    Anytime, George. I know I should apply butt to chair and just write and write. But the great stuff out there, they have a special way of invigorating one's writing. That's my number excuse...Oh, I've already got it via email. Thanks, George!
  • Dave Doolin · 2 months ago
    Thanks for the mention!

    I have a bunch more goodies in queue... so much to do, so little time!

    This a great template for reviews. I really like your paragraph summary, then the list of links.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Yeah, I know. You deserve a stand-alone post because of the great resources you've posted. And there's more from the drawing board!
  • Brad Shorr · 2 months ago
    Hi Jan, I like your inventive (and well executed) approach to Twitter network building - thank you for including me. I may have to steal your idea!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Thanks, Brad. Really? I'd be flattered if you do, considering I've adopted
    several of your blogging ideas previously. :)

    one...two...three...

    thank you for the promotion. hehehe. na-surprise ako to see my name in your post. thank you, thank you...(emo mode)
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Yes, Father. A group hug will be nice for times like this.... Kahit wala
    kang Twitter, okay lang. Di na papalag mga yan. ",)

    Hi Jan,

    You've been busy in blogosphere.

    Thank you for posting this great list of resources and thank you for including me. I am humbled and honored to be included.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Anytime, Barbara. ",)
  • DiTesco · 2 months ago
    Hi Jan. Once again, thanks for the mention and for yet giving another list of awesome people to follow. At this rate, I will have to unfollow many undeserving Tweeple from my list, hehe.

    BTW, I meant to ask you, have you set up some sort of filter because, I have having a hard time to track your tweets. I have you marked VIP on both Tweetdeck and Hootsuite, but I can not see your tweets. Any thoughts?
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Nope, no filters for me. I can't tweet and stay online past 12 midnight that's why there's a drop in my number of tweets. It's been like that for several days now. And now my pc at work gave up the ghost on me. Maybe needs a reformat now. :(

    Jan,

    Another terrific post, maybe too much that it might attract new plagiarists our there. Well, I'm sure you made the necessary precautions already.

    Excellent choice of posts from our dear friends, well, give me time to drop by their sites and we'll be friends soon enough. The blogosphere is shrinking everyday, thanks to twitter and to the other social networks, one could easily spot a friendly face amidst the crowd.

    By the way, I would say that these are the best posts yet because they could still out do their own work. Wouldn't you agree?

  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Nothing by way of preventing it, but I installed a WP footer plugin that points to my blog in my RSS feed. And I put a link to a previous post, too... Yeah, I believe in that. Doc Z. The longer we stay at writing the better we become at it. :)
  • Dave Doolin · 2 months ago
    At some point I intend on making enough money to outsource plagiarism checking. There's tools for it, some of which are free, but I'd rather write for now.

    And I'm starting to get far enough up in SERPs that it would be difficult for very many sites to permanently game me out of my own material. That's the benefit of cranking out quality content.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    It's so easy to get distracted by these plagiarists. There's a fine balance to be made between protecting your work and getting you closer to achieving your goals in blogging. Yeah, if one's consistent in cranking out quality work you'd also helping the search engines figure out you're the real deal and reward you in SERPs eventually. That's a great point, Dave.
  • minniemadz · 2 months ago
    Hi Jan, I have been to some of your #followfridays. I love The Curse of the Billy Goat too :D
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Yeah, I noticed that. Went back today to verify the URL and I saw your comment. Thanks! ",)
  • elmot · 2 months ago
    Wow, I am number two! Awesome. I am now addicted too with this awesome stuff...

    Thanks for including me on your lists of great posts to read....that China Man is still flaunting that post I made. He gots the balls after all the commenting spree you did with DiTesco, and include me too.

    To ReyJr...all shall be well bro.

    Wow, what a way to get back at Doc Z after all being left out after 62 posts and counting at the elite group of inter-galactic blogging police. LOL

    I am imagining how thrilled Doc Z beside me reading this post...his stunt surely worked out well, wahhhahhaha!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    I bet that splogger is not showing our comments, right? What a jerk. What to do now? Hmmmm

    Well, this is not a makeup post for Doc Z or for anybody. He's written great poems last week and sadly, I can only pick one.
  • DiTesco · 2 months ago
    Sorry to stump in here, but it is my strong belief that the site is not managed by a human. My comment is visibly under moderation and despite some efforts to track his IP and DNS, I am still facing some minor setbacks. Did not give up as of yet, and closely monitoring the situation, lol.
  • Dee · 2 months ago
    Hey, enjoyed reading your blog I may reference it in one of my upcoming posts -- if you don't mind.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Sure, no problem, Dee. Feel free to do so. :)
  • Jena Isle · 2 months ago
    Hello Jan,

    Thanks for the link. I just dropped by to say hello. Been having toxic days at work....Another enterprising post. Will come back later. Trying to figure out something. Keep going.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Uh-oh. What's wrong? You've lost something? You came here and you forgot what you're looking for? Ahehehe.

    Northern Luzon is being battered by this typhoon. How are you bearing up? Is there flooding in Angeles?

    My computer at work refused to come to life this afternoon. That's why I can't reply to comments immediately.
  • Jena Isle · 2 months ago
    Where are you?
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Present! ahahaha. Maliligo tayo sa ulan? Iyong anak mo si Lyle aalis na daw pa Dubai. Nagpaalam na ba sa iyo?
  • Jena Isle · 2 months ago
    I'm back. It has been one extremely toxic week what with final exams and the book...whew! But all's well that ends well, so I'm on a slow mode right now. Only for a while though, I will have to attend to work again, even on a weekend. Hey, I'm griping here. enough.

    You're becoming creative now Jan, this post is the first of its kind I've seen so far. What better way to connect and honor your twitter friends than to write a post about them and give them some linky love.

    This post should be tweeted and retweeted because it deserves all the RTs it could receive. Way to go!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Thanks, Jen. This one works for me because it's less work for me in Twitter. I only now have to thank those who cited me in their #followfriday tweets and I'm done. :)

    You should check out Ditesco's Weekly Echo - a round up of links. He's got beautiful thumbnails of the blogs he mentioned. Another great idea. Looks good on the page.
  • JeD Chan · 2 months ago
    Thanks so much LJ!

    It's an honor to be part of your post. :) I'm really proud to have a friend like you. I'm always open for my Lolo Jan..anytime! :)

    More power! Keep shinin'! :D
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Anytime, Jed. :)
  • Roy · 2 months ago
    thank you very much Jan!

    still short for words, but I'm sure you know that this is very much appreciated.

    thanks!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    You're welcome, Roy... By the way, I've seen the cover of the Jen's book on
    Doc Z's blog. Handsome looking book. Have you got a copy already?
  • Roy · 2 months ago
    I was supposed to get it this afternoon, but something came up. now, I have to wait until monday :(
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Ah well, you're just a heartbeat away anyway. ",)
  • darbs · 2 months ago
    Congratulations to the best post twitters!

    hayz, when can I tweet baka maisama sa best post (heheheh)
    Just kidding...

    Hey, i've noticed the congratulations phenomenon lately.

    First here comes Pres. Obama with his 2009 Nobel Prize. - Congratulations number 1.

    Second here comes Dr. Z with his new published book - Congratulations number 2.

    Then this one...

    Most of all, congratulations Jan for being thoughtful!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Thanks, Darbs. One technicality, my friend. The book is Jena's child. She had compiled the creative work of her blogger friends from all over and had it published out of her pocket. But Doc Z and several of your friends are contributing writers in it so in a sense, Doc Z is a published author as well.
  • darbs · 2 months ago
    Jan, thanks for pointing this out. (lalabas na lalabas talaga ang pagka-journalistic minded mo. un bang walang b.s.)

    Sigi na nga.. Congratulations to Dr. Z and to all of my contributing writer friends.
  • jhongmed · 2 months ago
    Hi Jan, just visiting your blog. I'm trying to cope up with you guys(#jedibloggers #pg50)... Oh boy, you're really active to blogging. But until now I'm still trying to manage things up. A lot of ideas but such lil' time.

    Nice post! Congratz to all!
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    We have the same 24 hours, Jhong. But you'll get used to it eventually. :)
  • reyjr · 2 months ago
    Hi LJ! Once again you've floored me with your generosity. Thank you! I am much flattered by the great company here.

    Visited Fr. Felmar's post and found it very interesting and engaging. Who knows, he just might change my mind about priests. ;) (No offense po Fr. Felmar - just had some bad run-ins with priests in the past.)
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    I did? Ahahaha. Rest assured, the floor is not flooded with murky
    waters... Hey, that's an intriguing story waiting to be told if you haven't
    already. Time to raid the archives again? Ahehehe. I hope it gets written
    about. ",)
  • reyjr · 2 months ago
    Wahaha, baka magalit sakin CBCP wag na lang. :)
    Suffice it to say not all of them are very fatherly no. lol.
  • jangeronimo · 2 months ago
    Okay, duly noted. Some things are better left unwritten about. Only
    whispered about.... Kidding! Ahahaha
  • Jaypee Habaradas · 2 months ago
    Awesome roundup of links and articles. Will try to check 'em all out later. Thanks for sharing! :D
  • TrinaMb · 2 months ago
