Dona Nobis Pacem

Peace Globe
“Give us Peace” is what Dona Nobis Pacem means. You can listen to the tune and read the lyrics , they are in Latin.

Today is a day to ask for peace in the world. Bloggers from all over are displaying their Peace globes on their blogs in a global solidarity stance on Peace. I’ve created a Peace Globe for each Blog. I was alerted to this by Mimi and this is her post on Dona Nobis Pacem, Mimi;s story is very a very beautiful tale. She also started working with Peace Globes back in November, 12 2006.

Many bloggers are participating, if you are then leave me a comment and let me know the address to your post about Peace Globes.

As far as my personal thoughts on peace, I have been influenced by the music of Ellis Paul (myspace), Christopher Williams (myspace), Mark Errelli (myspace), and Vance Gilbert (myspace) to name a few. These are people who’s music speaks to peace in the world. Take a listen and you will be inspired. Especially listen to Mark Errelli’s The Only Way, Ellis and Vance covered this song so well too. Ellis has a great song called 9 months to fix the world, having a child on the way that songs speaks strongly to me. And Ellis’ song Autobiography of a Gun is very interesting.

Why I Love PPP….

Some people do not like PPP, but you know what, I love them. I have been writing for PPP since last October. In that time I have made a good sized chunk of change. I made enough to move one of my blogs onto its own domain as well as pay for hosting for a couple of years. I said one of my blogs, I have 4 now. I maintain 4 blogs on a daily basis. PPP has turned me into a chronic blogger and I love it. I now have this blog, www.benspark.com which is mostly about my Photo-A-Day project, the occasional contest, like my BenSpark’s Refreshing Soda-Club Contest… that I am working in conjunction with a company called Soda-Club, I have been talking to them about becoming a PPP advertiser. So I’m not only building relationships with other Posties but I am building relationships with advertisers as well. I am very adamant about making sure I disclose that my posts are sponsored when they are and I try first and foremost to bring my readers, a group which as grown tremendously since the onset of working with PPP I might ad, great content on a daily basis.

I am more aware of who is reading my blog, people are interacting with this blog and my three others (BenSpark 2: Electric Boogaloo, Flatwater Tech, and The Wired Kayaker). And not all of my blogs are about simply blog marketing, they are about topics that people enjoy like: movies, technology, and photography. And my newest pet project is a semi weekly podcast on the Wired Kayaker.

Through networking with other bloggers I was asked to moderate a forum, write a weekly column and be a beta tester for the site FuelMyBlog. I find that being honest with people up front about the blog marketing that I am doing and not cheating them on the solid content has made me a much better blogger and it is with the help and support of PayPerPost that I have been able to achieve that. I have even been corresponding with some of the PayPerPost team themselves including Ted Murphy, the CEO and founder of PayPerPost. I hope I can get out to PostieCon and meet the team, especially Ashley, we will have to do a podcast together.
