Renting Cyberspace?

For those of my readers who are also BE members, you know that a cyberspace is real estate. Renting a space on your website is a concept that I think is really interesting. I had a contest about 8 months ago where I awarded the winner free space on my blog. Why rent your blog?

It is a step up from trackbacks or linkbacks, whatever you might call them. Renting your blog is all about introducing your readers to another blog that you like. Blogrolls do not quite cut it for me. I have a section where I have direct links to people who I respect in the world of management and career building. I am going to start a new section to add direct links to those blogs that I like, but are not “career/business” blogs.

I put Surviving and Thriving up for rent and was delighted when I received a bid from my new tenant, Carol or better known as the “Median Sib.” Carol is almost a neighbor geographically. She describes herself as an early baby boomer, a reading specialist, mother of two, and grandmother of two. She loves reading, writing, camping, hiking, mountain biking, dancing, golf, and being with family and friends.

She started keeping a diary at the age of 10, when her father gave her a brown leather-bound diary. She has kept one for about 45 years. She says that blogging is just a different way for her to do what she has been doing for so long.

She is the fourth of seven children - the middle child or the median sibling, or the median sib.

Please welcome Carol to the Blogging Boss. I am glad to have her as my tenant this week. Go check out her blog now, The Median Sib.

Have a great day,

Eric
