Cre8tive Flow

When watching a presentation, participating in conversations, reading, etc., what kind of information delivery sticks with you better?

What are you more inclined to remember? Numbers or stories?

Humor or facts?

Images or graphs?

Please tell us in our Cre8asiteforums Poll.

The 6th year anniversary continues and I’m still asking questions. These interviews have been enjoyed by the Cre8ative Community because they offer a little peek into their character and allows interviewees to share some things about themselves.

I’m still working on my pile of Industry Interviews. The following 3 members are the latest in the Member Interviews series.

Many in the SEO industry know “Wit”. Always helpful, fun and witty, he’s become a fixture at Cre8 and we love having him.

1. If you can remember, how did you first learn about Cre8asiteforums?

As the days continue, I’ve been hearing from old friends and honoring some of our members who have contributed the most to the Cre8tive Community.

Meet one of our most devoted members, Yannis Lazarides, from Cyprus!

1. If you can remember, how did you first learn about Cre8asiteforums?

I came to Cre8asiteforums via Google, just landed trolled for a few days and then decided to post and stay. One of my early posts was ‘With Apologies to Bragadoccio’
which was followed by a blog post by Elizabeth Able aptly named ‘With Apologies to Yannis . When Bill retired from being a moderator I thought of writing a post ‘With Thanks to Bragadoccio’, but I regret that I never got down to actually writing it.

As I interview and touch base with Industry favorites like Rae Hoffman, and showcase Cre8asiteforums Moderators this month, I’ve begun to mix together old friends and create a reunion of sorts.

While I polish up some of the upcoming Industry interviews, I’d like you to meet some wonderful people from the Cre8tive Community, in our continuing Moderator, Member, Industry Interviews: 6th Anniv Celebration Series.

Miriam Ellis, Moderator

While I’ve been interviewing people of interest in the industries covered by Cre8asiteforums, I’ve also dragged forums Moderators and Site Admins to the interview process. In our continuing month-long celebration of our 6th Anniversary, I’d like to present several of the Moderators.

It was the switch from long continuous hours to semi-retirement that encouraged me to join Cre8. More ‘family and friends about the kitchen table’ discussing subjects of mutual interest than business meeting or conference. And gaining new perspectives. The depth of knowledge, in Cre8’s archives and members, is comparable to most other fora but the community is ‘nicer’, for lack of a better word.

I can’t remember when I first came across “Sugarrae” but I do remember meeting her and having an insanely embarrassing dialog about hair color. Canadian-based Internet Consultant, Rae Hoffman, has been helping web sites and businesses with search engine marketing for over 10 years. Her articles and popular blog have made her a top industry favorite. When she investigates a web site or application, she leaves no stone unturned.

She’s faced personal hardships and used them to motivate her to work hard and build good businesses. While some folks may find her toughness hard to take, I’ve long admired her wit, drive and personal courage.

During our 6th year anniversary this month, Cre8asiteforums has been out getting to know persons of interest in the industries we cover and from our forums membership. Some people stand out at Cre8asiteforums for their loyalty and dedication to helping others. One such person is Yura Filimonov.

We’d like to introduce him to you:

Forum questions

1. If you can remember, how did you first learn about Cre8asiteforums?

I don’t exactly recall the moment, but I do know I’ve been searching for answers on some problem (possibly, hyphens vs underscores) and either arrived to the forums from Google or from another forum or article (there were few blogs at the time, ‘04), where the forums were mentioned.
