An Opening Word

 

A month ago I had a conservation with a Facebook friend regarding what people send on the social media without getting a very effective result of their intellectual efforts. I used a simile as “putting so many bricks on top of each other without building a monument” that can remain and resist the constant attack of time through the gales of oblivion. Waves come and hit them to the cliffs of “being in a remote past” and crush ideas into the realm of nihilia.

This friend liked my proposition to try to create a place and starting to put bricks, stones and mortars into a toil that synergises somehow into some effect, though modicum.

  1. A lovely idea Peter. Thanks for the effort to make a reality a seed of an idea get this site off of the ground where people can share their thoughts, ideas and experiences and maintain full control.

    Perhaps this can act as a bridge where we can send the links to the content that we write, to Facebook and so maintain ownership. Perhaps also this could apply to any photographs or video that we create, but no doubt this may yet have to be decided as a possibility because of the size of media files.

    This is an input as a suggestion for this fledgling project and perhaps with more input from others, this project will fly.

  2. This is more pricey compared to GSA Search Engine Ranker as well as is a
    little a concealed cost when initially setting up shop, however in truth you can not
    anticipate to automate web link building without either automated
    captcha addressing or a paid service.

    1. Thank you for your advice. I am not a techi myself but I am appreciative and happy just to be able to use the site which was kindly set up by Peter Jones.

  3. Having read this I thought it was really enlightening.
    I appreciate you taking the time and effort to put this content together.
    I once again find myself spending a significant amount of time both reading and leaving comments.
    But so what, it was still worth it!

  4. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your weblog when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?

    1. Hi Johne, Thanks for your comment which leaves me wondering which article in particular you are referring to. It highlights the fact that all comments have been directed to ‘Opening Word’,which was the opening article, rather than specific articles they may be intended for. This site has only recently been set up and there may be format issues that need to be sorted out or even perhaps how I myself am using the site.

      Generally, how I tend to work is that I have a wide general knowledge and also keep my ears open to new news. This may elicit a response which to communicate the resulting thoughts which usually involves intuition as well as inspiration and on that basis use the internet to check out if it is correct. So whenever there is a link posted, it is to serve as an affirmation and also recognise that some people are ahead of the game already and so am more than happy to credit them for their work. One particular feature is knowing what questions to ask when searching the web and often answers to questions are not forth coming until the question is phrased in a particular way.

      In response to the JFK files, a comment on the original Rolling Stone article relating to E Howard Hunt mentioned the name of Madeleine Brown who was the mistress of LBJ and she gives an account of here experience on video. There is also a second video given by the shooter behind the picket fence and this prompted me to put pen to paper on 1st November and write six pages of comment which came in one go but it is often the case that I write from enthusiasm and inspiration and in the end cool off about posting or other things come along such as the Bolshevik Revolution in relation to the Balfour Declaration, and also there are other inspirations that are played out in my head but don’t get written but would like to.

      There is also a spiritual experience that I had 40 years ago next year, among many others over the years, which I suspect is connected to Engels, Marx and Darwin’s theory of evolution, which was conveyed in specific words and which took place, I later found out 2 years later, in a street that Engels is said to have lived in but the person who told me that could not discover”which yard it was in”, her expression. So there is always more to come as long as I am not too idle to express it.

  5. Wow! This could be one particular of the most useful blogs We’ve ever arrive across on this subject. Actually Excellent. I’m also an expert in this topic so I can understand your hard work.

    1. Thank’s, that’s very kind of you. Which one are you referring to as all the comments end up on ‘An Opening Word’ so it is difficult to know. If it is the Bolshevik Revolution and Balfour Declaration then that is also very interesting that you picked up on the relationship between the two.

  6. To paraphrase, how do you do a search for information sites that fit what I want to check out? Does any body have learned how to BROWSE through blogs and forums by content or anything that on blog writer?

    1. Hi Johnk172,

      Researching can be very time consuming and have given some pointers to Smith234 on the subject but additionally try asking a particular question on the topic you are trying to research and if that doesn’t work try rephrasing it a different way. Sometimes however you can just put in the name of the topic, straight without any bias and see what turns up. It is good to book mark anything interesting found or even copy and paste the web address. There have been time when I overlooked doing that and found it impossible to relocate them again.

      Sometimes it can be a good source of information to read the comments that people make and this can be more interesting that the content of the article itself and can also provide information about where else to look that is credible.

  7. I was just seeking this info for some time. After six hours of continuous Googleing, at last I got it in your web site. I wonder what is the lack of Google strategy that don’t rank this kind of informative websites in top of the list. Generally the top sites are full of garbage.

    1. This is a new website, so perhaps it has to work its way up the rankings, but from experience it can be quite time consuming to find the appropriate information required. In the past I have just gone straight to page 10 to start a search but it is pot luck if anything of value turns up anyway. If the content on the search engine begins to fizzle out then work backwards a little to see what turns up.

      In the past I have even cancelled my broadband at the end of the contract because it seemed to be a wast of time and not worth the money so it became my own austerity measure and just used Wi-Fi wherever I could get it.

      It is also about being able to recognise the validity of content that is written but often there can be a bit of a bonus in searching for something which refuses to turn up and that is that you may come across something completely new along the way which you weren’t looking for in the first place, but again it is all about being able to recognise its value and validity.

  8. Usually I do not read post on blogs, but I wish tⲟ say that this write-up very orced me too try and
    Ԁߋ it! Your writing taѕte has been amazzed me. Tһank you, veгy niⅽfe article.

  9. Thanks for your encouragement, it’s much apreciated. I have been totally fascinated by this one on four counts,but if you are ever in a position to see boating on the Thames then you may understand what I mean.
