The punishment continues.  I know it's a little harsh to call it punishment.....and it is making us think.  So here's something I've learned from Project Blogger coaches.

JEFF TURNER - I could easily dedicate a whole post or two to Jeff alone.  I've learned from Jeff to keep it real, to be yourself and to communicate to my blog audience like I would to a good friend.  I also have a killer camera recommended by Jeff (you should have seen the Active Rain Gathering....it was like a Kodak party....everyone had the same camera).  And the tools.....so many cool tools (Jott, Gizmoz, Real Estate Shows,  the annoying little bubble, meez....).  I also learned to not take the PB judging to heart (easier said than done)...and my favorite lesson ----->Google Is A Woman.

ARDELL DELLALOGGIA - The biggest lesson I've learned from Ardell is to see your blog from a consumer's perspective.  Although I have to admit I am far from grasping the concept, it is one of the most important lessons.  We take for granted the perspective from which people read, and it's important to place oneself in the consumer's position and read from their perspective.  I hope she has a magic secret to share with us, but have a feeling it's all about practice.  Now I have to decide whether or not I want to be a bit more controversial....although not my style, I'm sure with the right topic I would be more than capable. I have to point out this post because the criticism was SPECIAL, Top Ten Apprentice Blog Posts - Warning -"Simonish" .

TERESA BOARDMAN - from Teresa I've learned that it can be fun to have "theme days" in your blog, like her Friday Fun posts.  (Hence the idea of Miamism Fridays was born.......maybe it should have been Miamism Mondays......but I like Fridays so much more).I also learned that people other than architects also enjoy architecture and historic homes (that was such a relief!). And that having a different point of view is very satisfying.  I loved the article on Blog Swaps and Guest Authors.  I'll be working on that soon, if I could just find a victim.

THE REAL ESTATE TOMATO - I learned one very important lesson - that it is OK to be a perfectionist.  From Jim I have also learned that there are really great sales people that we can all learn a little from.

GREG SWANN - What can I say about Greg but "holy cow can he write!!" - Every time I go into the bloodhound blog I am so filled with information that it's a bit overwhelming.  I will admit that Greg intimidates me, but I'm sure I will get over that soon.  He has a great sense of humor and is a blogging machine.

SELLSIUS - The KISS principle comes to mind (Keep It Simple Stupid) - their blog is always so inviting and so easy to read and navigate, their topic down to earth - doesn't hurt to be nice guys too.

I don't think I need to mention what I've learned from Paul Chaney in this post because I've dedicated at least a handful of posts to that alone.  As for the other coaches, I have to admit that I have not paid much attention to and that's totally my fault.  It could be because they are not in AR much, it could be because the wealth of information coming from the top three coaches above was all I could take, or I could say that I am trying to come up with excuses and should go pay more attention.  SEE ARDELL?  Another lesson.....do you ever stop?
