    JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    It has been brought to my attention that Jonathan's latest blog has been posted on various sites without a link to this site.

    Can I ask that if you do this to please include a link to this site as you would when copying articles from other sites on here.

    Thanks

    Thanks Cathy. Yes Good thinking! Yes

    Also - hopefully when people post up the blog in other places - they will post the link to it rather than the actual Blog - that way it gets lots of views on the Official Site .......... Smile

    Great blog from Jonathan. I'm very excited to find out what he means about " very exciting news on the music and singing" .........and I hope we do get plenty of notice on the date of the cooking programme -  Market Place. I notice it's on all over the place in the schedule so could be an easy one to miss.   

     

    Love Molly xx  Smile

    Good idea Cathy Smile Possibly the way to do it (as you will see other do Wink ) is to post the intro or the highlights with 'to read more' and a link so people interested will click thru and hopefully see more information that is of interest to them?

    But could we go a step further and add a thread for each blog here so that the link can be to the first post and that thread (as it is not possible to add a link to the actual blog only to the OS which is kinda frustrating - ask Mags Stick out tongue) Then we can communicate directly here with Jonathan re the blog and so can everyone else as that is what most blogs offer ?  The added bonus will be that Community Server is actually a blogging platform as well as all the other things so it will be picked up in blog searches etc etc which sadly the blog on the OS is not whereas this forum is and so too is MySpace - try a blog search on Google Smile

    Also need the blog posted on all the Social Networking sites but hopefully that will come too Smile

     Sorry about not posting a link back to here on Digital Spy when I posted Jonathans blog there  the other day Smile was an oversight Smile.

    But also can I just add personally I can't agree that posting only part of the blog and a link to the rest on sites like classical x and Digital Spy is a good thing-really hope noone minds me saying that Smile.

    I just think posting just a little snippet and a link -especially when it comes to Jonathan's lovely blogs is not encouraging visitors to these forms to know more about whats happening with Jonathan -or expressing Jonathan's lovely personality with good full content on these forums.I just think we need to make it as easy as possible for visitors to sites like classical x and Digital Spy to get their Jonathan update should they choose to look -and hopefully if they want more info here the link would always be there with every blog.Well what does everyone think -have I convinced you to post the full blogs and link back each time or not Big Smile?

    Either way is fine Smile -but I can't speak for the Jonathan forum i'm a mod at- J-A I think they might want to continue posting full blogs with links -for the reasons mentioned above content,personality etc ..

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    Actually I think Jessica does have a valid point about posting the whole blog on sites like DS and Classical X. DS in particular - there are probably lots of posters over there who would read the blog on the site but not bother to come over here to do so.

    The blog could be posted in full on there with a link to this site?

    What is the majority opinion on that?

    I think it's a very good idea to have this thread with the full blogs in - to discuss them in - and then put the thread as a link to other sites too.

    Love Molly xx

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    Well here is the collected wisdom on blogs - the main idea of posting one is for the writer to communicate personally with their audience/community/blogosphere and have that audience communicate back so forming a dialogue - a link.  So effectively that needs to be here or on MySpace etc etc.  If they are always posted on other sites in full or without a link, with the very best intentions,  there is no reason for the any less committed to come to the original post, which defeats the object of the exercise.   But I do not want to stop people spreading the blog only to ensure that the action brings people back to the centre Smile  The more connected a network/community the more effective it is.

    However because the way the blog is added to the OS it is difficult to add a direct link and people cannot respond. And in an ideal world they would be encouraged to do a bit more like signing up for the newsletter or join this forum.  It may sound contrary but that was the reason for the suggestion for posting the blog on here as it can be found in blog searches and people can respond to it here in the same community.

    I will just give the example of Il Divo - they have just one forum, blogs were posted from each guy on that forum and people are able to respond and see what others were saying.  This forum is the most active of any artist in this genre and the responses are now being shown on their OS home page - they are also the most successful.

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    Well I'm all for anything that will bring people to this site and encourage them to become active members. Yes

    And I have always believed 100% in the "united we stand - divided we fall" ethos. Smile

    So what do you think is the best to do Di - should we post up a blog taster on other sites then - with a direct link to this thread - where we (if I understand you right) will be posting up the blogs in full and discussing them?

     

    Love Molly xx

    Essentially yes - whether that is the whole blog or as you say a taster is probably more down to where it is posted and people may have different views on this but if they post on the basis that the idea is to get people to click through then whatever they do will be the right thing Big Smile 

    Lets get back to enjoying the read Smile

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    I think we all agree really Smile-basicly we just need to be reminding readers on these forums about the OS and include links back as much as possible Smile ? -i'll just leave the posting of Jonathans blogs on other forums for others to decide Smile.

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    I originally posted the full blog WITH the link on ClassicalX and then edited it to be just a taster after reading this thread. I am now confused what you all want - please let me know what to do for the best in future as I do not want to go back and forth editing it. - thanks.Smile

    I am for the full blog and a linkBig Smile

    29th april

    Hey again,

    As promised here is yet another blog.

    I have to apologise first for the confusion with tickets for the 'Night at the opera' tour in Oct/Nov this year. I know that some venues released them early and others are holding back. All i can say is sorry! I know that the promoter is doing all they can to rectfy the problem. The details will be up on this site asap too. So anyone who isnt aware of the tour can get on board and come see me later this year.

    I am busy still with meetings and brainstorming sessions for the 2nd album at the moment. And i am so excited about it all.

    Also i am building up towards the Classical Brits, that take place next week at the Royal Albert Hall. i am performing 'Un Giorno Per Noi' with Hayley. It is promised to be a fantastic night.

    lastly........ well thats it for now i guess.

    take care,

    Re: JONATHAN'S BLOGS

    The new blog is on his myspace. I think it's great that he has put a link on it so that we can link it from our own blogs, plus be able to add to facebook.
