Maybe the private blog is the way to go, though I suspect you'd need some time to get revved up for that. The pod/video angle sounds great, but that raises a lot of other questions. And it loses the immediacy that you enjoyed so long, which is one of the most unfortunate losses in all this.

That aside, I think that a multiple-contributor blog would give you support and provide some other perspectives. You could combine this with your ideas on coaching/ghostwriting and work with 'intern' contributors to hone their skills, see their work supplying your site, and give them the tools they need to take your philosophies and understanding out on their own tangents. It might give you a regular supply of fresh, new writers and keep things going while allowing you to step back a little. (If you did go with the intern idea, drop me a line, will you? *g*)

ould also do your (wonderful) thing around the blogosphere for a while (just not always here). Keep the juices flowing, continue to help people, foster even greater community growth, and not be an (ugh) static single target.

It would also make it a lot harder for bullying to take place, since anyone stupid enough to try it would be taking on a potentially even bigger community, as well as whoever happened to be hosting you. (Anyone who did host would have your back 100% and be able to manage comment moderation and such so you'd never even have to see the garbage.)

I do hesitate to run with the other commenters that say you should monetize this, but you should make it at least a part-time passion where you are getting to stretch out on the things you write about, and then allow experiences to craft other posts.

Thank you.

Honestly said, I don't think you can do anything to fend off the attacks. I don't think you got attacked because of something you did, but because lots of people admire you and your work. That's apparently enough for some people to hate you. Only by unpassionating your readers, can you hope to actually stop the haters. I hope you will reject that option.

Oodles of bloggers great and small would give a #1 Technorati rank (or insert personal thing of inestimable value here) to be able to host Kathy Sierra as a guest blogger. (Myself included.)

Only reason I voted for him was SARAH. I wasn’t even going to vote until he picked her. I had voted in every election since the late 1960?s.

What is really infuriating is his denial that he was attacking the Tea Party. He was “only reading a WSJ article” on the floor of the Senate. Hannity could have done a better job of hammering on THAT giant piece of brazen hypocrisy.

Take me for example. I could support Bachman, Cain, Palin, or Santorum. in no particular order. Others would choose fewer plus Paul.

Just look at the difference just 20-30 rock solid Tea Party conservatives have made in the House already. They’ve turned “1/3 of the government” on its head and started a war between the establishment party and the Tea Party.

Long together reader, I by the skin of one's teeth wanted to bruit about hello and I wait I can contribute as much as dick else has.

And a belated Happy Easter to you too! The fruit cakes being compared to bricks definitely makes my chuckle list…..perhaps some fruity garnish around the display would have added more relevance. It is quite strange how the human mind works, and association is key to avoid possible misyunderstandings like this one! Classic!

I was thinking the same thing about Alexa as there was quite a lot of movement. They might have readjusted their adjustment for “technology skew” - or what ever it was….

That’s fine for the House and Senate but for president, there is no way any conservative should vote for either Democrat that will be stuffed down our throats next year. The House is the grand prize. If we had someone like Jim Jordan as Speaker and more than the current 3 reliable conservative senators, the president wouldn’t matter.

I really enjoyed your music tonight at the Hare and Hounds - thank you!

Great night at Mossley footy club. u did a brilliant job and raised a lot of money. A true pro on the night. when's the next 1 lol

Mr Sax last saw you in the lobby of the holiday village choking on a peanut gutted cos we never managed to say bye properly but anyway fantastic show out there in Egypt in the pharoahs bar and in the view bar never heard a sax played like that before and an equally good voice have checked your gig guide and notice that you are near soon will trey to get along put cant promise all the best fella.

Great Voice!!!!!

just arrived home from Egypt after coming across you in our hotel (holiday village)

thanks and keep it up

J

I can't believe x factor turned you down. After watching the over 25's finalists not one of them is a patch on you. They are supposed to be looking for a recording artist do they know what they are doing shame they didn't show you on the one's they turned down

Nice one Carlo, great show tonight (Sat) at The Harradon A true Pro. Keep the good work up Billy & Jenny Oz

Such a genuine and talented Man, Carlo sax is an amazing and mind blowing talent with a friendly welcoming personality! We also have recently had the privilege of watching you perform in Egypt and also enjoying your company on and off stage! Thank you for our dedicated saxophone rendition of our first Wedding Dance, you made our honey Moon one to remember! Anybody would be lucky to have this guy at their function! Wayne You Rock!

P.s Ste said thanks for the beers!

I caught one of Carlo's performances last year in Turkey, completely by chance. My wife and I were blown away by it! Awesome.

And then, again purely by chance, in Egypt a few days ago, we heard a sound check in progress. Yep...you guessed it, it was Carlo! We watched that night and again, got blown away.

It may only have been a few days ago, but having got to know him a little since then, my wife and I both feel that we have made a good friend as well as having seen a very talented singer....and all brought about by his music!

Thanks for the company, the snorkelling, the beers AND the music!

And remember "You gotta do the drop off Wayne!"

THANK YOU WAYNE FOR MAKING MY 50TH PARTY SO SPECIAL YOU ARE SUCH A NICE GUY AND SO TALENTED. YOU DEFO HAVE A BIG FAN CLUB IN WIGAN AFTER YOUR SHOW. HOPE TO CATCH YOU ON STAGE SOON FROM KAREN X
