I agree about the saying sorry and there is a lesson in that for all amateurs finding their way like yours truly.

I am very pleased that the conversation has started and thanks for that.

All the best

Best of luck with this sir, and my best piece of advice to you can only be – be yourself.

Remember that bloggers are people too, people on the other end of a keyboard, reading the words you’ve written. If you agree with them, tell them – they’d like to know the effort they’ve put into their blog is appreciated.

If you disagree, tell them why. Just like in real life where it’s not good enough to just say “you’re wrong” and leave it at that, a well structured discussion or debate is exactly what a blogger wants to see happening. It’s about starting the conversation by sharing your ideas.

Ammado were very foolish in what they did. (If you don’t know, have a read here) but were even more foolish in how they didn’t react to it. It’s very easy to just say sorry – it’s a simple word and can make such a difference. This is what I advised.

When talking to bloggers, just talk to the people there. There’s no “blogosphere”, there are people who blog. Say hello, tell them honestly what you’re thinking and how you think they may be able to help and then thank them profusely until they do. It’s a simple but powerful lesson.

Just say hello
