Ah gee, shucks !
July 21st, 2009
Folks, I hope that those that know me personally would tell you that I’m a modest kind of guy. I really don’t like blowing my own trumpet about my achievements.
But today, I’m going to make an exception.
I’ve already written that I am totally stunned by the quality of the blogs being produced by my fellow-students on Alex Jefferys’ Marketing With Alex 2.0 training programme. In fact, there are so many really good ones, sometimes it’s hard to keep up !
But anyway, one of those blogs is by David Walker. Over the weekend, I saw that he’d posted a piece with a humorous title: Something For The Weekend.
He also commented on the high standard of blogging that Alex’s “Class of ‘09″ was producing and went on to highlight 10 blog posts that he had particularly enjoyed that week.
As I read David’s post, I thought to myself, “Yeah, I saw that one, that was cool !” and “Yes, I saw that one too” or “Oh, I missed that, let me check that one out …”
But then I got to the last one and was totally amazed to discover that it was mine !
Yes, David had included my “Doctor” Alex Jeffreys gives his diagnosis post in his top 10 !
Well, as I told him in my comment to his post, I was (almost) speechless. But I was “chuffed” to bits 
Only problem is, it just adds to the pressure ! I mean, like I said, the standard of blogging is so good ! And I know for a fact, that other students have latched on to David’s idea and want to “make it” in the same way. Lol !
I guess the flip side of that is that it makes us all strive even harder to deliver good content for your readers. Because, in the short time that rog-blog.com has been here, I have realised that this is possibly the key factor to producing a successful blog.
So David, thanks for the accolade. I’ll do my best to keep doing my best

Hey Roger,
It is so true that the standard is just sooo good. I keep looking around and seeing what people are putting out there and it’s just awesome!
I just hope I can get mine up to the same standard. Ah well, practice makes perfect!
Talk soon,
Paul
Thanks Richard. I have always enjoyed writing, though I do find it hard work ! So it’s nice to find that people enjoy what I post here
AND … I think that you have just given me an idea for another blog post ! Watch this space …
All the best,
Roger
You’re right Paul – I think that when people see what everybody else is doing, it just spurs them on to do better as well. And in fact, it’s even given me an idea for one of the other blogs that I’m sort-of responsible for: my sister runs a small business and I set up a blog for her some time back. All of these comments has given me a great idea about using it to gather feedback from her clients. So I guess that just proves what you said, practice does make perfect
