Ventura Star story

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that the business blogging story is scheduled
to run tomorrow (Thursday) in the business section.
You can find it online at the Star’s Web site:

http://www.VenturaCountyStar.com

Scroll down to the “Business” subhead.
It should be posted by tomorrow morning.

Thanks again for your help with this story.

Can’t wait to read it. I wonder what, if anything, would happen to my sites or services as a result.

About the Author, Dan Cameron:

I'm the owner and solution engineer at Sprout Venture, a web solutions company that specializes in web development including WordPress.

I started my first blog in 2003 and transitioned to WordPress in 2004. Since moving to WordPress I've written a few plugins and themes for public consumption. Lately I'm busy engineering/building/coding and have only been able to share a few code snippets.

If you're in need of some web development, web design or custom WordPress plugins and/or themes contact me, I'll be happy to discuss it with you.

    i personally like the idea but i wish i knew earlier or noticed/deduced it myself.
  • Yeah, I don't think any of us will look down on you because of it, whether we know the story behind it or not. Others will, but as long as you don't care about that, then go for it.
  • nstryker
    or i'll just keep doing what i do, talk about Him when i do, and you guys know now. others will know if they care to...or not. doesn't matter to me, it's just my own personal thing.
  • Dan
    I agree, maybe you should consider cap'ing the needed words, excluding i and keep cap'ing God and Jesus the way you do. This might be better for people to see a correlation because the whole time I just thought it was your personality that you don't give a s'.

    Or do what you do now and start writing more about God and Jesus so people notice without wondering WTH.
  • Maybe everyone already knows this, but that's the way it's done in some English translations of the Bibles except it's not just for god type words but when it's God's proper name or when referring to his name.
  • nstryker
    like i told sara on my blog, switching a typing habit you've been doing for 15 years is pretty difficult. the humbling of everything not God, especially the word "i," is part of the point.
  • That's an interesting backstory. Maybe you should try a variation of it where you take Nate's suggestions (all caps) for God-type words, and use regular capitalization for everything else.
  • nstryker
    i used to (ages 12-20) put words for God in all caps, but it started feeling like i was yelling His name. obviously in business writings and english papers, i use "normal" capitalization. everywhere else (read: in art and life), i do all lowercase and capitalize the first letter of words for God.

    it's how i show honor, respect, and praise to my King and was initially inspired by the poetry of larry norman.
  • Nate
    Lord or LORD?
  • They can be for normal people also...
  • nstryker
    capitals are for the Lord.

    Very interesting. Now we have a celeb in the family! Good luck with this stuff, which I don't understand completely. GO! Any ideas on an electronic address book for us. The old Wizard is really getting dicey. Kiss and a hug for Sara and Avery. Bill
  • Dan
    Crazysox: Very cool Dan. i think you answered the questions quite well. NAS doesn't use any capitals so- BLOG OUT!

    Nor do the Star Free Press readers care or know about "qualifiers".
  • nstryker
    ha
  • Dan
    Yeah, I wrote her back pretty fast and didn't think that my reply would be the only interview. I thought I would at least have a chance to give some better, concise, refined and/or more relevant information to help the article.

    But if I get a grammatical error of a quote in the newspaper then they won't be surprised when they get here. :p

    Second comment: Exactly although, I haven't posted this yet but people are giving me stuff for free to blog about. Like that video software and Sprint gave me a phone for 6months for free, with free unlimited service and data. "Blog Out".

    "more traffic means more advertisement for my business," he continued, "more advertisement means more clients, more clients means more money, and more money means more gadgets." just then a well dressed representative from cingular upgraded mr. cameran's phone. "and more gadgets means more ways to blog out!"
  • nstryker
    cool, but wait: "blogging is probably the best tool you can use to find clients" probably?! watch those qualifiers!
  • Looks like it's up now.

    It will be interesting to see how many new visitors you get from the link.
