Thank You


I just wanted to thank Jay, from California. As most of you know, I am a trader and my blogging skills are amateur at best. It is Jay that is a pro-blogger and he has been assisting me in making this FB 2.0 Blog better every day.

During a conversation this weekend, Jay informed me that traffic in the blogosphere can increase quite rapidly and I must prepare for this inevitable event.

Subscribe...

For those of you that are regular visitors, please take a few seconds and subscribe (I have added a link on the left side bar... and it is free) so that you will be recognized as a regular visitor. Anyone that subscribes will always be invited to see and track the the FB 2.0 trade real-time in the future.

Donations...

Jay also suggested I have a donate button (also on the side bar). He originally did it to buy me a bottle of wine ($25.00) in celebration of our 10,000th visitor last Friday.

If this Blog has assisted you in your trading and you wish to show your gratitude... make a donation. It would be greatly appreciated.

All donations will go into improving this FB 2.0 Blog and those that contribute will always be part of The Saxon Institute's favorite guests.

===

Again, Thank you all for making this blogging experience so rewarding and please continue to stop by and watch as we grow together.

Today's - Noontime Chat Session

What a lively chat session today; we had to cut it short or we would have been chatting for hours. However, we did get in a good hour and a half of chat.

It was a pleasure meeting and talking to:

Sam - Alabama
Patrick - New Jersey
Teddy - Wisconsin

It is really interesting to meet those that stop by the FB 2.0 Blog with regularity.

I started thinking about the demographics that this Blog attracts and it came to mind - There are no women! They must be hanging out at the Scrapbooking blogs.

Anyways, the chat has clearly been a success and we will do it again next Friday at Noon EST.

Hope to talk to you then.

Barlow

Traffic - 10,000 Visits!

Sitemeter, works similar to a checking account; they do not start at zero. The first visitor was number 1001. So today, we actually had our 10,000th visitor when we reached 11,000.

I never thought we would have 10,000 visits in such a short time. Admittedly, this is truly amazing and surprising. This FB 2.0 Blog was originally for a few trader friends that wanted my buy and sell levels. It took off (the internet as it is) on its own.

Blogging became very interesting to me. I found I enjoyed it - helping other traders and teaching can be a very rewarding experience.

In the past two months I have met so many new friends and had the chance to have some great conversations with traders.

Travel along with me as I learn more about this Blogging World.
