I started a little blog called &lt;A href="http://www.thinksimplenow.com/" linkindex="14"&gt;Think Simple Now&lt;/A&gt; on September 27th, 2007 with zero experience in blogging, internet marketing or writing. By the time Christmas came, 3 months later, I had 2135 subscribers.
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/philos/512/99ECF7DE-E959-450C-B7E9-2587C7AA5D8E.png" alt="Thinksimplenow" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
I’m new to blogging, in fact, I read very few blogs. I also do not follow any blogs on blogging, with the exception of a couple of articles read from &lt;A href="http://www.doshdosh.com" linkindex="15"&gt;doshdosh&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href="http://www.problogger.net" linkindex="16"&gt;problogger&lt;/A&gt; very early on.
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;P&gt;
I have three important reasons why my blog has been successful:
&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;OL&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Concrete Goals &amp; Focus&lt;/STRONG&gt; - You can’t get what you want if you don’t know what you want.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Content Creation&lt;/STRONG&gt; - Where I spend most of my time. Content and understanding your audience is king.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Getting the Word Out&lt;/STRONG&gt; - Actionable tasks I did to market my blog. All are easily reproducible by anyone. But only focus on this after area 2 have been in place. Without content, all your marketing efforts will be ineffective.&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://www.problogger.net/archives/2008/01/30/from-0-to-2000-subscribers-in-120-days/</clipSource><pubDate>Wed, 30 Jan 2008 10:12:38 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>30 More Excellent Blog Designs</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/B87B207B-6C55-4B24-AFB9-41664C54042F/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/philos/"&gt;philos&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/22/30-more-excellent-blog-designs/" title="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2007/11/22/30-more-excellent-blog-designs/"&gt;www.smashingmagazine.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;H3&gt;Simplicity and Whitespace&lt;/H3&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Verbalized&lt;/STRONG&gt; — sometimes less is more. Close attention to small details is impressive.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Sam Brown &lt;/STRONG&gt; - a truly modest design.&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Adrian Pintilie&lt;/STRONG&gt; — the top section of the site is pretty colorful.&lt;/P&gt;

        &lt;h2&gt;Top Ten Stock Photography Cliches&lt;/h2&gt;
        &lt;h3&gt;What to watch out for when picking photos for your marketing materials&lt;/h3&gt;   
        
        &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=handshake&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG,ILL,TYP"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/NSP/NSP0041836_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. The Handshake of Synergy&lt;/strong&gt;: You’ve made the sale and closed the deal.  They can’t back out now—you shook on it!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=operator&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/ISP/ISP0159047_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2. The Flirty Customer Service Gal&lt;/strong&gt;: Our operators are standing by to take your call…and your heart.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=business+thumbs+up&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/SBP/SBP0122254_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. The Big Thumbs of Triumph&lt;/strong&gt;: Good job, ace.  You’ve saved the company again.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/FAN/FAN1006693_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. The Romantic Glow of the Laptop&lt;/strong&gt;: You’ve stayed up late working on those &lt;span class="caps"&gt;TPS &lt;/span&gt;reports, and there’s just something magical about the flickering of the &lt;span class="caps"&gt;LCD….&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=growth+hands+plant+soil&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/PHP/PHP3040388_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Growth: The Handful of Manure&lt;/strong&gt;: We can make your business thrive like this sturdy sprout.  Just hope the wind doesn’t pick up.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=cutouts+white+background+viewed+from+above+portrait&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/RBP/RBP0015060_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. The Air Up There&lt;/strong&gt;: So, what’s it like being 17 feet tall?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.veer.com/search/results.aspx?keyword=corporate+diversity&amp;amp;pricemodel=RF,RM&amp;amp;producttype=IMG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://images.veer.com/IMG/PIMG/SBP/SBP0126148_P.JPG" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. The United Colors of Megacorp&lt;/strong&gt;: Does outsourcing to India count as being diverse?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&amp;amp;userID=162596"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/130350/2/istockphoto_130350_two_colleagues_01.jpg" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Lise Gagne’s “Scruffy Guy” and “Red Hair Gal”&lt;/strong&gt;: You won’t find cheaper executives anywhere.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/file_search.php?action=file&amp;amp;userID=323168"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/258831/2/istockphoto_258831_four_seasons_winter.jpg" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;9. Ewa, the Polish Everywoman&lt;/strong&gt;: Abu took great shots already, but marrying Ewa certainly didn’t hurt his stock photography revenue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/who/people_specific_attributes/gender/126258_young_woman_working_on_a_rock.php?id=126258"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/126258/2/istockphoto_126258_young_woman_working_on_a_rock.jpg" alt="" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10. Telecommuting from the Edge&lt;/strong&gt;: How can she get broadband wifi there, when I can barely get it in the next room?&lt;/p&gt;
