Introduce Yourself
I know there are a lot of people who visit this blog but not everyone comments! I am always curious to know who visits me and reads what I write. I really appreciate comments that contribute to the discussion of the day, but if you felt you didn’t have an opinion on the topic today, I hope you would like to subscribe to my RSS feed and return some day soon.
In the meantime, I would really like to know a bit about you as to
who are you?
where are you from?
what do you do for living?
and if you like, you could also include:
what do you like (or don’t like) about this blog?
what would make this blog better ?
what would you like to read on here?

Wonderful idea Pearl.
Who am I? oh boy…how hard it can be huh :o)
1. I am Colin, fortunately therei sjust one of me for I am sure the world would have aproblem with 2!!
2. I was born in Malta, but resident in the UK since the age of 2. I was born there because my father was stationed there whilst serving in the Royal Navy, hence I have dual nationality.
3. What do I do for a living? Well, I have been a soldier, then I became a chef, and in 1987 had to stop work through some spinal problems which were diagnosed in 1988 as ankylosing spondylitis. I have not been able to work since, so I started helping others as and when I could. Now, I help others to sort out their computer problems, which in turn gave birth to my Free PC Security blog. I also have 2 websites as well as several other blogs.
What do I like about this blog?
1. I like its content and relevance, the way the posts are conveyed in a format that would be easy for all to read.
2. There is absolutely nothing to dislike about this blog.
3. You’ll love this one Pearl, and you can kill me another time lol, you have just been awarded the Thoughtful Blogger Award, which I am in the process of writing up on my secondary blog, Life, and will post it shortly.
Definitely a nice, clean, interesting blog……simply a winner!
Ken… that was a nice intro :) Ahhh Social Bookmarking service!! I have your post bookmarked and will be using it on the new template :)
Hi Colin… I didn’t know about your spondylitis issue! but you are an inspiration to all of us, for never accepting defeat! and we all need to learn to keep that sense of humor you have about everything…
and no I won’t kill you for tagging me :) not yet anyways! thanks for the kind words!
Hi Pearl, sorry Lady Pearl hahahaha
A/S is just one of those things that happens, and you have a choice really, fight or give in! I’m a fighter lol and a sense of humor is a must for everyone……much easier to laugh in the face of adversity :)
Will wait with baited breath to hear what your secret mission is, I apparently have to ‘Beware the alphabet soup and the wounded bacon roll’ …….guess the bacon roll shouldn’t have picked on the alphabet soup!!

Well, I have to say that I am just a visitor but am already impressed with the range of the above respondents. But, I haven’t read enough of the blog as yet, just the article on pings, trackbacks, etc. so I don’t really have an opinion formed. I am tag you to del.icio.us though.
Meanwhile, I am a writer primarily and I have several blogs going right now, one on personal and public finance, one on dance, on politics and society, and one just started today, of poetry.
As I said, I’ll be back as the title of your blog intrigues me.
welcome to my blog rhbee :) thanks for commenting and I hope you find something useful here… and consider subscribing if you like it :)
I definitely will check out your blogs… tc and kit

I really think this introduce yourself page is cool. I’m trying it out on an old blog I’ve decided to try and bring back to life (of course I gave you credit), I hope you don’t mind.
not at all, I don’t mind! but you didn’t tell us anything about yourself :)
That would have been an appropriate thing for me to do on this page. Well, I’m from New Jersey, and aside from working on my autobiographical skills and being a jack-of-all-trades type, I’m working on developing a couple of blogs.
hey! my name is jason a.k.a. jay or ‘dat.’ i am a first time visitor and i just subscribed to your email feed.
i actually noticed you on mybloglog before but sadly, i never had the opportunity to talk to you like that, but here i am! i may be late but i’m always on time…
i’m from boston, ma and i write in two different blogs DatCurious.com and DatMoney.com
i’m still looking around in your blog but its great! nice layout, some interesting posts, seems popular and it’s like a down-to-earth feel. i mean, i’m introducing myself so what does that tell you?
but i’m hoping to hear from you sometime, maybe exchange links? but you’ll be hearing from me! like i said, i just subscribed to your feed… take care!

What usually attracts me to a blog is honesty and intelligence. If the writing isn’t honest, I’m not interested even if it is otherwise brilliant.
You passed with flying colors :-)
thanks :) hope to see you around here more often then…
Jay: welcome to fresh perspectives :) I remember talking to you on one of the other posts ….. thank you so much for subscribing .. dont forget to confirm it :) tc
Hi Pearl
I have visited “Interesting Observations” now a couple of times and I thought it time to introduce me. I was drawn here by Colin (up above) and really like what you have to say.
My name is Ange, I am from Melbourne, Australia and I do research and IM.
Your blog has a great feel to it and is very inviting. I couldn’t think of a thing you should change.
I have subscribed so that I can keep up with you and not miss a post :)
This is a great idea… kind of like a lounge to chat in. I like!
hey Ange: welcome and thanks for the kind words! and of course thanks for subscribing as well :)
I had hoped this post would become like an ongoing chat but it hasn’t picked up so may be I’ll just talk about it on the main page.. what dyu say?
Hi Pearl,
I think you should leave the page but maybe do a post about it with link to page, and maybe a link in the sidebar too.
Just a passing thought lol
Have a wonderful week my friend,
Take care,
Colin
hmm actually I think I did mention it in one of my posts but only in passing! may be it calls for a post of its own! thanks for the suggestion His Eminence the Very Lord Colin :)
you have a great week ahead Colin and thanks for sending your esteemed friends over here :) take care and stay in touch!
I have been thinking about your question and I have to agree with Colin in regards to having a link to it in the sidebar. It will stand out a bit more and you could make it look like an invitation to come in and chat in the lounge… perhaps! Great idea :)
I am a writer and life coach. I write for my blog, Gratitude Magic. I just moved to Portland, Oregon, area, and really love it.
What I really like about your blog, Pearl, is your attitude. You don’t pretend you know everything or you are better than others. Honest sharing of one’s own stories and opinions is, I think, the essence of web 2.0 and blogging. Yet, this is surprisingly hard for many of us, and I have to keep reminding myself to be myself, my sweet, occasionally silly, little, and big at the same time, self.
Keep writing,
Akemi’s last blog post..Why Your New Year’s Resolutions Fail
@Ange – I am seriously considering your suggestion and will be working on it Ange, just didnt get a chance to write here, although we’ve talked after this :) thanks
@Akemi – thank you for such a kind review and I’m so glad you like my writing.. I just read your about page and really commend you for all you have achieved in such a short time. Hope you keep coming back to share your ideas and opinions and keep in touch. stay well.

Hey, My name is Hersh and I live in Liverpool. I grew up in India and have been working in UK for a few years. I like to writr but wasn’t getting a reason to put pen to paper befoe I started my blog. Plus, blogging lets me read other writers such as you.
I like this Introduce yourself’ section and also the tone of your posts. Keep it up.

hope you do come back to read and give suggestions!
tc and stay in touch!
I thought I’d go ahead and include my response, Pearl. :)

Hello Pearl.
My name is John Hoff, I live in Las Vegas, NV and own eVentureBiz – a web hosting and design company.
I’m also a part time real estate investor and part owner in a landscape company. I hold degrees in computer science and mathematics and am not very fond of either. I run a blog on our site where I talk about being an entrepreneur and also moderate our community forum where I talk about web development and marketing.
I think your blog is great as it is, however, maybe put the “Recent Posts” widget in your sidebar and not the bottom??
I’m somewhat new to your blog so I will have to read a few more articles before I can comment on what I like reading over here. I stumbled upon you on SU and love your tags so I thought why not stop by your blog?
Take care and thanks for wanting to know a little more about me :)

Hey John.. replied to your other comments and then came here… well, welcome to my blog. I’m really glad you stopped by and I hope you find something of interest here. :)
I haven’t been very actively blogging for the last few months but am trying to get back to regular writing soon. Ive been thinking of a redesign of the site so hopefully that’ll inspire me to write more. Of course, I’ll take your suggestion about the recent comments… So please visit again :)
Hi Pearl
Would you believe that I have just discovered this page – I am not as observant as you. It is an excellent idea. I am Sue from Melbourne Australia and have lived here about half my life – the first half in England. I enjoy blogging so much that I blog about it.
As for why I like this blog – apart from the excellent writing the person writing it shines through as someone very likable. :-)

welcome Sue! and thank you for the kind words… come to think of it, I was often confused reading your posts if you were Ausie or English :)
Hi Pearl!
I’ve visted your blog from time to time this past year and I figured I should introduce myself.
I’m Maura from Illinois and I am a network engineer who works at home. I am also an aspiring info-preneur!
Love your blog…especially the new theme!
Take care,

Hi Perl,
I just came across your article on Measuring your productivity, and started reading through your other posts. You’ve got an interesting perspective on things, and I will continue to read.
I’m an Insurance broker working in Colorado. I’ve just started so there is a lot to learn, and I can get way too wrapped up on the ins and outs of things. Thanks for the detraction.
Thank you Joshua! Appreciate your reading and commenting…
Are you planning on adding a blog to the company website? This article might help: How to make your portfolio site more effective by adding a blog… I’d be glad to help if you have any questions.. tc

Hello, My name is Sandy
I live in the great Pacific Northwest, Federal Way Washington. I am a commercial equipment lease agent by day and have started a drop shipping company by night. I’m thinking this will be a good way to supplement gap left in our income due to the economy.
This new night life leads me to many sites that are helpful in learning about internet marketing but it’s nice to find sites that are more enjoyable. Since I’m pushing 44 years of age I’m really interested in finding ways to lessen the effects of Menopause. Anyway to combat the wretched person who shows up once a month would be helpful as well.
Huh? that wretched link you left on my site definitely has been removed.. hope you feel better anyways…. Pearl
Hey all, my name is Jay, i am a web designer from New Brunswick, NJ. I actually think this blog is quite informative but what really impresses me is the fact that the admin interacts with the commentators, many blogs lack that kind of interaction which makes them quite boring. Keep up the great posts and god bless.
Hello, Just passing by, so I tought I introduce myself before I discover what’s your blog is about.. but from the first impression I like it a lot, I’ll keep coming.
Hi Pearl…I had to introduce myself as we have the same name. I don’t run into too many other people with the name Pearl. :o) To answer your questions..
1. My name is Pearl
2. I’m from the great state of Iowa
3. I design websites and advertising for a small company in Iowa
I stumbled upon your site because I saw your reply here: http://vandelaydesign.com/blog/design/unique-website-layouts/
I’ll definitely be taking a look around your site. :O)
