The first blog post….
Posted by ShaunzoMy first post on my new blog took a bit of time thinking on it and then I thought fuck it I’ll put some of my favourite Stone Roses lyrics down. They are the coolest band I can think of on my 11,000 song ipod - I don’t have a clue as to what to write about for that first post. The lyrics I chose because i just well like them.
It got me thinking though - what the fuck did others do for their first blog post (I am of course talking about the seo /internet marketing world) and what will i write about after that?
So I think I am going to document my time setting this blog and the plug-ins I’ll use for the first collection of posts. After that it’s just my mindless wanderings.
Here’s what some people I’ve been reading kicked off their blogs with ….
- Matt Cutts
- ShoeMoney
- Andy Beal
- Alister Cameron
- Michael Gray
- David Naylor
- Jim Boykin
- StuntDouble
- Danny Sullivan
Jim’s is the best I think, followed by Shoemoney’s.

Hello Jim and thanks for the good wishes. I thought you were on holiday for 4 weeks? Is that you back?
Cheers for the linking tips by the way - been reading your blog every now and again for the last year now.

Holiday? lots of traveling…but all business trips….at least the business pays for my traveling to chat with other SEO’s.
Luckily my business brings me in contact with my friends (other seo’s and cool clients) so it makes it fun…and I love traveling.

Hi Michael
I’ve been burning your bandwidth up too over the last year without permission!
Thanks for your post - I hope it hasn’t caused you any embarrassment

JIM - You should feel flipping lucky, today and every day!
I don’t think I’ve ever really met a real life seo in person before…I’d like to meet an seo - an seo who could make my eyes water (only talking about seo, you understand - I am in a relationship!) before his or hers do.
Dammit I am tired of talking to people and seeing eyes water or that familiar (you are a Geek) look!
I am definitely going to one of them conferences next year!
