as I found this system not complicated and pretty on the eye. When I felt like a change I stumbled on how and why answers. So a visual change occurred usually with little stress and also within a moment.

Next I discovered blogs. It took me a while to work out how to do these. That there was also more than just writing something and hitting the publish key. Simple things like remembering the passwords, which email belonged to what site was fun...until I wrote it down and printed the page off. now I have it stored in excel and regularly update and print off. A copy kept, would you believe, in a non-descript folder near by, in another locked room.

The Blogs through Gmail have so much going towards them. There are many ways to make them interesting. Other ways of making a living from them. Essentially there are two interlinking goals to achieve. one is to create traffic through the sites. The second is to have a strong regular updated reader basis which encourages other readers and in turn writers wanting to post to and through your sites. Readers making comments, rating and sharing of the posts, and pages on your blogs is a terrific readership increase. The more readers the bigger the hit flow. The more your message is seen, read, hear and referred back to.

Thus said, have you made comments on anything yet? Written anything you would like me to post for you yet. Even 200 words will start you off. You may have discovered it's easy to write a post and publish it. And that is where things stay. You have a low readership basis. You become discouraged.

Name a blog GMail / and the type of title you want your blog to have. At a later date when the traffic through you is enough for your blog to be seen and recognised by it's self (or when you tell me too) then I will export and import your blog onto your own site. Simple as that.

Meanwhile - Write what ever memories of early life and so forth. Then send them and I would love to do the linking to other sites etc. By budding up to an already known system (mine) is a way you get your name recognized by authorities in subjects!!!

Further have a 'nom de plume' Face book and twitter site that represents your business. As a lot of people have a personal and a business 'facebook', 'digg', 'twitter' etc site keeping things separate makes sense.

Almost every post that is finished (written, linked and so forth) then gets 'shared' around these sites. You are the author and the sharing goes through your name. There are other readers who may share your post through their systems, friends. Use your post as a reference for other information collateral systems.

It's not the writing that's the challenge. It's the filing, indexing and linking of the relevant information that I'm having fun with. Hence why I currently am enjoying the down time of running another small business from home. I can, and am, spending time doing this. Together we can grow and our voices be heard. This is a form of community development through a technology medium.

Apparently business pay a lot of money for people who can do this. So the sites I help with are an ongoing part of my resume.
Here's to hearing from you.
