For My Friend

Topics: advice

I have this online friend who had just set-up her blog. Where she advices others. And mind you she has no ads or anything like that. But for last few days she hardly had any one coming for advice. I tried to help but couldn't. So here I request you to please visit her blog and ask something. She is a newbie and I suppose she needs our help for her genuine effort. Please consider as a goodwill gesture towards her by BC community.

      Although I am accused of "spamming". Here I made an genuine plea in favor of friend and got hardly any replies. And when I "spammed" I was flooded. Wow!

    I went there Kim!
    1. kim88
      Please leave a comment and ask something which she can advice on and please don't tell anything about me.
    2. kim88
      Thanks for your kind words. But really speaking she would like it if she had some queries to answer.
    3. hishaman
      Oh, I think I miss understand you then, sorry for that!

      Its all right. We have had many misunderstandings lately.
  3. kim88
    So how was it?
    1. daniel23
      The best thing ever. EVER.
    2. timethief
      lol ............
  4. kim88
    Thanks have you asked her something? She really enjoys I chatted with her she is simple girl. And hardly knows nuances of blogging.
    1. daniel23
      I was overwhelmed by the coolness before I got a chance.
    2. kim88
      Should I take it as a compliment?

    I personally think it looks far too pink and the advice is superficial at best.

    Is it aimed at teenage girls?
    1. timethief
      Hmmm ..... I would say that this blog is aimed at pre-pubescent girls. Why was it that kim88 wanted us to visit this bubblegummer's pink blog again?
    2. kim88
      Its OK but at least you ask any thing. As I have said she is new and needs encouragement. If you feel Its too pink tell her. But I have just one request to all don't be harsh to her.

      @kim88
      Here's the deal. Please don't speak for your friends. Just speak for yourself. If your friend wants help she can post a thread and ask for it, okay? That way we can speak to her directly and she can indicate exactly what she would like help with.

      For example, if she wants sources for free blogger templates to replace the one she has you can find those links in the searchbox. I answered a question on this yesterday so they won't be hard to find.

      @kim88
      When your friend asks for advice in a forum thread I will be glad to provide it and I'm sure others will too. As we don't know what she needs or wants advice on and we don't know what her goals are, until she speaks to us the only advice we can give will be subjective and will vary from person to person.
    4. kim88
      @timethief
      where are you going I said she has a advice blog. Of the changes in template I will help her and lead her to your given site.
    5. melindaville
      I actually DO think that people should be able to ask whatever they want on this forum. No one has to give advice if he/she doesn't want to--but if others want to give advice to this friend, what's the problem? I don't see one.

      Thanks

      In the case of my blog, this site BC will not allow my co-bloggers to comment or post discussions because we share a blog. I therefore have to speak for my friends (co-bloggers) until this policy is changed.
    8. timethief
      @fearless
      Have you read kim88's other forum posts? As far as I know theirs is not a co-blogger situation.
  6. melindaville
    You should tell your friend to use a spell check. I glanced only briefly and my eyes are still burning from all the grammatical and spelling errors. OUCH!
    1. BennyGreenberg
      I would have to agree as well...
      You professional you
    2. melindaville
      Or am I just in a bitchy mood this morning? Ha ha ha.
  7. kim88
    Point taken. But have I not said she hardly knows anything of networking. I just wanted a favor.
    1. melindaville
      Spellcheck has nothing to do with networking. Spelling has to do with being careful when writing.
    2. kim88
      @mtyler77
      I was not answering your comment, sorry my mistake, I agree with you.
    3. timethief
      @kim88
      I don't see a Blog Catalog widget on your friend's blog. Is her blog registered here or not? If not, then here's the Blog Catalog submit your blog link for her to use www.blogcatalog.com/blogs/submit_blog.html
    4. kim88
      @timethief
      no she is not the member of any site.
    5. timethief
      After her blog is approved by Blog Catalog she can post here herself and I will help her.
  8. kim88
    Thanks for offering her help I will guide her to you. But she seems reluctant to join any sites. But I will pursue her.:)
    1. timethief
      To be clear I'm speaking only for myself and when I can I'm willing to help other BC members with blogging questions right here on this forum. That's what members do here at Blog Catalog. We help each other. Also to be clear I will help only those who can speak for themselves.
  9. sudam08
    @tt Thanks for your willingness to help newbies.
    1. timethief
      @sudam
      Thank you

    I have conveyed this link thanks for advice.
  12. acousticguitarist
    i'll send my barbie doll over, yeah it's too pink... i get gthe feeling i will be told "Men are bad communicators" :-)
    1. ranist22
      well, acoustic,, now I know why you fled from my blog. It is terribly pink. To add to it, there are flowers...!!
  13. salomey5
    I'm very sorry, but I burst out laughing. Does it mean I'm evil?

    It's really cute though, but yeah, verrrry "pink". In all the possible ways. I think it made me laugh because it reminded me of the "reader's column" of the magazines I used to read as a teen.

    For the record, there is a BC widget on her blog now.
    1. kim88
      Yes she has joined BC and now lets help her.
  14. ranist22
    I think everyone is being very nice to Kim88's friend, but why not let her run the blog the way she wants? She'll always get clicks and days without clicks. If she changes everything in her blog what will be left of her own contribution? Thus said, it is touching to see how everybody is willing to help.
  15. brookypie2009
    Personally guys I like the pink! But, maybe that's because I made the blog! Also it was kinda more geared for teenage girls. But, thank you kim for the help.
    1. kim88
      Thanks for the explanation now Only Teenagers come forward.
    2. daniel23
      blimey am i surprised to see you brookypie2009
  16. brookypie2009
    Guess I just have a way of surprising people?!
  17. andreboyvillotica
    how about our company?
  18. kim88
    Guys this discussion thread is dead. Now even the person for whom I started this has quit blogging.
  19. coolbuster
    whoa! what happened?
    1. kim88
      She wasn't able to get her targeted audience and in a way I failed her.
