Actually, he is a wealth of blogging information beyond just the link I've shared.<br /><br />Best wishes on your blogging endeavors, Dawn.

For instance, if I take a particular section of one of my posts, enclose it in quote marks and search for the exact phrase on Google, it will come up in the results...in two <i>other</i> sites. Neither of which has my permission to re-post my articles.<br /><br />Second, I can see from my analytics that, for some strange reason, I am deeply beloved by voracious readers in the Ukraine--well, at least that's the latest country to pump my numbers up well over a hundred more than my <i>daily</i>norm. (Incidentally, if you are reading this in Ukrainian, you have my invitation to come read this post on its original site!)<br /><br />What prompted this post is that I'd like to give my readers--my <i>real</i> readers--a head's up about some small statements that I'll be adding to my posts and pages in hopes of deflecting some of this bleed-off. To you who come to this site legitimately, the changes will (hopefully) be barely perceptible...but may seem silly at first, until you know the back story.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-25088419159465129582014-12-29T08:43:18.665-08:002014-12-29T08:43:18.665-08:00I think it happens more than we realize.
