To get the ball rolling on Spotlight on Sites, I am proudly displaying my good blog buddy, Kyle. I have known Kyle for over a year now and his site, Kyle's Cove is one of my personal favorites. Kyle and I have quite a bit in common. We both are family guys, love technology and love to blog. You will find a lot of value in Kyle's site... when you visit, tell him that you found his site on Garry's!
If you would like to have your site put in the spotlight, simply drop me a comment below with your request. This is a free service. Get your request in quick because there will be a waiting list on this program for sure!

Hi Garry
Another great ingenious idea from you.
I would like my humble blog to be considered in your "Spotlight on Sites"
I can relate to you because we are both family guys, love technology and love to blog. If my blog got bump up to the top fold of your site, I think i'll feel really "top-notch" then!!!

Hello Garry,
Another great innovative idea that's sure to please. Please consider Article Discovery Politics for your site of the month. The site focus is on politics, news analysis, and Internet business. Thanks for looking it over. Best regards, Gerald David
Okay this isn't really about entering for the header, but I wanted to comment on how great your blog looks today. I see the cloud is gone and love the header. Much easier to read for me now. I can only imagine how many comments you are going to get on this entry. What a great PR person you are.

<h4>Your Site Will Be Featured For One Week</h4> I will be featuring your site for one week after Kyle's Cove!
I will feature your site. I am changing things up a little bit... this is hitting off very well and I am changing the format to a week!
So yes, you will be next after Kyle's Cove. Doing this for a month would be the breaking point. But by changing this to a 7 day format I feel it would allow me to me more flexible with the sites being featured.
Again, there is nothing wrong with your site... I just had to question how effective the ad would be running for 30 days. 7 days is better balanced and again, allows to to expand further on broader topics other than the primary topics my readers come here for.
Congrats! and sorry for the rough screen process! :)

Your site will be in the Spotlight for 7 days and will be displayed immediately after Betshopboy!
Note: You asked for my input on improving. I would modify your about me so that people can learn more about you as a person and also quickly learn more about what your blog site is about.

<h2>Congratulations!</h2>
Your site will be in the Spotlight for 7 days and will be displayed immediately after K-InTheHouse.
P.S. Create an about me page and tell everyone more about yourself. First time readers will have a difficult time getting to know you as a person behind what you write on your blog. I wanted to look further into this and the only page I felt that would expand further is located here:
but at the time of checking this page, it was down. I have no clue where you live, what your interests are or anything of a personal nature. We are all people... individuals and are all unique in our own ways. Reach out a little bit and share more about yourself to the blogging community.

P.S. Being that your site is already the 16th most popular external link on my site, I am sure that your day campaign will be effective on the site. Nothing like politics to ruffle a few feathers.

David Greene

Many thanks Garry,
And Congratulations to you for the great progress you have made with your site.
You must not need very much sleep or be a very fast worker or both.
And yes, politics seems to bring out the very best and the very worst in folks, especially with the 2008 election campaigns already underway. I don't think I will run out of material to blog about anytime soon.
All the best,
David

P.S. Sorry my friend. The list starts from the top. Your site will be featured in about 10 weeks. I have a feeling though you will want to start from the top end of the list. The promotion as been running less than a day and there is already tons of requests. 10 Weeks isn't too bad... of course you made the comment prior to me changing it. So I guess you knew that you were looking at a 10 month wait. So 10 weeks isn't too bad! :)
Garry Conn
· 2 years ago
You are very welcome and it is well deserved. You work very hard on your site and it is one of my personal favorites! So you better get used to being the guinea pig on a lot of my creative marketing and traffic building promotions! :)
Garry Conn
· 2 years ago
I don't sleep much at all. I average about 2 to 3 hours per night *or rather morning before my kids wake up. And yes, I am a very fast worker... this is just a personal blog site of mine. I run a ton of other sites too!
My wife is the opposite on sleep requirements. And it still amazes her how I can operate and function properly off such little amounts of sleep. I know it is bad for me, but man... I just can't deal with being unconscious for long periods of time. There is too much going on, too much to miss... 8 hours of sleep is 33.34% of a day! That is total madness to miss out of so much of the day! I just can't conceive of doing that. I have about two days of the week where I do sleep in till about ten, and it does feel pretty good to be able to just sleep! I know clinically that you can't make up for lost sleep, but man it sure does feel like I can on my two sleep in days!

I haven't compiled all my sites onto MyBlogLog yet... although I have been wanting to do it. Below is a list of a few sites I have online.
Hi Garry, You guessed it, I would love my site to be Spotlighted, even if I have to wait 35 weeks! lol!
Did you get my IM about my Error 404 disaster?
Venu

Garry, Thanks for pushing the lazy bugger :) I just updated the "About Me" page !!
Garry Conn
· 2 years ago
Wow! Great work! It was so much fun learning more about you and your family and the places you have lived. I now know you as a person and that allows friendships to happen easier. Your about me page is an exact example of how I would recommend everyone to make their about me page. I can tell that you took my advise very seriously and have invested a lot of time and work into this page. Very cool! Congrats on your successes with the site too, I noticed that it is a PR4! That is awesome. It is nice to meet and nice to get to know you and I look forward to putting your site on the Spotlight in the upcoming weeks ahead.

Hi Gary
This is a cool idea. I would like to submit my site Grow Your Writing Business for consideration for your site spotlight.
hey Garry, it would be an honor for me and my site to be presented on your blog. It'd really appreciate you looking over my pages, I am quite sure you did that already sometime ago when I wrote those theme ethics articles about sponsored themes. I pingbacked you like crap and finally you left a comment :)
Thanks a lot, jez

Hey Garry, is the list already full or why don't you reply anymore? Just curious, no offense!
Garry Conn
· 2 years ago
Jez,
The list is not full but there is a little wait. No offense taken, you are simply curious and asked a question. What harm is there in that?
I didn't reply to the rest because it had only been a day since my last response and there is a 10 week wait from the point where I stopped. Not to worry, all is good!
jez
· 2 years ago
ah great, thanks for the quick heads up. were you able to delete that comment that took you to a malware site? I noticed you were running some kind of auto-moderation script for the comments: usually those are good against bots, but if dodgy users enter content manually it is useless, too.
I can imagine that monitoring every comment that is being made on your blog is hard, so if you don't mind I will keep you posted about things I spot?
Yours, jez
Garry Conn
· 2 years ago
I would love for you to do that. It is hard. Because as you know, I am already having some issues with real comments getting held or deleted. I have to moderate the comments that go live, but I also have to moderate the spam comments and try to sift through them for real comments that get missed (the harder task).
jez

I wish you had put a start date as to when my 7 days of Spotlight will begin. You bet I'll be writing a post about this innovative idea of yours.

Garry Conn

When the time nears... I will be contacting you to get info from you, etc...
from there I will have a date...
As far as an estimate date, you I am going to be turning the ads every Friday.
As far as MyBlogLog Avatar, you are forgetting to fill out the website field in the comment form. I have gone back and added it in. So, next time you comment, just make sure to include your website address in the that box and you should be good to go! :)
