Ask me anything (almost)

Blogging is a wonderful way to communicate your ideas and opinions to other people, however, even though it facilitates a lot of conversation, it can still be very one sided.

It’s not often that the readers have to opportunity to dictate what the blog author will write about.

They come to a blog and read it because they like the content served up by the author but it’s rare that the readers get to say.. “write about this next”.

So, with that in mind… I’m asking you the Fuelmyblog community members to tell me what you want to read about?

How this will work is simple.

Just drop a comment on this post and ask me a question. I’ll then write a post in order to answer the question.

You can ask me about anything (within reason) and I will do my best to answer.

I’ll put the limit at 10 questions to be answered and we’ll get Kevin and Sylvie to decide which ones I should answer for the multitudes of questions I’m sure you’re going to ask.

So dear FMB peeps! What do you want to know?

    Well, I was going to ask about Olga, but that’s apparently already been taken care of, so lemme think for a second here…

    Here’s a curiosity of mine: How do you approach strangers that you want to meet. Regardless of the situation (bar, nightclub, restaurant, professional environment, post office, etc…), do you use the same script every time? Do you change things up depending on the person? Everyone’s got their own style…and I’m curious about them all!

    How can I find a domestic goddess to make me a hood with my face printed on it so I can go out in public without looking ridiculous? This is an essential part of my campaign to dominate Blogdom. It would have to be stylish so that Sylvie still fancies me ……….

    ……and, one other thing, what is the best method of trying to stop 70’s drunk typo-ing at 2:30ish am? – tee hee

    no response from Paul…I wonder why?
    DP: it is the box or nothing, it has always been about the box…
    I doubt Paul will know where Olga is…but I guess it is worth a question…anyone interested in blogging related questions? lol!

    Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

    Why did you start your first blog, and what was your first post about?

    Sleep or sex?

    Why do you wear skirts?

    What has been your biggest discovery in 2008?

    Do you make New Years Resolutions?

    What free tools do you recommend to:
    -write and publish an ebook
    -make and publish a high quality youtube video (with high quality I mean not only contentwise but also very clear to watch yet not too big to upload both in matter of size and viewing time)
    -(how) can we use wordillustrations to add to an ebook? Where to find illustrations, pictures, clipart that is free to use and reproduce both on a website and an ebook?

    Thanks a gazillion!

    Paul, what is a good tool to insert data from a Blogger blog to a WP blog? Like FMB did :-) What problems did FMB occur during the data transfer?

    @Belinha

    I find Joomla quite “difficult”. Not to mention it’s huge if you want to make only a small site.

    If you want to sell stuff, you need to find shopping cart software, there are free ones that do the job good!
