I was sitting in the lobby of the Hyatt having a beer and minding my own business when some guy comes up to me and says, “Hey Darren!”
Well…he soon realized that I was, in fact NOT, Darren.
Of course, I didn’t know who he was, but I did find out that the “guy calling me Darren” (as I referred to him in my head for a couple of days) was Joel Comm author of the AdSense code..good book, check it out.
But, it didn’t end with Joel.
I still had no idea who Darren was. But it became clear. At the Underground Online Seminar that I attended, one of the speakers there was none other than the problogger himself Darren Rowse. And then it hit me…Joel must have confused our heads. Understandable. I assume the lack of an Australian accent was what probably tipped him off.
But then after Darren Rowse spoke, I had other people coming up to me telling me about my great presentation on blogging. I admit it started going to my head. In fact, whenever people came up to me and asked for advice on blogging, I suddenly developed an Australian accent.
They were all spellbound by my advice on blogging like only post once every 6 months, use a lot of profanity in B2B blogs, and–my favorite–make sure your blog talks about a wealth of unrelated topics to keep readers on their toes.
All the while, they were busily taking notes.
Yeah…it sure was good being the problogger for a while.
But all good things must come to an end.
I may not be the problogger, but I did learn a lot from him. I have already started implementing some of the things he recommends in my blogs.
Tune in tomorrow when I talk about why I dig Digg.com (and why if you have a blog you should too).

Thom,
A genius…please my ego can’t take it. And my mother doesn’t need any more ego boosts either:)
Thanks for the comment…
