A Blogger In Need

by Vic on January 15, 2008

Folks today I was doing my Blogging Zoom run and came across one of the blogs that I enjoy stopping by and reading Untwisted Vortex and read a post that I found quite painful called A Possible Disappearing Act. Richard’s wife has some serious health issues from something that should have never happened this is one of those things that happen in our lives and we are just not prepared. I ask you to please visit RT’s site Untwisted Vortex and read his post and leave a comment to see if he agrees to place a PayPal donate button. This is the time when we are all supposed to be there for each other. So please visit our blogging buddy and join me and others in asking him to put up a PayPal button.

Pay It Forward Today

If something that I have taught you has made you some cash then today might be a really good day to start paying a forward. My friend RT from Untwisted Vortex send me an email last night that was very compelling. I ask you please take a few minutes to help another blogger out by [...]...

Why Blogger Unleashed?

With every thing that I have to do on a daily basis, why Blogger Unleashed. Well it is actually quite simple, I got tired of receiving over 50 emails a day asking questions on how did I get a site like Bu.bulicio.us to have 20k unique hits a day in four months. Of course there [...]...

Blogging Zoom Is Not About Blogging

For reasons that just drive me crazy and I really do not understand people seem to think that Blogging Zoom is about blogging. Blogging Zoom not about blogging, BZ is a tool for bloggers to get to compete in SERPS with the big boys. BZ is a cooperative effort where you have an opportunity to [...]...

RT's a genuinely good guy, who's helped many a blogger, so I'm really sorry to hear that and I'll head over there now…

It's great to see so many people trying to help. He finally put a PayPal account up. He received enough kicking in the ass I guess

Vic January 16, 2008 at 4:52 pm: I was so happy to see him consider it.

Thanks for putting this out there. I didn't know about RT until tonight, but after reading his story here and on his site (and many others) I was moved to make a small donation. While here, I enjoyed perusing your site and look forward to coming back when I have more reading time.

Vic January 16, 2008 at 4:53 pm: Welcome and thank you for your kind words.

It looks like Sky News ( http://news.sky.com/skynews/home ) is picking up on the story. I may have to put my blog into WP Super Cache lock down mode. I'll keep my eyes peeled.
