For those of you who tried to find this blog when I was updating it, I hope you will come back to it. You think a simple upgrade to Word Press would not be that difficult. After all Word Press is the home of the 5minute blog install! I wonder how many people can have a 5 minute blog install?

I tried the 5 minute blog install and I guess I picked the wrong template because it took me about 3 hours and some emails to the template designer to find out what the error was in the coding. Well it was a lot easier to install a blog from bare minimum then it is to get this monster of a blog back functioning where I want it. I hope it looks good to you because it still is not right to me.

I seriously believe that there are 2 things I avoid in life lately. Blog upgrades is the one I can talk about now. The other one will come in a later post, but will be equally informative.

Ok, now the title of this post is “Find Some Internet Buddies”. I have not forgotten that. I have been so fortunate during my life on the internet because I usually find people who will help me. I think I have aged most of them, and they run away never to be seen after I pick their brain dry of all its knowledge. I promise all of them that I will not keep the knowledge all to myself but I will share it with the seekers of such information.

Where do you find such buddies? In the beginning I found them on forums. I found some posters who seemed to have a kind heart towards the newbies, and I visited the sites they talked about and I visited their sites and I would post meaningful questions or comments. After a while and several posts back and forth you just get to be friends with a few of these people.

It seems most of the people I have learned from are as obsessed as I am and they lurk at night, or later in the day (USA Pacific time speaking). I guess there are a lot of people working the night shift on their internet businesses, programs, or books.

Lately I have been reading the blogging communities that I used to have the links to on this blog. They will be back soon, hopefully. I am finding that there are some great helpful people in those communities, too. They have so much good information to share. I spend lots of time visiting their blogs, and now I seem to be following them to where they go.

Alex Sysoef got me started on this quest away from the forums and onto the Social Sites.  At first I felt like a square peg in these places.  However now I am meeting more people like Alex and finding that I am going to learn even more from visiting the new communities that they recommend.

As long as I am name dropping let me add Chris Lang to my latest internet friend.  He has so much to share and treats people with a lot of respect.  I followed him to a Social Marketing site and met some of my other “heroes” of blogging there.  I was so excited to see PotPieGirl show up.  LOL  When you find these people you will know what I am talking about.

It is my intention to meet even more greater people like I just mentioned who will help me to help you to learn how to maximize our time and success using the internet.
