This view places way to much emphasis on writing. It isn’t that writing isn’t important, but if you write 5 posts per week that no one knows about as opposed to writing 1 post per week that get spread around the web, which do you think will be more effective? Network With Peers There are a bunch of ways to promote your content. Getting on the front page of Digg or Delicious is great, but you will probably have better results over the long term by focusing on good old fashion networking.

If you’re blogging just for fun (hell, I am), this rant is not for you. It also contains snarky arrogance, so don’t read it if you’re not prepared to admit how wrong you are and how right I am about everything. Namaste. Forget about sure-fire tips to wild blogging success, there are really only two secrets to be a successful blogger and I’ve found them: 1. Write well. 2. Or be a cute and nubile girl who blogs lots of photos of herself. To everyone else who says you don’t need to write well to be a good blogger: that’s bloody stupid (cute and nubile girl photo-bloggers excluded). Blogging is a written medium and it is read.

I love the idea of instant publication, the immediate gratification of writing down one's thoughts and then sending them out into the blogosphere instantaneously. Blogging is now an accepted form of communication and instant journalism and I am happy to still be riding that wave. Nursing blogs have proliferated over the last few years, and a list of some of my favorites can be found on the right-hand side of this blog's homepage.Several writing opportunities have come along due to my involvement in blogging, and I'm happy to report that I will actually have my first piece of writing published in print by Kaplan Publishing at some time in the near future.

Autumn has indeed arrived. The winds are shaking the trees, the leaves are swirling in the air and tumbling haphazardly onto the ground, the skies are streaked with October clouds. I never thought I would like family practice, but I am enjoying it (regardless of my attending). Can I do this for the rest of my life? I don’t know. I wonder if I will, truly, one day look back at these days and curse myself for not enjoying them more. 2003: Conquest.

The Pulitzer Prize winning poet had a rocky start, as he writes in his book, “Orphan Factory: Essays and Memoirs.” ” ‘Your poems are just crazy images strung arbitrarily together,’ my pals complained, and I’d argue back: ‘Haven’t you heard about surrealism and free association?’ Bob Burleigh, my best friend, had a degree in English from the University of Chicago and possessed all the critical tools to do a close analysis of any poem. His verdict was: ‘Your poems don’t mean anything.’ ” But James Billington, librarian of Congress, says that the rang... aids-write.org blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=783011 Mon, 06 Aug 2007 16:54:03 +0100 783011 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=638386&cid=t_106453_140_f&fid=35443&url=http%3A%2F%2Fthesplinteredmind.blogspot.com%2F2007%2F05%2Ftake-that-insecurity.html So much for believing that nobody liked my blog...Sometime last night my 50,000th visitor dropped by. This is amazing to me. For a blog that isn't about technology, porn, or politics I consider myself quite lucky to have come this far in such a short time. I want to thank all my readers, all my subscribers, and especially all my commenters. That you take time to read and comment on my writings simply blows my mind every week. I promise to keep the articles coming. In fact, I've been thinking about this blog's fate over the upcoming busy Summer and instead of cutting back on articles and postings I believe I will cut back my word count. Currently, articles are limited to 900 words. This has been an artificial challenge of mine to help me not rant for eons over here. It keeps me on topic, ke...
