Start-ups, Marketing & StuffWritings, musings and generally lighthearted banter

Check this out. Take a bit of a break and please all of my American friends realize that we all survived through 8 years of the most idiotic president in the history of the United States. As a die hard Canadian and one who is a Conservative Liberal (go figure) it’s not a partisan comment. George Bush is simply an idiot no matter if you are Liberal or Conservative. Please watch this and argue otherwise:

God Bless Barack Obama.

You probably now know him as John Roberts the CNN Anchor, and previously as the CBS White House Correspondent but if you’re Canadian maybe you remember him as JD Roberts Muchmusic VJ extraordinaire. Even though that was 20 years ago it’s hilarious to see him with the stylin’ mullet cut. That was short lived and as soon as he joined CityTV in Toronto that was quickly cut off.

On behalf of all Canadians I am begging: John Roberts bring back the mullet!

Seriously though John Roberts is another in a long line of Canadians who have made us proud by becoming a fixture in American broadcast journalism. But seriously John, the mullet was classic.

Check these out:

The Muchmusic Pepsi Power Hour!

On CityTV – JD Roberts graduates to the real newsroom:

Wow – is this John Roberts? It’s pretty amazing to have seen one person’s entire career and in fact what is effectively a transformation:

So then John Roberts moves from CBS to CNN:

Finally John Roberts is the best anchor on CNN. Look at how he handles the idiotic right wing Laura Ingram:

Just thought I would let you all know that I’ve made this blog do follow. Now remember – real comments only please but they will pass link authority.

As I am going through this resurrection of my site I’ve had the opportunity to rethink a few thinks in terms of categories, tags, URL structure, Sub Domain structure and in particular making all comments DoFollow.

Having said that I installed the DoFollow plugin yesterday for a few reasons:

1. It will incite comments – hopefully relevant comments.
2. I want to pass link authority for those who I want to link to from this site.
3. Defaulting as NoFollow is really the backward way to do it. WordPress by default adds the No Follow attribute, although I understand why the need for NoFollow by default.

Having said that I am curious. Is your blog a DoFollow blog?

Update:

Over the pas months I’ve had excellent success in building online reputation through Do Follow blogs.  Here is a fantastic list from Squidoo of categorized list of Do Follow blogs.

I’ll be updating this page with more Do Follow resources.

Due to the Craptastic nature of EMC Web Hosting I have been forced to relatively quickly move my domain to my dedicated server. Which in the end is a good thing but in the short term is an annoying thing.

Stay Tuned. I’ll be back shortly with everything updated and new features as well.
