I like to think of my photography a little like this.  How I move, what I focus on, my subject matter, the shadows and light.  It's all part of me.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A friend of mine who has gone with me when I take my camera just sits back and says, "I'll let the artist do her work."  I really like that.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 16 Mar 2009 22:13:59 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 6 Things I Do to Stay Creative | LifeDev</title><link>http://lifedev.disqus.com/6_things_i_do_to_stay_creative_lifedev/#comment-9400442</link><description>I do all of this.............:)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks for the confirmation</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 16 May 2009 00:46:40 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: 2009 Louisville Ice Storm</title><link>http://toddearwood.disqus.com/2009_louisville_ice_storm/#comment-5620716</link><description>What a mess.

A holiday project I wish I had started years ago is a holiday photo journal.  Each year, taking pictures of the holidays; each family member present, trees, food, children, etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Then, put the photos in an online journal, set it aside, and bring it out next year, and repeat the whole thing again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It's a great way to share the holidays, especially with the youngest members.  It would be great to see your first Christmas when you're 20 years old.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Lisa</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:26:44 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Be Effective in Meetings and Use Social Media Tools</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/be_effective_in_meetings_and_use_social_media_tools/#comment-8514789</link><description>LOL.........I love your "Tips for all Meetings."

I've often wondered what other people do.  For me, the first thing I do every morning is post my blog post of the day, which is always prepared the night before.  This I check on the activity of my site, comment on other people's blogs via Iowa Avenue and the Healthy Lifestyle Bloggers, then, it's on to the health news of the day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By doing this, I'm listen to my community's concerns, finding out what the next "hot" topics might be, and how I can incorporate those topics in future blog posts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I belong to too many social communities, so one of the items on my agenda is to try to figure out which ones are working for me and which ones aren't.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm always looking for different ways to expand the reach of my members and community.  Right now, I'm especially interested in branching out to different communities not necessarily related to my core topic.  It's amazing to me how life's all intertwinned.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:27:23 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Alltop- Encouraging the Mainstream</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/alltop_encouraging_the_mainstream/#comment-8517943</link><description>I have two health blogs in Alltop, my own site, Iowa Avenue, plus a site highlightening the Healthy Lifestyle Bloggers.

Why not try to work with the local high school?  How about offering field trips for the younger students and cooking classes for the older ones?  1st and 2nd graders love the idea of being able to walk into a refrigerator and taking home a small goodie bag.  For the older students, to off set costs, maybe charge just the cost of the food.  Students get a great meal, cook it themselves, learn, plus, he gets the opportunity to reach out to their parents.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 17 Jan 2009 08:19:05 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Life After the 1 Second Pitch</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/life_after_the_1_second_pitch/#comment-8534659</link><description>I love it.......................:)</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jan 2009 09:14:19 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Are You Important To Me</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/are_you_important_to_me/#comment-8535027</link><description>I feel the love each and every time I read one of your blog posts, Chris.

However, I've thought of content marketing in terms of sponsorship. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For example, let's say you write a mommy blog, and pampers becomes a sponsor.  Now, not all the readers might need pampers, but some might, due to the content of the blog.  Am I wrong here?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In regards to the post, I do think "traditional" advertising, at least as it pertains to online isn't working.  I would have never clicked on the ad you featured in the NYTimes article, and I think the Times lowered themselves, at least in my mind, by running the ad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I'm don't think traditional advertising is dead, but it definitely needs to up its game a lot or it won't get my attention.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">IAAdmin</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 29 Jan 2009 22:51:16 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Guest Post - Handling Negative Comments On Your Blog Post</title><link>http://chrisbrogan.disqus.com/guest_post_handling_negative_comments_on_your_blog_post/#comment-8535715</link><description>Great advice.
