Fab People Of The Week

April 26, 2008


I’d like to apologise to those of you who thought I was dead or ill last week. I was actually away on a course and had no Internet or phone access.

Fab Quotes of The Week: I didn’t run the Fab Quotes feature last weekend, as I wasn’t around to discover any, but Fab Quotes will return to tomorrow.

Fab People of The Week: Since returning - I’ve barely had time to read a thing. But I did come across a handful of interesting and amazing posts. The first was this interview with Jemi, by Kelly at She-Power. If you’ve never heard of Jemi - she’s one of the most inspirational and positive people on the Internet. Why not check out her blog, In My Heels.

Kelly has also written some wonderful posts recently and I’m a keen follower of her weekly fiction series. You can read it here.

I saw a blog comment by some guy who claimed to be one of the most famous marketers on the Internet. I’d never heard of him and to me, some of the stuff he said came across as foolish and arrogant. Straight after I wound up on Liz Strauss’s blog and found this excellent post: Internet Fame, Leaps of Faith and The Truth From Guy. Liz says that Internet famous isn’t really famous at all and a blog just isn’t a business. She includes some great viewpoints from Guy Kawasaki and Tim Bourquin. If you know someone who’s Internet ego has grown to the size of Amazon, you may want to forward them this post.

While I was away Caroline Middlebrook launched her free Stumble Rush course. If you’d like to learn how to use Stumble Upon to drive traffic to your website, you should sign up now.

Brett Legree always has something interesting to say. And today he explains Why Blogging For Profit Is Like Collecting Underpants. And Ian Denny is telling us to Deliberately Displease People For Better Results.

Do you want to learn how to customise your own Wordpress theme? Elizabeth is going to be showing readers how to do this in a step by step guide. If you’d like to learn, visit her blog and sign up to her RSS.

    Thanks for the link, Cath. I really need a boost today.

    And there’s some great articles on this list. Thanks for the heads up.

    I’ve been meaning to ask you too. I was hoping you’d be my next SHE-POWER Woman. What do you think? I might need a photograph though…

    Hi Alex - You are welcome. I loved the post.

    Hi Kelly - You are welcome too. I love the interviews you’re doing and I’m addicted to the weekly fiction.

    Thank you for asking. I would love to do an interview (I’m still struggling to come up with a good question to ask Clay though!)

    I don’t have my pic taken a lot, but I’m going to a wedding today, so I’ll try to get someone to take one before I’ve had too much to drink (will take the hat off though).

    Hi Cath!

    I just finished the official and for sure announcement of my WordPress remodel plan. It may be a crazy ride. Your trackback came in as I was editing myself, like a vote of confidence from an invisible friend.

    Thanks for naming me among your Fab People.

    Hi Catherine,

    I can always count on you to find great sites and blog posts.

    I still wonder, when do you sleep?

    Thanks for sharing the great finds.

    Hi Elizabeth - you are welcome. I’m really looking forward to your series. I know a lot of people, myself included would love to know how to customise their own theme. And this step by step guide is going to be really useful.

    Hi Barbara - thank you. I must admit, my body is totally mixed up this week. I woke up at 5am, which is early for a Saturday I know. And it’s my brother’s wedding today, so I hope I don’t fall asleep during the reception.

    Trouble is, I never actually look at the clock to see what time it is, I just get up. It’s not good - I’ve seen me do this at 2am many times and I’m exhausted by lunch.
