No it’s not. It isn’t just anything. It’s your piece of Internet property. It’s the digital identity of you or your business. It might even be both. It’s what differentiates me from you, and you from her. Aside from avatars and photos, my facebook account looks an awful lot like your facebook account, and we’re all limited to 140 characters. Not here. Here, the possibilities are endless. And I can connect my blog to your blog… and his blog… and her blog. Which begs the question, do we even need facebook? Sure, I’ll choose to keep my facebook account, but it seems to become less important the more I work on my own property. Facebook is to renting, as blogging is to owning a home. And we all strive for that, right?
So don’t treat your blog like it’s just another blog.
* Just Another WordPress Blog is the packaged tagline that comes with new WordPress sites… I’m not the one who came up with such mediocrity.

Chris, Enjoyed our chat (and the beers) today. I couldn't agree more on your take here, especially “the possibilities are endless”.
Brad, I had a great time. Thanks for the conversation. I appreciate you stopping by!
I love your thoughts on this. Internet property that is exactly what it is.
Lets talk again soon
For sure, Matt. We're overdue. Thanks for the feedback here!
This is very timely. My friend just asked me if you had a website for your websites. Now I can tell her yes!
Your support has been awesome! Thank you! We should all get together soon.
My blog is and always will be my homebase. Everything else, every other social network, is just “borrowed space” in my opinion. With your own blog, you can do just about anything!
Hi Chris,
I really liked this post and enjoyed the “digital real estate”
Hi Chris,
I really enjoyed this note and appreciate your “digital real estate” thought process. You have a very nice blog design. Cheers!
Best,
Matt Spilman
