B-SCAN is a series of interviews with bloggers who include blogging as part of their integral transformative practice, and those who are "consciously" aware of the impact of blogging on self, culture, and nature, "integrally informed" or otherwise.
If there's indeed a Kosmic Blogging Goddess, Rebecca Blood is her incarnation. She's been blogging her heart out way back since 1999 when there were only a handful of "webloggers" experimenting with the new medium. She's a blogger with a passionate mind and compassionate heart, the author of the classic The Weblog Handbook, which has been called 'the Strunk & White of blogging book', was chosen by Amazon as one of the 10 best books on digital culture in 2002, and has been translated into 5 languages – a must-read for all bloggers who want to learn how to "blog it down the bones."

Rebecca's Pocket is an icon to veteran denizens of the blogosphere. When Rebecca is not hyperlinking, she's out there changing the world one speaking engagement, one conference, one forum, one article, one interview, one "targeted serendipity" at a time. Recently, she was kind enough to take some time and grant me this email interview. We talked about her personal experiences, her visions about the blogging medium, and the philosophy that fuels her passion. She's living proof that one doesn't need to have a complicated theoretical philosophical system to express compassion in the cyber and the real world.

Thank you so much for this post C4!!! I followed the links around and happened on Rebecca's suggested book Wishcraft on setting clear on goals and attaining them. It is very down to earth from what I have read so far. The above website allows anyone to download the book for free from the author. I am really enjoying it and this entry.
Salute!

thanks Zennie. this is TARGETED SERENDIPITY at work. keep on flowing my friend.
You deserve to try and make this post the most popularly viewed post ever by projecting it into an unknown future as much as you want because it’s just that good.
exactly. the Kosmic Blogging Goddess transcends time and (cyber)space. that is all.
But what happens on April 16?
same as what happens everyday and for eternity }{
You’ve reached your wicked awesome goal of making this post the most popular one EVER! 800+ views. That’s what a I call Redonkulous, and French-above-glorious.
Both good things for the most part.

hahaha. that wasn't my goal you fool! i just do that for every B-SCAN interview (e.g. keep them on top for a week or so). this just proves that Kosmic Blogging Goddess is indeed kosmic and is a goddess! w00t!
case in point: the Scarlett Johansson is the Sexiest Woman in the World post still hasn't gained that much views no matter how much i pimp it! this is the power or serendipity my friend. control is illusory! and yes, even serendipity is illusory! another w00t!

I seeeeee.
But you do realize that the post on top gets an instant view every time someone clicks your blog for the first time that day (not necessarily because they’ve clicked on that post specifically)? I think that’s the way it works. Doesn’t mean anything though…
Clearly you’ve Harley-ed the bucket load of ego-bolstering superficiality a high number behind your post represents and consequentally your intention is what is causing people to read the post in mass droves! You RULE! the Kosmic Goddess Blogging Queen-Girl rules TOO
seriously though… good post… and good luck.. I mean good night… uh… goodbye?! hello?! oh man I screwed that up,

How is Brondu seeing how many views you are getting?
try going to the POPULAR and HOT tabs, then hover your mouse cursor over it and a pop up thing will show you the number of hits. piece of cake.

yes i know. it's date driven. anything future-dated will be on top. but again, that's not the main intention. it's just part of targeted serendipity :)
correction on my response to Matthew. i think the Wizardz just updated the code, so you can see the comment and view counts on blog posts without even doing that cursor hovering thing. way cool!
