A few weeks ago, Melissa Fulwider asked if I would like to be interviewed and have the interview published on the AdlandPro community. Of course, I was flattered, and a bit puzzled as to why I was chosen.

She sent some questions and I took a bit of time to respond as well as I could.

I missed some of her follow-ups and left her hanging a couple of times until I could get back to my email and respond. (Thanks, Melissa, for understanding.)

I think she did an outstanding job of taking my scribblings and turning them into a coherent and interesting story.

You can read the interview on the Adland Forum or at TheWriteTimes.com.

In the future, the Adland interviews will also be seen on TheWriteTimes blog. A couple have been posted with more to come.

One of the great benefits of being interviewed by Melissa is meeting new people, making new friends, and getting so many compliments and good wishes.

I am humbled and grateful for the experience.

Why don’t you come on over and visit me at AdlandPro?

Appalachian Highland Games will be moving to a new venue for their 4th annual presentation of Irish, Scottish, and Celtic heritage.

From their web page:

“In 2004, Appalachian Highland Games will move to Andrews, NC 28901. All events will be held in the Andrews Recreation Park. Our new venue is larger, more people friendly, and easier to get to than ever before. Large parking areas adjacent to the Park make for easy access. Parking is FREE! There is ample seating around the securely fenced athletics area. Take a stroll under the oaks and sample the wares of our vendors. Enjoy a variety of acts and entertainment such as sheep herding, Highland dancing demonstrations and singing, youth events and pipe and drum bands. Tour the Heritage tent and learn about the early Scottish settlers whose descendants still populate these mountains, visit with the mountain crafters as they practice ancient skills. Come by the Tartans Museum booth and discover your tartan. Talk to Clan representatives and learn more about yourself and your forbears.”

The gates open at 8:00 am on September 11, 2004. Visit their website for more information about pricing and for driving directions and a map.

The 4th Annual Appalachian Highland Games will be fun for your whole family.

About two weeks ago, while working on one of my websites hosted by Site Build It!, I wanted to create a weblog for maintaining current information about telecommunications. While it is possible to create a weblog, of sorts, using Site Build It, it wasn’t what I’d become accustomed to using Radio Userland or News Pro.

I decided it was time to investigate the state of the art concerning RSS and syndication, and that led me to the newest version of Radio Userland and the replacement for News Pro, Coranto. Both are heavily invested in RSS and XML and it was time to do some updating and building of new infrastructure before I could make progress on my original goal.

Now, I’ve installed Coranto on JohnDilbeck.com and DilbeckConsulting.com. I created a new weblog at blogger.com. I’ve updated some of the settings at johndilbeck.editthispage.com. I downloaded, installed, tested, and purchased a license for Radio Userland version 8. Now, I’m ready.

At this point, I create my weblogs (also called blogs) using Radio Userland, which automatically uploads to I Succeed By Helping You Succeed and to John Dilbeck And Friends. (Links updated in September, 2006, to point to current sites.)

Then, it’s a fairly quick procedure to copy the entries from my original Ramblings site to it’s new host at http://JohnDilbeck.com/news/ where it’s powered by Coranto, and to my blogger.com blog at (link deleted). I’m running most of the entries concurrently on all of the weblogs, and I don’t know if I’ll continue doing that or if each will take a direction of its own in the future.

Either way, the background work is completed. I have to add a few more pages to several sites where I’ll use syndication via javascript to show portions of the blogs on pages that will be automatically updated with no extra effort on my part once they’re in place.

In a couple of months, I’ll know how this is working and how well it suits my original desires.

Now, it’s time to turn my attention back to marketing and selling.
