Over the past week or so, traffic on The Isle of Man has increased exponentially. Some of you have come out of the woodwork and left comments in the comment section. Some of you haven't been bold enough yet, but you're thinking about it and that's the first step.
Whether you've been checking in faithfully just to read the content, you've left feedback, you've followed on Twitter or just told friends about the blog, I just wanted to say thank you!
I'd like to take this opportunity to open the comment section to you. Do you have a blog or personal website you'd like to promote? Have a cause you'd like to bring awareness to? Want to leave a comment to say how much you've enjoyed The Isle of Man or how you've totally hated it?
Go for it.
Good morning, Kevin!
ReplyDeleteI love what you write about your thoughts! I admire anyone that takes the initiative to actually create a blog and get going!
I LOVE to write. Just ask ANY of my friends that get emails or messages from me! My pastor lovingly calls them novels. My son says, "will you reply to "so and so", but just a couple of sentences, NOT one of your "Teri Starbuck" messages! LOL
I am one of the ones that has NOT taken the initiative to get a blog started. My life has been such that it would make a great book I'm told, to give people hope that they can survive anything. But here I am still just reading and loving other's blogs instead.
I do have a few of my "blogs" stored on my Myspace site, but I've moved on to the world of FB.
Feel free to check it out:

Thank you for being here!
Kevin, I like the direction of this new blog. Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteTeri, thanks for posting. I look forward to when the life story finally gets published. ;)
ReplyDeleteRob, thanks man. Since you didn't pimp your site yourself, I'll do it for ya.
Everyone should read Rob's post from yesterday: "Tebowing for Tebow." Great stuff:

You know, Kevin, one day when they write the Amazing History of Amuse or Bemused, you will have a chapter named after you: The Tweet Smell of Success - The Inspiration of Kevin Haggerty.
ReplyDeleteAfter starting my blog, I gave in and got a Twitter account. YOU were my first follower whom I have never met. Lesser minds might think this trivial, but when I was trying to pierce the veil of Webcognition (the definition is in my blog), having a voluntary follower means something.
And since you opened the door to shameless self promotion, please everyone check out http://amuseorbemused.com - Observational humor - funny haha / funny strange. Also, follow me on Twitter @jtadamson . You won't achieve Kevin Haggerty type fame by doing so, but you'll be glad you joined in!
JT - Fantastic stuff. Glad to have played a role in your blogging aspirations. Hope this plug brings you some traffic!
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting :)
The Adventure Continues... now you're the first person to re-tweet me. I guess your next chapter in my book will be "Advance or Retweet: Haggerty Strikes Again."
ReplyDeleteApologies to anyone (specifically Teri and Rob) who left comments earlier and had them removed. I just added Disqus commenting to the blog. It's a big upgrade, but I didn't realize I'd lose my old content. I'd love for you guys to re-post if you don't mind!
