Community and Conversation
Successful-Blog is community in conversation. That’s why the home page says Successful and Outstanding Bloggers. Bloggers are constantly talking and trading techniques and strategies for how we keep our blogs and our businesses growing. . . . When we find one, it’s hard to keep quiet. We want to know if someone else knows more about it than we do. . . . Imagine the benefits of a community thinking and talking together–a wealth of resources right here. Not to mention the friendships made. –ME Strauss

Know that I write and edit for a living which means, I might make minor changes in what you write. It’s the editor’s curse. We can’t help it. You can take heart that professional editors don’t change meaning without talking about it, nor do we make writers look bad in print.
I’m delighted to share the space with a well-voiced article on a topic appropriate for Successful-Blog readers. I’m looking forward to adding your voice to the Successful-Blog list of Contributors.
