You're only allowed a certain number of alerts, but you can use the word "OR" to cover multiple sites in a single alert. So, for example, I have an alert set on: "online networking" OR "social networking" OR "online business networking" OR "social network" OR "social networks" Yes, plurals are different, and there's a maximum of 10 words total (not counting the OR's) per search. It's incredibly easy, and one of the most valuable tools on the web, I think. >Also, I set up a blog at blogger.com and posted about a >dozen or so articles on it a couple months ago - but I >really don't know what to do with it. The problem with Blogger is that it doesn't have a lot of the stuff you really need to get the most out of blogging built in and/or switched on by default. Start with this article on "How to Network with Blogger": http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=720&topic=-1 And then follow it up with my "How to Network with Your Blog, Part 2", which includes enabling some of the specific things that Blogger doesn't have on by default (it may be a little out-of-date -- I think they've made a couple of things on/available since then, but it'll show you what all to check for). Once you've got that out of the way, and want to really learn how to leverage your blog, you can download my free report on Building Business Relationships with Blogs: http://snipurl/BloggingReport It's the original, unabridged version of the blogging chapter from our upcoming book, "The Virtual Handshake". We've had to edit it substantially for length, but we kept this around to give out. Good luck! Scott Allen http://TheVirtualHandshake-Network.Ryze.com Private Reply to Scott Allen (new win)
