A Good Deed for the Day
March 31st, 2008 by Rose RosetreeBlog-Buddies, here is a ridiculously easy way you could help this blog whenever you stop by. When you click on a post, it scrolls out full length and, at the bottom, are buttons.
Not just any buttons, these are ones you can click to let the world know about this blog. Click on any one of them and you’re asked to log-in. Once have become a member (allow maybe five minutes to join the first time), it’s really fast to log on, then click. It becomes a one-minute favor, or faster.
You’ll alert like-minded people about that post and helps them to find us.
These are the buttons:
- Slashdot
- Digg
- Del.icio.us
- Technorati
- Stumble upon
Just choose one and make it your reflex. Then watch our blog community grow. With my thanks.
Here we are, a unique resource online for developing uncanny skills to do aura readings, for reading faces, for becoming a skilled empath, for doing empathic merges. I have been informed by someone I trust that many potential members of our community simply google for “spiritual reading” or “intuitive reading” or even “energy fields.” (All these words in violet are excellent terms to drop if you make a comment along with your click.)
Your quick act of kindness will help our people find us. Thanks so much!
Rose,
I thought I joined early on, but now I don’t think so. I am a person who “googles” the terms you mentioned! I google a lot! Thank goodness the term is google, not ogle, though I do that too, on occasion:-)
By the way, my own passion for deeper perception floods my awareness every time I read a post on aura reading/face reading, (though I do not consider myself a face reader). or a story about someone who has helped themselves and others through the use of deeper perception through aura reading or being a ’skilled empath”.
This is so much the case that it has my interest in gestalt graphology (I studied with a master in the early nineties), and then went on to study this for a total of 12 years.
I realize that all of this pointed to a passion for reading people deeper in some form or another much of my life. I want to thank you, Rose, for all that I have learned from you (as well as the late Felix Klein). It has made my life a lot more interesting and helped me to help others better.
Thank you so much for your appreciative words.
And yes, Colleen, joining Google is different, but Google is so influential that probably pressing that Google button after you have joined would be the most influential way to help me with button hitting.
Others, like that techno-wizard Ryan, may know better, however.
Joining Google for the purpose of “buttoning” is as simple, I think, as obtaining a free email account there.
Slashdot!? Slashdot is mostly for technical stuff. If you have never read a Slashdot flamewar about minute features of obscure computer programming languages then you do not know what you are missing.
I guess that array of links for bookmarking blog entries is a standard “all-in-one” feature, or did you have to specify individual sites in your blog configuration?
Just be aware of something called the Slashdot effect in case your site gets a spike in traffic and becomes temporarily unreachable.
If you want to expand your reader base, then I really recommend that you get the comment notification feature working because you update your blog very frequently and having to manually check entries for new comments is too time consuming and something that most people will not bother with. The recent comments section and RSS feed help, but they only show a small number of recent comments.
You also might want to put the RSS icon somewhere on your blog rather than just having a link in the meta section so that people will be more likely to notice that this feature is available.
Also…the fonts on the right side bar of your blog are too big – you just cannot assume that people will do much scrolling and looking around on a web page.
Yes, this is picky stuff, but good web design is tricky.
You might also want to check out Slade Roberson’s work. His target audience is spiritually oriented people, and one thing he focuses on is how people who do the kind of work you do can use their blogs as effective marketing tools.
RYAN, thank you for making me laugh when you wrote about Slashdot. In fact, thanks for all your comments.
I am seriously concerned however about whether or not you or others can subscribe to comment notification. Where you sign up to register for the site, isn’t there a place to receive comments? Ryan, others, did you sign up for that?
Knowing these facts can really help me go back to my designer.
Oh wow, I did not realize we can register for this site. I think I looked at that link a long time ago, but I must have thought it was something else.
I just registered, but I have not received the e-mail message with a password that I am supposed to be sent.
I also check the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” when I leave comments, but I have yet to receive any e-mail notifications.
Dear Rose,
Newsflash…I’m not registered if you are referring to the password thing. I did not sign up for the comment notification either. Duh! I’m real low on the technical stuff, except if it has to do with a critical baby…then I CAN DO.
What a TREAT to have Ryan at this blog. Such a talented aura reader and a computer whiz…wow!
Just a note… Google does not allow bookmarks to be public or shared, at least not presently, so you cannot do “social bookmarking” with Google.
RYAN, at the risk of exposing myself as the techol-fossil of my fears, um, won’t bookmarks at Google have some benefit for helping readers find this blog? Educate us all, my friend, please.
No, Google bookmarks are private and cannot be shared. I searched the Google site, but it does not make any mention of if bookmarks are public or private. I have a Google account and I have not found anything pages that list other users’ bookmarks.
These pages offer unofficial information:

Wow, Ryan, your knowledge of computers is impressive.
I don’t know much about RSS feed, Slashdot effect, social bookmarking with Google, registering for the blog, or comment notification, to be honest.
I just visit the blog and see what is on the site. I am fascinating by all of these other possibilities… However, for me, at the present time, I’m not sure if it would be worth me spending the time to understand the rest or even do something with all the rest of it - it might be information overload for me. (One of the reasons I don’t really subscribe to newsletters - it takes time for me to just follow my personal e-mail and school e-mail effectively.)
