So, here I was by the dawn’s early light (not really- there isn’t any yet) perusing my daily reads, only to find that Muriel Jacques has nominated me for the Liebster Award... To the best of my recollection, this is my third go-round with this…so, it must be that my name starting with A makes me an easy choice…

Don’t worry- that’s only the sound my bones make as I walk. Or, maybe I mistook that sound for the wheeze emanating from my lungs.

Things have been changing. The Ann Arbor News is no longer a daily- but exists on the web. Newsweek has basically disappeared (but would probably still be on the newsstands- at least today- had Sid Harman not met his demise.)

Since I research everything I write (getting real references, comparing data and research from various sources, checking facts that I proffer to my clients routinely to give you the reference, etc.) each one took about an hour.

I don’t normally write about blogging practices or ways to make your blog better. But, I made these changes at the suggestion of a “pen-pal”, Michael Hyatt (www.michaelhyatt.com). Michael writes a fantastic blog about leadership and publishing (from a Christian perspective). And, some other pen-pals suggested I share them with everyone. So…I will tell you how to engage your readers more effectively by changing your “About” pages. The key action items to consider (not once- but often) are:
