Mental note to next year, I guess? <br /><br />It's Friend Friday. So, without further ado (or any ado, for that matter...should I be adding some more ado?), here are the questions and my answers...feel free to check out others' responses <a href="http://www.modlychic.com/2011/04/friend-friday-rules-of-engagemen.html" target="blank">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>April 1: Rules of Engagement -- blogging etiquett, unwritten "rules" to help new bloggers, etc.</em></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>1. Guest posts are a good way to gain new exposure. What do you think is the appropriate way to go about securing a guest spot?</em> Good question. I don't know; I've never solicited myself as a guest poster. I'm happy to do it (and have obliged others when they've asked me), but I just never really thought about trying to secure one. If this question is referring to asking someone to guest-post on my blog, well, I've never done that, either. I'm helpful, I know.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>2. Leaving comments is essential to growing your blog. But how can you leave a comment without coming across as ‘Follow Me. Follow Me!’? </em>Those types of comments don't get published on my blog because they're...how do I put it diplomatically...annoying. When visiting others' blogs, I will say something genuine in every comment I leave--a response to their text, their outfit, their photos. If I can say something funny, all the better. Then I'll leave my URL and sometimes a brief invite to stop by my blog. I don't even bring up the "following" bit in my comments, though. Seems a little tacky.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>3. We’ve all gotten a mass email at one time or another asking for blog exposure, a link exchange, etc… But the mass emails don’t work. How do you make your email stand out from the crowd? </em>Heh...I actually haven't gotten one of these... I'm popular like that.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>4. In interacting with other bloggers where do you draw the line between seeking support and begging for exposure? </em>Don't get me wrong, I love leaving comments and supporting other bloggers (and I love it when others do the same for me--it's a community, after all), but I simply ignore the fake stuff that comes my way. And I myself am not fake ('cept for two teeth), so I'm safe that way.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>5. What’s one rule of engagement error you made and how have you remedied that? </em>I wrote an entire post in response to an unkind Anonymous comment, which now I can't even remember what it was. That was an over-the-top reaction (even though the post was, in my opinion, funny), and I've learned to scale back my knee-jerk response of taking things personally. Don't know if that answers the question, but there you have it. A lesson.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy happy Friday!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Want this look?
