Yep, Problogger Darren Rowse And Me – We’re Like This. Like This, I Tell Ya.
Ass Kicking, Blogging | Posted by Jannie on 19 July 2009 @ 11:37 AM 54 Comments
It was this past Wednesday, about 1:30 p.m. Central Standard Time.
I had just finished yoga and a bean taco. Kelly had played and sang “Ain’t She Sweet” on piano 39 times and was settling into Spongebob as l was logging onto Darren Rowse’s ProBlogger.
Knowing full well that Melbourne 12:07 a.m. was hours ago and I’d have zero chance at being even remotely close to Darren’s first commenter, I was still looking forward to gleaning something great on blogging… when what to my wondering big eye did appear at the top of THE super-super blogging A-lister’s post – but MY NAME linked in flashing lights. I’m serious! (Well, maybe not about the flashing lights, but it sure felt like it.) Little Jannie Funster featured and linked on ProBlogger in a post called How To Improve your Blog – Learn How To Take Criticism Well.
Holy freaking cow. And calf. And a 3-legged goat or two.
It felt nice to be shouted out by ProBlogger for something I’d said in a comment the day before and probably always. Yes, upon my deathbed I shall still be basking in the glow of my ProBlogger link. “Hey Dearie, pass the prune juice and step up my morphine, will ya? And did I ever mention the Summer of ‘09 when ProBlogger linked me up, when my traffic zoomed from 300 daily uniques to over 1000 for two days in a row? Oh, I did? Sorry.”
Hey, maybe it’s just the first of more links to come if I submit something cool as a guest post to ProBlogger. Or to other bloggers. Hey, why not?! The mind’s the limit. And if I can do it, so can YOU.
Anonymous, I wish I hadn’t spammed your comment on my Blogging Addiction Survey post, else I’d email to get your physical address so I could drive or fly over Right Now to give you a big ol’ bear-hug, yep squeeze the stuffing right out of you. Sounds like you could use some hugs.
And Anonymous, you might just have jump-started my Twitter recalcitrance too. I bought “Twitter For Dummies” yesterday. Thanks! I now owe you two. Or three.

Now that’s funny right there……….I am still squinting did I really make it two times or am I missing something.
You are such a blogging addict jannie. You need therapy. Don’t feel bad though, I need therapy too. (just not about a blogging addiction) Why do you think I am studying to become a psychologist? Free counseling sister, free counseling.

Oh Grannie,
I am really glad you were featured on ProBlogger. Talk about getting some blog exposure!
This phrase is classic Jannie:
“Holy freaking cow. And calf. And a 3-legged goat or two”.
Your deathbed paragraph is totally hilarious!!
Isn’t it funny how Anonymous left you a nasty comment and you did something positive with the experience and it landed you on ProBlogger? A classic example of how you are great at turning negatives into positives. I agree… It did sound to me like Anonymous could use some hugs.
Holy cow, Jannie… did you really buy “Twitter For Dummies”? That’s awesome. I really think twitter could be a great way to promote your music. I know twitter has been enormously helpful on the endometriosis cause (and other causes I support). It has also driven lots of traffic to my site. I think your one-liners are a perfect match for 140 character tweets. If your computer’s memory can handle TweetDeck, I highly recommend it and it’s free. It makes it SO much easier than tweeting from the web.
I love it when a negative action or comment gets turned into things that are positive!
Jeanne
P.S. I’m still working on the post which will tell the world yet another reason why you are an awesome, thoughtful, sweet, kind human being. So stay tuned!

Hi Jannie I’m just sitting here wondering about the differences and similarities between Hilliary Clinton and Salmon Chase. And wondering how my IRA will fare now that WaMu is gone. Don’t know why. Stormy weather, I guess.
Anyway, keep up the good work, you are a gem.

Congrats on the link mention, and welcome to the world of being special enough for someone to single you out in a blog post.
As for Twitter, good luck. I’m on Facebook myself, but I don’t go overboard on it like some people do. I use it for simply staying in touch with close friends that work in state government that don’t have the ability to stay in touch with through normal channels.
Besides, if I used Twitter, I would certainly find a way to get hip deep in….ummmm….mud.

By the way, thanks you for the laughter too. Hope all is as awesome as can be!

Hey, Tammy – you made if to first again, wow what’s your secret? Ahh, psychology, cool. How long before you have your degree and will you go on to even higher learning? As to my blogging addiction, I fully accept and revel in it!
Jeanne: Hey cutie, it certainly was a big suprise for little Grannie Jannie. Fun! And ain’t it the thing with negatives turning into positives? The thing about Anonymous’ comment is it wasn’t the normal kind of spam, and linked to a site that didn’t sell anything. I wonder if anyone else has gotten that exact comment? “Your writing is atrocious. Quite while you’re behind.” Have you seen that one in your comments? Weird. I guess I’m just special!
And thanks again for that ProBlogger book! I’ve read it and gotten a ton of great tips. I’ll divulge more in the future on what I’ve learned. Oh, and yes I do have Tweetdeck!
Hey Lynn, his site is really something. And his archives are Absolute Treasures. So many tricks and treats of the blogging trade. Plus, he seems like such a nice guy, a part-time preacher with two very young boys. A nice bloke. Oh, and he generally posts every day at 12:07 his time in Oz. Please let me know if you checked him out and what you think. (His site is almost as good as yours.)
Lane: You made me Google Salmon Chase, a politician from way way back, I see. Oh yes, I’m a true gem — more like an unpolished rock, but I promise I’ll keep working on me. Oh and darned WAMU, we banked with them ’cause of the low to no fees and of course Chase took them over and it’s not a pretty sight now. And funny, my hubby got not a cent of any bail-out money. Did you?
Hey Betsy, actually Darren’s flying me and my 2 musician pals over to play some of his private parties. And has advanced me a ton of cash for my 2nd CD. And bought me a Mercedes.
K: Hey! How you feeling? Hope it’s gogin good. The Problogger link, I never saw that one coming. He’s actually got a weekly series started now – the best and worst blogging moments of the week, that’ll be a real hoot to check in on I’m sure. Pretty creative.
Hey Mike. Always great to see you here. I imagine I’m going to read through most of his archives too. I myself access blogs I like via bookmarks, but I wonder how that compares and conrasts with subscribing to blogs and using a feeder?
Weyrd1: Yes, I’m seriously going to bite the Twitter bullet, seems there is a why and wherefore to it. I’ll give it the olde college trye anyway, and let you know my findings. So I’m assuming you have not signed up for a Twitter account?
I did Stumbel Upon an interesting page today how Twitter can really drive a lot of blog traffic. So, what the hey…
G: It was quite the little smile-maker for me. Interesting what you say about going overboard. With all the social media there are out there and all the socialites on them,I really think it could drive a person nuts, if not evolve our species somehow into something weird. What do you think? Are we in danger of overload from the Internets? Will it alter our genes?
Caity: I guess next I’ll have to do a post with a photo of me reading my Twitter For Dummies book. I am certainly going to try to make some sense of it. And I found (but now can’t pull up,) a really great page on the net today how Twitter does not really cut into, but enhances blogging, ’cause I luvs me mah bloggin’ and doesn’t want to be stopping it, and I think you’re a blogger for the long long haul too, right?
Jeanne: But what if he thinks I’m bugging him. I’m really kind of shy. I am!!!!! Okay, what would you put in the 140 characters to him about that? You mean a direct message, right? I think I’ve finally learned atout DM as opposed to a general tweet. Thanks for your eternal support. Did you burn your wood yet? I hear it’s been cold up North. Woudl love to be ther with you. Oh, and blue bunny – he is very very different in many many ways – many to yet be disclosed to everybody.
Happy Lotus: He (or she,) was a total total blessing. I LOVE ANONYMOUS SO MUCH!!! Wow, was responsible for me getting a little shout-out from Problogger. I wish I’d have more bad things happen to bring such amazing luck. Come on trials and tribulations — make myday! how ‘about you. You ever get any blog comments like that? Or that one specifically. I think it came in last Tuesday.

Awesome, way awesome and lots of readers – even more awesome…I am glad you are guesting for someone else this week and not just a shout out…
I just got out of WaMu because they are the bank which when taken over by Chase would not let me use my credit card and by food or drink, when I was teaching in Hawaii -and staying at the HILTON…so they started blaming me for the problem – I looked up their human rights violations record…found out they were #2 behind Bank of America…I switched banks a week later.
Better to be associated with Pro-Blogger shout outs…
and positive, good fun, and astute actions…
Neat post…and thank you for correcting the spelling on my post the other day – such talent, such talent and GRACE

Hi Jannie. Cool stuff, that shout-out. I’m subscribed to Darren’s blog but that was one of the posts I hadn’t read yet, so I popped over to read THE comment. You know what? I don’t consider that criticism — I consider it out and out harassment. But still, I commend you on your handling of Anonymous — great demonstration of turning a negative into a positive.

J.D. Hah! YOU are my blogging world, all you peeps. And I’m on page 19 in the Twitter book now, slogging along. Waiting for some ah-ha moments. Let’s keep ecah other apprised, okay?
Hey Davina: I think someone was just jealous “mah haid,” ya think? Not everyone can carry off perming their bangs.
Hey Yaya, and I hope she doesn’t burn it all on one night, but dole it out over the long NY winter.

Glenn: Well, I’d avoid Twitter like the plague if I were you, with an effect on your digestive system like that. Hah, I’m just a very little blogging gal, but learning more every day about the “biz.” And love creating these mind-numbing posts for all my buds.
Lisa, how great to “see” you again. You enjoying these cooler low 90s temps of late – heaven, eh? The comment said… “Your writing is atrocious. Quit while you’re behind.” I deleted it shortly after I read it, but it did stick in my mind.
On 20 July 2009 at 12:17 pm Lane Savant said,
Salmon P. Chase was Lincoln’s secretary of the treasury. It was his expertise that funded the Civil War, one of the worst things that ever happened on this continent. He also founded the Chase bank, which may turn out another worst thing. What Hilliary Clinton has to do with it is that Lincoln chose for his cabinet all the people who opposed him in the election. His main rival was William H. Seward just as Hilliary was Barack’s and he chose Seward as his Secretary of state just as Barack chose Hilliary.

Hey Jannie,
I’ve never gotten a comment like that but to be fair, in my day to day life, I have had people tell me negative stuff in a subtle way. But I am usually too clueless to read into it, until like ten hours later, it will hit me. So I guess that is a good thing. At any rate, I am so thrilled that what could have been a negative turned out really awesome. Talk about taking lemons and turning it into lemon custard pie!

It just goes to show you two things. First of all, you never know who’s going to notice it when you attempt to add TRUE value to a post like on problogger. Your comment of actual substance probably stood out amongst all of the “Great article, I wrote something like this on my blog.. blah blah blah” comments, and Darren was moved by it.
Secondly, you never know where the spark for momentum is going to come from. In this case, it came from someone who was trying to bring you down, and it TOTALLY FREAKIN’ BACKFIRED. lol. This was an entertaining post, Jannie.

Lane: Oh, now I get it. I saw on Wikipedia soemthing about slavery with Chase, but didn’t really understand it. And I don’t understnad politics much ‘cept politicians really love getting elected.
Tess: The way I see it – you with your joyous youthful buoyancy, tho perhaps a few years older than I, will probabably be on your last legs as my contemporary. And I don’t plan on going into a nursing home. I’ll be in my mansion with my faithful nurses at my side who will steal my jewels while I sleep.
Dot: Yep, it was pretty cool. To me anyway, as I’m quite shallow and little things like that make me feel important.
Nadia: I don’t get too much negativity at all, tho I didi when I was younger and wish I’d known how to kick emotional boo-tay back then as I do today. Oh, and I do love lemon pie. And key lime pie. And cherry pie. And apple pie. And strawberry pie. And chocolate cream pie. And. And. And.
Hey Kath! Quite a fluke really. And then someone later on in the post branded me a Z-Lister. Little do they know, I’m at least a X or a Y lister! People can be so… um… interesting.
Lisa: I did get a few drops on my windsheild about 6:45 p.m. Still waiting for the deluge. Yeah, I’m trying to figure that one out, the source of the comment. I think if it were a spam, it would at least have included a link to a site so they could get a hit, or whatever. But it just led to Google’s homepage, as I recall. Who the freak knows. Just lovin’ that Anonymous.
Paige: dis messige furst part is from me, blue bunnie. I eats lettis fried in cabbage oil. my doctor seys is okie-dokkie.
And this is Jannie speaking now. Paige, my glow is still upon me.
And how is the carpal tunnels? What about a new kind of keyboard? I guess you probably already thought about that.
Vered: But what in the heck could I write about? How to fling your bra whilst answering comments? I’m still a relatively inexperienced blogger but you never know, an idea could hit me.
G: I should try that – turning off the computer. Actually I was again away from the computer at length. Home internet was down from Saturday afternoon to Sunday late morning. I was able to publish this post via the wireless down at the local coffeeshop. I was a little ticked at Tiem Warner, as could not feed my addiction for a while. But generally TW is reliable and fast.
Trey: I have to admit it did turn out not too bad at all. And I do want to write well, which really can be learned. Want my prose flow like a great unstoppable river of truth and beauty that brings immense joy and abundance to all seekers of wonder.
But mostly I just let my thoughts fly on intuition. And caffeine.
Paul Maurice Martin: Well, well, well, what a nice surprise to find a new commenter and one who does not say nasty things off the bat:) Now Paul, you know you’ve totlaly piqued my interest as to what your blogging-related deathbed line is. Please share and don’t be shy – you know it’s just you and me here chatting. And I peeked at your blog, neat. Will see you there soon.

The difference is that, with a reader, you get notified with each new post and, if someone’s not blogging, you don’t have to go to their blog only to see the same old stale top post.
If you’re on top of things, you can sometimes get an early comment in even on the busiest of blogs. I don’t comment on Darren’s blog, for example, if there is already forty or fifty comments. Darren might read all of his comments but commenters aren’t usually going to read past the first few.

Lance: You makes me laff and laff with that comment. I actually WANT to try that. Could it help me keep up with Super-Lance and get to be Top Commenter on blogs too? It would be worth any twitches, drooling or lingering spasms.

Congrats! You SO deserve it – and I bet Darren was totally like – wow, a real comment on my site.
I could leave annoying anonymous comments if you think that might help
