The Week In Review
By
On this last day of 2009, we close out the year with this final edition of the Week In Review. But first things first; I hope and trust that each of you has had a wonderful Holiday Season and that you were able to make some great memories with your families and friends.
Wishing you all the best in 2010 and beyond.
The big news this week was the launching of the book “Beyond Blogging – The Secrets To Blogging Success!” by my friends Nathan Hangen and Mike Cliffe-Jones. There was much buzz surrounding this launch and by all accounts it was a success. You can read my book review below.
Great job guys!
The week ending January 3rd 2010
Wow can you believe we have closed out another decade?
Time flies when you’re having fun, is what they say. 
As usual, I like to list a few of my stops that I enjoyed during the week. They are always randomly listed and I could never list them all, but here are a few.
The Blog Master David Risley has made not only this week, but the entire year a fantastic blogging experience for me. I’ve learned a ton from this guy and could not close out the year without mentioning that. Thanks for all you do man.

I agree, Beyond Blogging was one of the biggest highlight of the week.
I really must find time to check out BlogEngage. Does it work well for you?

Hey John,
BlogEngage is a really great place. I enjoy it for the many new bloggers I meet there, which exposes me to a wide range of people.
Come on over and join us when time allows. Tell them I sent you.
Everyone is quite helpful and friendly, so I am sure you’ll enjoy the experience.
Yeah, Mike and Nathan blasted that book launch and I am happy for them. It shows that with some good team work and dedication, a couple of bloggers can pool their energy and resources and make some things happen. I am looking to do the same this year, take it to the next level. How about you?

It was very encouraging to see the success of their partnership.
Plus, the whole build-up and anticipation was all very exciting stuff. Learnt loads from just watching…
I would REALLY encourage you to pursue your aspirations and make it happen – You have what it takes.
For me, just going to continue with what I’ve been doing x10.
Also, need to work on image and branding.
In terms of product, I am still tinkering with a few ideas.
