Insights from 8 Intelligences around the Blogosphere

Bloggers eight intelligences're bursting this week with great tips and insights from experts in many fields. Check these out...

Interpersonal: Each week something new's launched to enhance blogging, and sometimes it takes awhile to be sure it's kosher. Last week I noticed a graphic at Converstations that puts a face on recent visitors. Mike Sansone told me to click "View Reader Community" to join MyBlogLog. Thanks Eric for devising a way to find great sites and build community in a space easy to access. Best part is the whole concept is graphically oriented so that you see your community.

Logical-Mathematical: Mike Sansone suggests keeping a calendar with routines to develop weekly rhythm and pace as a blogger. Mike's post extends insights on Pace Wires Performance and shows patterns that work well for him. And, it's a great way to vary your posts each week!

Verbal-Linguistic: Brad Shorr at Word Sell shows how to spice up your writing by using verbs with more punch. And, Brad carries this off with pizzazz you'd enjoy.

Intrapersonal: Ellen Weber says "People who laugh at themselves have the last laugh." Are you scowling more at work than finding fun there? Ellen offers tips for you to "grow" your skill to bring humor to work.

Spatial: C.B. Whittemore reminds us that we can capture consumers with an engaging store window.
C.B. offers insights on how to pull that off. Don't miss this post chock-full of information and strategies from experts in the field.

Naturalistic: At Writelife, Bill shares virtues in deciding to move from Edmonton, Alberta to Moncton, New Bruswick since he avoided the "chilly wrath of icy gods." Take care though, Bill, before making a statement of this sort since winter is not over in January. And in 2005, folks were stranded at the airport there! I wish you well for the rest of the year.

Bodily-kinesthetic: Shandy King introduced uWink, a new design restaurant with runners and no waiters. Amazingly, there's an interactive panel display at each table where you can order great appetizing food. Folks can use Apple laptops, headphones and ipods and tagged images from Flickr on the walls added zest to the already busy atmosphere. Uwink is the brainchild of entrepreneur Nolan Bushnell, former CEO of Atari and Chuck E Cheese.

Musical: YouTube's a great place to go to find great music. Since jazz moves my brain waves in ways that enhance writing, check out Wynton Marsalis's Cherokee and try some music as you write. You may have to adjust what works best for you.

OK.. on to another week and without doubt I'll locate even more great nuggets!
