I am a professional blogger. This is what I do. I write and post blogs too include press release’s. Twitter is also a favorite of mine. Minnie blogs I call them. Blogs with less than 140 characters. At least one does not lose the reader this way. Then there is Face Party, Live Journal, Myspace (of course), Face Book, Yahoo Groups, Law Groups, DUI Forums, Newspaper Forums, Floridacriminalattorneysblog.com, muscalaw.com, personal blog space and websites owned. The opportunities are endless.

And now @ Kim…..thanks :) thats the most dreaded page I ever had to write on this blog :) I hate the fact that I succumbed to pressure from just about everyone to have that about page done :) and thought the *bird* is perhaps better than me :-) Oh you notice my observations I know :) yes, I do see the details – and may be thats the reason I miss the bigger picture sometimes LOL

@ Mike.. I didn’t read all of Chris’s post and was quick in jumping to the one he provided links to.. I think that went to the google guy? Matt I think!! I don’t remember, but this guy explains in detail HOW to do the re-direction since that is what I was interested in.. But I saw on many sites, this 3 line code is different so i am a bit hesitant in doing it… I really wanted to get this thing done BEFORE any page rank stuff comes around which is probably any day now as I hear!! I’d definitely like to know if you find out something.. thanks!

Thank you Pearl,
Many authors don’t reply but I’ll still comment and often visit less well known blogs, read their content so that comments are unique to each blog I visit. Being consistent can only be a good thing and although I get a fair amount of hits on my blogs there are the few who will comment and the majority don’t…….but it’s often specific content they are after so I check the incoming search engine terms.

I will drop a message on a blog that i have come across because i will take time to read their content, interesting thing can be found on different bloggers, so its a good time to read what they have to say and not just visit and go.

I will also take part in Problogger’s 31 days project, hopefully i can be featured.

Pearl, I usually go by Mike, but enough people call me Scott that it doesn’t really matter, so either is fine.

Actually, after I commented, I looked at Chris’ blog, and he is talking about something a little different.

If users use the www it resolves to the same location as my blog, so they are in fact at http://www.port16.com, then any link there goes to the address without the www. So, anything on my front page will look like it is at http://www.port16.com instead of port16.com.

He is talking about taking all requests that come in, and sending them to another URL. So you type out http://www.domainname.com and your browser refreshes and the address bar shows up as domainname.com.

If I mess around with it, I’ll let you know.

yes you’ve been so kind Colin :) I need to get in the habit of leaving comments too… it can be a bit intimidating sometimes, especially in blogs where the author does not really reply back to you – unless they are getting like 200 some comments like Mike pointed out…. but otherwise, its fun to leave a mark that you visited… thank you :)

PS: you are amazing to be leaving comments on multiple blogs while maintaining so many of your own blogs :)

Hey Mike.. but thats what the re-direction is supposed to take care of i thought, isn’t it?

and you are right, its really in the comments section that the conversations really take a shape and networking happens… its just beautiful and i hope more and more people took the time to make use of it!! take care and stay in touch! ….hey do you prefer Scott or Mike ? I remember last time I was addressing you Scott :)

Hi Glen.. I found many sites that talk about this re-direction but every one has a different code! So I am a bit hesitant on doing this.. I actually want to direct all www to non-www address! I hope someone has done it and they can tell me the code that works…thanks for keeping in touch!

Hi Pearl,
I visit several blogs a day, the one thing I always do is make a point of leaving a comment. The blog owner then knows that I have been and not just flicked by. MBL Recent Readers will pick up on it until you get thrown out at the bottome again lol, so a comment is much more meaningful.

Have a great day,
Take Care

I only recently started commenting on the blogs I read, and I really love the conversation that it can start. I generally don’t comment on bigger blogs though, since by time I read the post, there are already 200 comments.

I think that the redirect is pretty important too, my hosting provider takes lets me make an entry that takes care of it, but the funny thing is that Google keeps giving me link notices from the www to the domain without www. I could probably register a second blog with technorati. :-)

Re-directing is pretty important. If we had the same URL structure i would send my file over but we dont
