Hi – I don’t comment on many sites but had to on yours. It’s very well-done! I really like how you write – very to the point, unlike a lot of other journals. Thanks for having this site. I don’t have time to read all the articles here right now, I found this site when looking for something else on Yahoo, but I’ve bookmarked your homepage and will visit again soon to see what’s new. Beyonce is such an inspiration to me. She is so strong. I love reading what other people think of my favorite {artist|singer|performers, Beyonce. Please check out|visit|bookmark my website! Keep up the great|outstanding|fine work!

If I was a wife and mother with too many dogs, spending hours on the internet every day…
Oh I am.
Anybody want to buy a dog?

If I was a Horn Bag, If I was Normal, If I was a Celeb, If I Was a Rich Man (Abba)…. Yes, this sounds more fun:)

No, dont think you’re a geek…I was joking! Far from it, actually…but you could be onto something with “If I was a geek/*something else* for the day” idea…. just think of all the things you could do there…funny!

Glad that got you all fired up! I know it takes a team to design a great website and fortunately I do have one on tap: my Internet development and SEO guru hubby, the brilliant graphic designers we work with and me on the site architecture, web copy and project manangement. But I think If I Were A Geek is about wanting it all and wanting it now, when we have to work and put in a certain amount of effort before we can reap any rewards. I just need to be patient and it will call come in time. Thanks for spreading your wonderful positive attitude!

I love it! This sounds like something I would have written and I have a solution: collaborating! The thing is not all geeks have the same talents just as not all of us quasi-geeks (me) or non-geeks (most people) do.

I wish you had numbered those bullet points so I’m going to pretend you did:
1) My awesome techie geek Derek from DerekSemmler.com adds all the cool buttons and plugins and widgets I want.
2) Brilliant writer who makes complex subjects understandable by anyone – that is my part to do
3) I don’t know why but my new PC apparently thinks I’m British because it is using a UK spell checker instead of English. I’d have changed it back if I had any idea where. OS? Browser? User?
4) Thank goodness Derek knows coding too!
5) Each of us should know just enough about SEO to rank for at least some phrases we love. Check out my post about selecting keywords for tips on that.
6) Some of us are WordSmiths; others are artists; others are programmers. If you’re not a Graphic designer why not work with one? I did to get the new logo I absolutely love.
7) I don’t really want to automate Twitter but I will finally get around to using a Tweet later app so I can schedule personal messages for optimum times. Being best friends with any of them in a literal sense might take a miracle; may have to settle for exchanging Tweets and retweets.
9) I don’t mind typing and training voice recognition software used to be a bear; not sure if it still is.
10) We can all contribute to making the world a better place. All we have to do is support each other’s efforts, consider the effects of where we spend what we earn, stop being brainwashed by multi-national advertising and propaganda, go out of our way to help whenever and wherever we can, make the time to put in some reviews for our favorite businesses, and keep on paying it forward!

If I was a geek for the day I’d be you….hahahaha only joking…I would set up about 5 websites with cool and trendy names that sell amazing things and give me a subsidiary income…and then I would become rich….RICH Godammit!!!
