I was privileged to have participated in the original ’5 ways’ post. Expressed an unhinged aspect of myself is, perhaps, more accurate.
I’d like to suggest commenting on other people’s blog posts as a further possible way to save one’s own blog. I have no blog for my frame of reference, so without an accessory axe to grind I merely contribute as one who remains inspired by you and your blog Spike. I trust you don’t confuse appreciation with ‘stalker’.
Contributing my brand of insanity to your marvellous pages helped me complete 45,000 words of a co-authored book, instead of putting them in a blog of my own. We’re done (108,000 words) and I am likely to be in touch with you if I get my way for a preferred editor, to repay the favour.
If I recall correctly, back in 2009 one of your comments on Jan’s or George’s site led me to Scrawlbug, even though I had only just started following on Twitter. By the way, Jan seems to have disappeared: no posts since September and no tweet sighted for over three months, nil replies to email or DM.
I’m not a freelance blogger or writer but I have for many years championed the cause of freelancing and penned countless business articles, so if there are no other takers, give me a shout of you ever need or want a generous, kind and free gratis guest poster :∋
That’s my patented ‘beard smiley’ by the way…yes, unhinged and somewhat slightly crazed as ever…
Michael: LOL, love the beard smiley. Great to hear from you and an excellent point – commenting on other blogs not only helps them out but can bring extra people (and their ideas) to yours. As it brought you to mine. Chaining you to the comment threads was my way of making sure you didn’t leave… ;o)

“if you ever need”, not “of.” Fortunately, you’ll proofread…*rolls eyes*
