The number of educators online is constantly growing. I think the new challenge will be in keeping up and not burning out.

Well, let me add one more voice from someone who has identified with your experience. I started on Twitter a few months ago, and been blogging less than a month now, but each new day I find I make two or three more really great connections. What a great time to be a teacher!

Congratulations on your blog, Nick. I have really enjoyed looking through your posts. This one in particular perfectly sums up what one act of kindness can do to help in the bigger picture. One simple comment from a fellow-blogger can be life-changing. I can identify with what you have written perfectly as it happened to me too, right at the beginning of my blogging journey.

I wish you all the best for the future. Have lots of fun with your blog.

Janet

Henrick – I have the same feelings. It’s wonderful getting to know everybody. So much creativity and enthusiasm out there. It is like we’re all co-workers, but the difference is perhaps that everyone is working and sharing together. I can’t say the same for all places I’ve worked in any field. The people online are some of the people that care the most and I think it shows in their effort and dedication. I’m so happy to have met all of them.

Well done with your blogging Nick — you’re doing an excellent job and it’s a great story of how you started.

I’ve checked and your blog definitely isn’t being indexed by Google. My expertise is working with WordPress MU which is slightly different from a single install of WordPress. But just check in Settings and see if you have a Privacy tab (i.e. Settings > Privacy). If yes, you need to change your Privacy setting to I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers.

Otherwise I suggest you chat with Burcu Akyol to see how she made sure her blog is being indexed by Google. Long term you really want Google to index your blog.

Hi Nick,

It always strikes me to see that many people who weren’t “big” in ELT have found out they actually do matter, and quite a lot. One of the greatest benefits of twitter, blogs and all that’s out there is that you can create meaningful connections if you do the right thing. Sharing is one of the best things we do online, and we only do it because we’re all willing to become better professionals.

Lovely post! I could totally relate to it even though I still haven’t had the chance to actually personally meet and talk to any of the wonderful people I’ve met and who are now part of my professional life. It’s like we’re all co-workers in the same place – a rather big place.

Cheers,

Henrick
