Blogging Presidents, Revolutions & Mergers 16
Don’t panic, I am still alive!
I know a few of you have been wondering what has happened to me, but I assure you all is well. All apart from my trusty laptop, that is! Yes, the unthinkable has happened and my mothership has been destroyed. Note to self - Laptops and Lemonade do not mix!
Luckily I earned enough from the Blog Flipping last month that it has paid for a new one!
What have I been doing?
Well, I am not going to write ambiguous post about how ‘busy’ I have been, but rather I intend to folow this up with a ‘proof is in the pudding’ post. That being said, I have been working hard and what I will say is that, very shortly, Nota Bene Consulting Blog will be moving! The truth of the matter is that I have taken on so much work since starting this site, that I am about to merge my online activities with another very well known figure! Want to know more?…questions in the comments 
On another note, I want to give a special mention to Phil Howlett, who (with my guidance) sold his very first blog on sitepoint for $299. Well done, Phil. I look forward to posting your testimonial over the coming days.
What’s Happening In The Bloggerhood!
Getting back into the swing of things after clearing some workload has been very difficult. A lot has happened since my last post, so here is a rundown on some of the best bits:
- A New President - Well done to Barack Obama! I’m quite sure he will make a great President, but who gets your vote for the President Of The Blogosphere? Go cast your vote now!
- A New Revolution - We all know and love the Revolution themes, but are you ready for Revolution Two? How about a Revolution - SuiteJ Style!
- Rocky VI - Well not quite, who needs Balboa when you can get some Freddie Taylor. Thought is a possibility - first in the mind, then in reality!
- Joe Has Learnt To Read - Normal Joe has been living in the library, reading books and everything! It’s an obvious next step for him to learn how to write and you can see the results! Awesome Stuff.
- Wordvixen Fails - To sponsor a competition, not to win it. Get your entries in soon!
- The Pineapple Goes Quiet - Where is Jeni? Maybe because I am still refusing to play with Twitter I am missing out on the Pineapple adventures…who knows?
- Adam Gets Creadiv - A new project that could prove quite popular!
- Is Ben Patton Too Big? - Big Ben Gets Banned!!!!! My workplace has denied me access to Big Ben Pattons Blog!
On A Final Note!
I’m sure you know this already, but I just wanted to Congratulate Bryan Clark on his most recent sale. Blog Flipping Blueprint, along with SiteFlipU, was recently sold for $32,500! Good luck to the new owner. This will continue to be a very useful resource for a great number of bloggers, myself included!
Damn, it feels good to be a blogger 
Great update man! Folks been looking for you! I almost put out a missing persons! Nah, I know you’ve been busy…luckily you’ve kept in touch enough so it’s all good!
Thanks for the love, I hope people can watch the progress of my new venture and be inspired man! Anyway, looking forward to the new merger man! Bring it on!
Alright Neal, we can call off the search party! Good to know you getting get lost in the Blogosphere and just have been busying talking over your part. Sounds like you got an awesome problem with too much work and growth of your business. If we all could be so lucky, right?
Thanks for the link love and the stumble. It is appreciated. That was my first list of such nature and it is turning out to be a good on. You nailed with the FREEDOM comment. How in the world did I miss that one. LOL!
Anyway, keep it going, Bro….and the ninjas will be check in to see how your progress is going. Looking forward to that post to give us the details of what you have been doing!
I had a feeling you would be awake first!
Thanks Joe. Good luck with the new venture. All will be revealed soon
LOL @ Missing Persons!
@ Freddie: You got caught in the spam for some reason, Mr Taylor.
Details are coming soon. I’m actually working on that post for you right now. I’m back in action and they are gonna come thick and fast!!
I must say I am liking your new theme!
Glad you liked the comment, No worries on the stumble and see you in the Hood!
Wow - that must suck, but lemonade is good so I guess it kind of balances out! I didn’t even know you were getting into flipping, but considering that you talk to Jay (if even half as much as I do) it’s kind of inevitable!
What kinda lappy did you grab?
It does feel good to be a blogger, and on the blogsphere. I absolutely love every minute of it!
I’m curious to see who this “online figure” is that you’ll be merging with.
That’s right! If you were on Twitter you’d know where I am, and where I’ve been Mr! lmao
Let’s see- left California, went to Vegas (yes, again) then Denver. Following day, left for South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore. Now I’m back in Denver, planning to go skiing Friday, eat lots of sushi, and take a few pictures before catching a flight to California on Monday. Should be heading home to Cabo San Lucas soon!
I know you have a Twitter account! I can seeeee you!
@ Eli: I have been flipping for a while now, just not sold any sites for a bit. I have been building them up quietly. Did you not see my ugly mug on the BFB sales page?
You wanna know who it is? Do you? Do you really wanna know?
@ Pineapple: Busy as always I see. Leaving work now but I will get a twitter account set up tonight and then I can stalk you! Wait…do I have one already??
I kept checking my RSS feed for your latest update. Was about to have someone check your house for a pulse.
Glad to see you’re alive and kicking. And that was a very fine flip by Phil. You taught him well.
A merger with a well known figure? Hmmn. Got me.
Everyone says the first flip is the toughest, after that it’s just rinse and repeat. Congrats Phil!
And it sounds like congrats are in order for you as well Neil. When will you put these poor people out of their suspense and announce that you’re moving to Mexico with Bryan to be his pool boy?
@ Missy: Thanks for the concern. I am alive and well
Phil did a great job on that - and I know he did a good job with your logo too! How is your flip going?
@ Skitzzo: I saw you in the forums the other day…nice new flipping project you got going there. Thanks for stopping by. Rinse and repeat, you know the score.
Though I did discuss going to Mexico, it was not to be Mr Clarks’ pool boy! LOL
So I take it you all want to know?
I don’t believe you…. I know you have just been kicking back drinking coffee liqueur and waiting for Christmas…. forgetting about all us poor readers.
Grrrrrrr - I’ll show you, Forest!
Thanks for reminding me though, xmas is nearly upon us - it’s time to get the Kahluha out and fix us all up with some White Russians!
Thanks pal! I got your beer once you come down to visit!
Thanks for the love sir. I knew you were alive the whole time. Your brother calls Canada collect and tells me all about you.
Now, who’s the person for crying out loud
Thanks for the love. I am thinking of doing a post like this myself to give you ninjas some love as well. I don’t feel like I have done my part as a group member yet.
