		<description><![CDATA[What's a good entrepreneurial-minded, blogger, website manager to do? START SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m starting to get pretty comfortable with this blogging thing, even though I&#8217;d still like to post more often than I have been. environmentastic! is beginning to be recognized in the blogging community, with no small thanks to <a href="http://entrecard.com" title="Entrecard" target="_blank">Entrecard</a>, and I&#8217;ve been receiving emails from blog directories asking if I&#8217;d like to list my blog (with reciprocal link backs, no doubt), I&#8217;ve been asked for link exchanges from green blogs, sites, and others (some not remotely coinciding with the topic of environmentastic), and I&#8217;ve even begun to be sent products to review&#8230; watch for a review of some products being sold at a large office supply chain very soon &#8211; and an interview with the product manufacturer&#8217;s CEO!</p>
<p>Having said that, I feel that my comfort zone has expanded.  So what&#8217;s a good entrepreneurial-minded, blogger, website manager to do?  START SOMETHING COMPLETELY NEW!</p>
<p>So that is exactly what I am doing.  Having never really done anything like this before and having seen some small success at blogging, I&#8217;ve decided to add an &#8220;eco-directory&#8221; to environmentastic!.  You can see its (very bare and sparse) beginnings at <a href="http://directory.environmentastic.com" title="environmentastic!'s eco-directory">http://directory.environmentastic.com</a>.  The only category in it as of today is &#8220;News and Blogs&#8221; so it&#8217;s a good time to get your green blog submitted (I know at least two or three of my five readers host their own green blog)!</p>
<p> <img src='http://www.environmentastic.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So, if any of you have any experience starting a directory, or even if you just have some ideas on categories that might belong in an eco-directory, please comment or suggest them on the <a href="http://directory.environmentastic.com" title="environmentastic!'s eco-directory">eco-directory</a>. So far, it seems to be very easy to use and update. One disclaimer &#8211; I am, right now, the only person managing the directory&#8230; this means I will be the only one approving or declining suggested URLs.  So don&#8217;t expect a quick turnaround on approval &#8211; but I promise I will get to it!</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to encouraging ecological goodness and Earthy-friendliness on the world wide web &#8211; and in the world of bricks and mortar as well!</p>
<p>Namaste,<br />

Don&#8217;t forget to leave a comment if you think of appropriate categories and/or subcategories for the <a href="http://directory.environmentastic.com">eco-directory</a>!  I thank you in advance; I want this directory to become the number one place on the web to find green, natural, sustainable businesses and information.</p>
