| Johnny's Ramblings |
|
As mentioned briefly in the last issue of The Gazette (http://www.jimworld.com/gazette/issue-201/), I have made some hiring decisions regarding the day-to-day operations of JimWorld. In looking at the overall makeup of JimWorld, including all areas -- not just the forums -- it's pretty apparent that I simply cannot stay awake long enough to manage the whole thing. Honestly, I don't know how the heck Jim did it all those years.
Anyway, I broke down the various tasks and decided to "in-source" them to selected members of our crew, based on who I feel that I can work well with, who I feel will do the best job, and who I feel has shown the initiative and tenacity to warrant a more side-by-side role with me. The new staff and I have been working together for the last few months on various tasks. I'd like to take this opportunity to reintroduce them to you now, and invite you to welcome them aboard as full-time JimWorlders... Chris Logan (Logan): Sponsorship Recruiter/Ambassador Chris will be tasked with finding us new advertisers and sponsors, getting more company reps online, and getting "The JimWorld Word" out to the masses. Chris has demonstrated an initiative in this area that you've all had the chance to witness almost daily. I'm confident that he will be "the answer" for us in this area, given his tenacity and contacts. Elisabeth Osmeloski (skiguide): SEO Manager/Content Editor As the premier SEO resource community, it only makes sense that we employ what we teach. Our sites must have perfect, morally correct SEO tactics in place. Talk about pressure! Lis is most certainly up to the task, and her reputation alone makes her the optimal choice for this position. Pete McNamara (OAC): The Ultimate Website Pete will have the task of scoring and ranking all submissions for this very prestigious award. Pete has an eye for detail (more so than most of you know), and will do an outstanding job of not only scoring sites, but offering advice, and really being able to separate fact from fiction, better than most people I've met. As this area of JimWorld has the potential to be a big revenue producer, I feel that it's important to place it in the most capable hands -- so I did. Bill Dalton (unreviewed): RSS Newsfeeds Creation and What's New JimWorld generates news. We know that, and now it's time for everyone else to know it as well. Bill has a knack for being everywhere at once. He will be scouring our forums and articles daily to generate a real "RSS" news feed that we'll be distributing out to all of the major news sources: Google news, Moreover, and so forth. Also, he'll be out there finding interesting news items and posting summaries and links into the appropriate forums to help generate some topical conversation. Melissa Martin (Sinoed): SCUM Master ScumWare.com is woefully out of date -- Such a shame for the Web site that started it all. Sinoed was there at the beginning, has a lot of passion for this, and will be in charge of keeping the site's content, listings, news, and everything else up to date. We want ScumWare.com to be the only place people need to look at when trying to learn more about these dopes. Kelly Beil (crash): Free Site Templates Reviewer We get many submissions each day to FST. Kelly will be charged with downloading the submissions, cleansing them of viruses, putting together a sample site, and then re-uploading them to the server. It's a tedious job, but FST is probably the busiest domain we have, and its mission statement mirrors Jim's entire philosophy. She does a great job with troubleshooting HTML and has a good eye for quality. As you all know, she can be a pain in the butt sometimes... but that just what this area needs! Patrick Hartman (patrickh): Marketplace Manager The Marketplace is a new area for JimWorld. Eventually, we'll be getting rid of the "I Need Paid Help" forums in favor of a real live job posting (freelancers) board. This will generate some income for JimWorld, as well as be a much more usable system than the old forum was/is. Patrick will bring a lot of organization and timeliness to this area, which I have a feeling will need quite a bit of supervision. Susan Erler (WinningWays): Gazette List Manager/Editor As someone that makes a living doing newsletters, Susan is perfect for this role. She'll be editing my content (which will be a huge task...), and making sure that all unsubscribe requests are honored, that the list is clean, and that all replies to the Gazette are personally answered. Welcome aboard everyone! On behalf of the entire JimWorld community, I'd like to say once again what an honor and a privilege it is to work with each of you every day. You have taught me, inspired me, and kept me focused. I am humbled to have you as part of the team, and I know that JimWorld is what it is in part because of your past contributions -- and will be even better with your new roles. |

Thank you for your review, I will benefit from your suggestions. I have one
question though. You said "In the source, you really need a meta description
for each page just as you do with any web site." How do I do this with blogger?

This "Scumbag of the Week" article is irresponsible. I had not trouble at all in receiving the following response from SpamArrest:
"Hi James,
Thank you for your email.
James, what you see there is absolutely wrong and is done to misguide our users and our new customers from Spam Arrest. We have over 1.5 million customers with us including you. You have been with us for a very long time, James. You can check with any of your contacts whether they have received any junk emails from us. We never do such a thing and its completely against our ethics! We hate spam as much as you do and so, along with stopping it, we make sure that none of our customer's emails are noted as spam. We warn our customers from sending bulk emails about the fact that their contacts might misunderstand their bulk emails as spam and will turn against them and Spam Arrest. A company following only such healthy practices can never do such a thing like spamming. What we value the most is our customer's trust and we will make all efforts to retain that in the best way possible. We never admit your personal information to any third party under whatsoever circumstances. You will find a whole lot of misleading things like this in Internet, James. We have friends and foes like anyone else in this planet.
I hope you will understand us the best way possible, James. Please do let me know if you need any further clarifications regarding this.
Best Regards,
Peter
Technical Support Specialist
Spam Arrest"
In the 3 years that I have used SpamArrest, I personally have never received one complaint from anyone that has been 'spammed' from any theoretical 'spam list' that SpamArrest may have created. I think that their statement above makes it clear that they would not do this.
I behooves you to publish a retraction.
