I’ve Been Syndicated!
Posted by Stropp on August 30, 2007That sounds painful doesn’t it?
Don’t worry, the Mob hasn’t been visiting in order to fit me out with a pair of cement thongs. (You Americans call them flip flops I think.) It’s a lot less dangerous than that.
When I first started Stropp’s World I looked into a number of different ways to publicize the blog. After all, what’s the good of an online blog if no-one reads it, right? One of those ways was by joining a service called Blogburst (which sounds a lot more painful than a Mob visit) which feeds articles from different blogs and provides those feeds to different news services.
After joining up I promptly forgot about it. Until the other day when I received an email inviting me to join. I checked and it turned out that I was still joined up. What’s more was that it turned out that a couple of my articles had been syndicated.
Both USA Today and Reuters picked up my article about the opening of the Fury Beta, while USA Today also picked up my post about how Lord of the Rings Online is planning regular updates. Click on the links to see the articles.
I’m pretty chuffed about this. It’s pretty cool to see my articles presented on not just one, but two major news portals.

Nice one! well done
Fame at last
Oh well. There’s my fifteen minutes gone.
Nice one Stropp…have you got much feedback from the articles yet?
Will try this out too & let you know if I get accepted.
I didn’t actually get any feedback. I should have mentioned that these were syndicated in the last few months. I just wasn’t aware until I logged into Blogburst. And then I did a little happy dance.
Yeah damn right you should be well chuffed, recognition and publicity is what its all about
@Super Ally they are two things that come from good writing which is what all bloggers should make their no.1 aim…all else follows
