Hi Amy. Thanks for stopping by my blog. Feel free to leave additional comments on some of my posts anytime. I tweeted the article.
Love your site. I’m still working through the ins and outs of WordPress so I look forward to checking out both of your sites.
Sabrina,
So nice to see you here, and that is so nice of you to say. Thanks for stopping by and you can feel free to ask me any WordPress.com questions. I’ll do my best to find the answers for you. Hope to see you here again soon.
Loved reading the “5 WordPress Secrets…”. I must admit, I didn’t start with the first Lynda.com WordPress class….ok, ok I’ll go back. Obviously missed a few things by skipping it. 🙂
Sabrina,
Nice to see you here today. I stopped by your blog too. I tried to leave a comment but there must have been a glitch on WP because it said I wasn’t logged in. I’ll give it some time and try to comment later.
I started a WordPress.com users group on Diigo, to share bookmarks for articles with tips for WP.com users. I will send you an invite.
Thanks for your support.
Thanks for the heads up – all fixed. And here I was thinking no one liked me 😦
I’d definitely like to be involved, thanks for thinking of me.
Have a great day!!
Just saying hello,I NOTICE YOU ON BLIP.FM
Have a nice Halloween.”
Hi Samslick. Thanks for stopping by. You have a nice Halloween too.
i’m new at wordpress.com
your blog is interesting 🙂
is there a way to become a watcher to a blog?
can you help me out ?
Hi Krisbg,
On WordPress.com you can go to your dashboard at the top of the page, look for Blog Info and find Subscribe in the pull down menu.
Or you can just click the subscribe icon on this Contact page (I just added it for you).
Thanks for visiting and good luck with your blog.
Checking out your “Top 5 Blog Topics”, well done!
Hey there ileaneb,
I’ve been noticing you on twitter and see that you are an active member and you actually talk to your followers.
This is “seowritertony” from twitter. I’m starting a “retweet” and “digg” and “vote” group and have about 5 members right now that have many followers on twitter you can see who three of them are on my site. I’d like to essentially create a spiral | viral group that “retweets” and “diggs” content. This could later turn into something much bigger but I’d like to get a few people on board. Later I will be capping the group at 50 or 100, not sure yet. I’ve got a few folks interested and wanted to invite you to join.
I’ve got a simple blog post over at http://www.paidscribe.com/spiral-marketing/ as like a wannabe sign up sheet. 😀
Keep me posted,
Tony Tovar
Hi Ileane,
No time unfortunately to put together any Blogengage promotion ideas today – but hopefully tomorrow!
Also wanting to publish a blog post about your site and it would be a great help if you could send me a short description. I’d then use this as the basis of a post similar to http://whatawebsite.org/2009/11/29/fmsseocom/ (for example) . If you’d like have your website presented in this way – please send something asap. If not, no worries ( it’s just an offer I make to all selected “Sites Of The Day”)
Ok, all for now – must sleep after a long hard day!
Best wishes from Hamburg

Hey Ileane, I saw your comment on my Nuffnang’s blog post http://www.nuffnang.com.au/blog/2009/12/02/better-blogging-wordpress-vs-blogger/
Feel free to email me if you need any assistance/opinion about moving to a self-hosted WordPress!
Thanks Michael.
FYI – I included an excerpt from the nuffnang article in my post http://msileanesblog.blogspot.com/2009/12/blogger-struggles-against-offerings.html

That’s so nice of you to say. Thank you for your support also. We have much success to look forward to in the coming year. Cheers!
Hi Ileane, found your website in a round-about way from your post on the bytesforall forum on Showing Off Atahualpa.
Believe it or not, my blogsite is just a very customized Atahualpa theme.
I’m in the midst of a series of blog posts about customizing Atahualpa. Let me know if you have any specific questions.
Cheers,
Chase.
Hi Chase,
Thanks for visiting here. I hope you stopped by my BloggingWire where I’m using the Atahualpa theme. I do have a few questions. I hope you don’t mind me emailing them to you. Nice of you to visit.
Email away with your questions 🙂
It’s not so much knowing coding, you just have to know your way around Atahualpa.
I do have a question for you though.
How do you get the blog engage badge on this blog … do you just insert the code into every post that you write?
Thanks, Cheers,
Chase.
Hello Ms. Ileane,
I am new to blogging and I absolutely love your blog, as it is both informative and fun. I have a couple of questions. The social networking bar that is located at the bottom of each of your posts (I don’t know what it’s called,lol) How can I get that on my blog? Also, I was told that you can make “Category Pages”, whereas you can have page tabs at the top of your blog and you can assign specific posts to appear on those pages according to the category (like if I make a post and give it the category “funny videos” it will show under the “funny videos” PAGE. Do you know how to do this? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks sweetie,
Brandon
Hi Brandon,
I’d love to give you a hand. First I need to know what kind of blog you have. Are you using WordPress.com? Send me a link to your blog.

Hi Ileane,
Thanks for posting your comment on my blog post http://blog.shareresults.com/secrets-of-google/ Feeback like that is much appreciated!
You have a nice blog setup here and some interesting posts, good stuff.
Take care,

Hi Olland,
I was trying to find you on Twitter or Google Buzz so that I could follow you. Are you on there yet? Thanks for coming by.
Hey Ileane,
I am writing from MyLikes, a social media/twitter advertising company that connects influencers on the web to advertisers. I wanted to send you an invite to be a premium influencer on MyLikes.
This is an invite-only program that allows power Twitter users such as yourself, to make money by creating Sponsored Likes /ads for advertisers they like and post them to Twitter. You get to set a price per tweet and accept / reject advertiser offers and write your own Sponsored Likes/tweets. There is an extremely low minimum payout ($2) and as an advertising network we don’t take a cut.
http://mylikes.com/p
We are also running a contest to win a Apple iPad. Given your following, you should have a significant chance of winning it.
Let me know if you need any help in signing up for this program.
Thanks,
Serena Davis.

Hi Serena,
Thanks for the invitation. I’m a member of MyLikes already and I’d like to say more about it on any of my other blogs that have ads running on them. In fact if you take a look at http://msileanesblog.blogspot.com you’ll see I have the banner up. I plan to do a post soon. You can email me at msileane@gmail.com if you would like to talk further.
