Morning Folks!!
I am going to try something for a while and see how well it is received. Each day I am going to be going through my archives and pick a favorite and what I would consider my more important posts of the 450 I have made over the last 4 years.
Most of the posts I choose will be geared at end users and newer but more sophisticated business people that are now coming into the world of domain names. They are coming from every walk of life and from every corner of the world. Some with deep pockets, some not. Everything in between. We have entered a new era and the origianl story needs to be told for those just coming into this movie we call domaining and we need to take stock of where we are and how far we have come for the old timers.
Each day an old blog post will be featured on top of my blog. It will be in the original form with the original comments. It won't be showing up on your RSS feeds or aggregators as they are not new. So check in each day and I think you will be happy you did. See your comments then, compare them to what you think today. Should be fun.
I got the idea last night when Franky commented on a post I made back in 2007. Not a comment left there for 3/12 years. Leave it to Franky to dig it up. Showing up on a deserted island like Robinson Crusoe. I left it for others to find and help them understand what I see and how I see it. Thanks for validating the timelessness of the thoughts. That will be my first post I will feature tomorrow.
Have a GREAT Day!

Great idea! That’s why I started Frank Schilling Gems. Everyone of them I only rediscovered when someone came to me from my comment link on his post. I think these are more relevant today than then and in hindsight it’s so easy to see the traps and pitfalls that could and still can be avoided if one heads the lessons of the past.

I agree with Frank on that for sure, that was a great post back in 2007 Rick that I have talked about a few times myself.

What was the post Frank commented on?
It helps domainers to read these old posts to see where we’ve come from, and the value of what we have.

I meant”replay” those Golden Oldies ;)

True, You know what they say: if you keep one eye on the past you’re blind in one eye, if you don’t, you’re blind in both ;)
