An Interesting Aside
Last week I was looking at my website statistics for this blog and noticed an entry I hadn't seen before. So I went to the referral website to see where my blog had been mentioned. To my surprise, it turned out to be a Computers in Public Administration course at Florida Atlantic University. As part of this course, Jay Mendell, Professor of Nonprofit Management at the University, is teaching blogging! I thought it was pretty amazing that blogging is now being taught as part of a university computer curriculum.
At any rate, Professor Mendell, who also maintains several grant-related websites, mentioned my blog in his online course notes. He asked his students to compare my blog to my main site at proposalwriter.com. I was curious as to what prompted this assignment, so I e-mailed him and asked about it. He replied, and then posted both our e-mails on his site as an example of how blogs can promote communication among strangers.
So now my blog is a teaching tool -- although I'm not sure if it's a good one or a bad one!
To see what I'm talking about, Go Here and scroll down near to the bottom of the page, a few lines after the paragraph that's highlighted in pink. There's where you'll find mention of my blog and the correspondence between Dr. Mendell and me.

Your site is a great site for those of use teaching or training others about proposal writing.
I'm designing a class for a MAT degree in Teaching using the Internet. My project involves a real project I am doing for work - training refugee community leaders setting up their own community based organizations how to write proposals. One of the resources I am sending them to is your site, so don't be surprised if you get a few hits from some odd sounding names from NH.
