Why Do Bloggers Edit or Delete Comments?
December 6th, 2007 |Smart marketers and bloggers watch for articles and blog entries that use their keywords so they can read the content and leave comments.

Articles vs. Blog Entries
October 30th, 2007 |I created meryl.net articles as a place to put longer articles and reviews that can be of value for a long time. However, many blogs use articles as entries.

Getting Personal in Blogging
December 4th, 2006 |InformIT’s When Is a Blog Too Personal, discusses how much personal information to reveal.

Blog Manifesto Feedback
July 5th, 2006 |I want to thank the folks especially Sally H. behind ChangeThis for accepting and publishing It’s a Big Blog World Out There: Five Quick Tips to Building a Better Blog.

Linguistic Scholars and Blogging
June 21st, 2006 |Analyzing Eggcorns and Snowclones, and Challenging Strunk and White looks at Language Log, a blog covering linguistic boo boos. My kind of place.

Meryl’s Notes Turns Two
June 1st, 2002 |June 1, 2000. I took the plunge. I went into Blogger and signed up. Unable to think of a creative name as explained in the About, I entered, “meryl’s notes” for the name thinking I’d change it later. I never did.
