My guest post is about blogging to reach readers, something I learned from you guys – and I hope I do it right.
John’s site it awesome, so please show him that Alex’s Army rocks and leave a comment after reading my guest post!
And thanks for visiting RaShelle’s site this weekend, A No. 2 Pencil Stat! Glad her Halloween party was a big success as well.
Oddly enough, I crossed 400 followers on Saturday. That just blows my mind! Seven months ago I hovered around 30 followers, wondering if I’d ever see 100…
I didn’t get to see RED – again! But NetFlix delivered a cool flick and I’ll review it tomorrow. As Shrek would say, really-really!
Don’t forget to enter my contest to win a free copy of CassaStar! Comment on this post HERE and on just one of my virtual tour stops. (See tab above for a full list of stops.) Contest ends October 31 at 9pm EST.
Now, go visit John's site!
I'll go check out the guest post!

ReplyDeleteOMG!! 400 followers!! That's awesome and amazing and spectacular!
ReplyDeleteI've been having some issues with Netflix lately as well. They keep jumping past movies on the top that don't have a wait on them, it's been very frustrating for my fest as I've missed rewatching some movies that I don't own.
Woo-hoo! Go, 400 followers, you super-blogger, you! Congratulations.

ReplyDeleteI'll be over this afternoon to show my support as one of Alex's Army!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm asking all the libraries I come across to order your book. I take them a slip of paper with yout name, book title, and ISBN to make it easy on them.
Usually I fill out a simple form at the reference desk and they'll call me with a yay or a nay if they can order it. I'll keep you posted as I hear anything back.

I went to see RED on Saturday. Loved it. I laughed like crazy, things got blown up, all in all a great action comedy. One of the better movies I've seen this year.
ReplyDeleteAww congratulations on the followers! Making a jump of 350-odd followers in seven months is an amazing feat, well done!
ReplyDeleteAlex, you're doing a phenomenal job. Keep up the good effort, it's bound to pay off.
ReplyDeleteAMAZING!!! CONGRATS!!!!

Congrats with 400 followers! That's so awesome!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the 400! That is HUGE!
ReplyDeleteSorry about Red but can't wait to see what you're reviewing!
is that 400 just recording blogger numbers? Does it catch people you subscribe to your RSS feed through readers? You could have more.
ReplyDelete400 followers!!
ReplyDeleteThat is the "harvest" of what you did the last seven months.
And I'm sure there will be more after people have read and enjoyed CassaStaR.
Congrats on your 400! You bely the myth that blogging is just for women.
ReplyDeleteStephen, thanks! That form makes it real easy, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteYeah, Falen!!

Thanks, Edi. No idea why, but it happened.
Karen, guys can blog, too!

Congrats Alex! 400 is quite a big accomplishment! 500 by next week perchance?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Abby.
ReplyDeleteMason, looking forward to you closing down the tour.
Bryan, I wouldn't know what to do with myself!
congras Alex. 400 is already in your rearview mirror...
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 406 followers! That's a lot! Soon you'll have 500.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your visit, I met your blog through Pat Tillett. Regarding your question about what is my picture, not to answer, because few people see the same thing. As if no match is that it is a very violent scene, there are a crucifixion believers and nonbelievers who see a war. As an abstract I like that each person thinks his own work, My job is to suggest to the images. Congratulations on those 400 followers.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on 400 followers Alex!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm off to visit the next stop on your tour now!
400+ followers is an impressive feat in such a short time. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome, Alex! WTG! You are having a great year...
ReplyDeleteI find 400+ followers amazing. You should create a workshop to offer at conferences on how to build a following!!!

Congrats on 400 followers! You've earned every one!
Congrats! Interestingly enough, our blogs have grown the last 7 months at about the exact same rate. We should have a 500 follower party together sometime.
ReplyDeleteLookie you! Not only do you have 409 followers, but look at your comment numbers per post! Just how is this happening?
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm neglecting something--but Elana's comment count is sky high, too.
Hmmm...

I knew signing up for 100 Google shill accounts would come in handy! ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your rise in followers and your ever growing exposure...may they both make your dreams come true.
ReplyDeleteLee, thanks!! That's awesome.
ReplyDeleteVicki, no camo. But how do you feel about about spacesuits?
Cheesboy, that would be cool, but I bet you still beat me.
Elizabeth - beats me!!
Martin, that's sneaky.
Thanks again, everyone.
Wowza, 400 followers! Congrats! Following the blog tour is a lot of fun, and it's kinda scary how quick the Army is getting followers...

ReplyDeleteSorry I missed sooner buddy. Congrats on joining the 400 club. 370 in seven months? Guess that means you'll hit 500 by January?
