I've done that too. When I mean to hit "Save" or "Schedule," I actually publish it. No problem on my end, though - I'll just have to wait until next month to comment. Thanks - I'm looking forward to it. -Marshall Jones Jr. Oh, I know… I’ve done that too. When I mean to hit “Save” or “Schedule,” I actually publish it.

Don't worry about the "ripoff" thing. I know that Practical Manliness is very similar to AoM, so it will be my job to show the difference. About the comment problem - that article was not actually supposed to be published. While I was editing, I accidentally pressed "publish". Once I realized the error, I took the article down, and it is scheduled to be published in about a month. Sorry for the trouble. @ bondChristian

Thanks for your comment!

I definitely got the Christian vibe right away - I'm not sure why. Perhaps it was because of how I found you (through the Rebelution). Sorry about the term "ripoff." I didn't meant to belittle the site - I meant it more in jest. As you said, Stormbringer, I think every blog (at least for now) is a ripoff of another... mine certainly is and so are the other blogs I read. Though I definitely think Practical Manliness is a closer copy of AoM than AoM is of AskMen.com, I'm looking forward to participating in the direction you have going here. Anyway, happy blogging to you. I hope I'm way more of an encouragement to you and others here than a discouragement. With the way I seem to have started, I'll have to get extra active to make up for it. :) On a completely unrelated note, I noticed when I tried to comment that "How to write (and publish) a magazine article" didn't show up on the blog even though I had it in my RSS reader. Is there a reason why you took it down, or am I just missing something? -Marshall Jones Jr. You’re welcome, Nate. I definitely got the Christian vibe right away – I’m not sure why.

There are several sites for men, and I believe that there is a need for various approaches. It is not a ripoff of AoM, just like AoM is not a ripoff of AskMen.com. Different approaches is all. AoM developed, and I'm sure Practical Manliness will sharpen its focus over time. One suggestion, if you have a forum or "community", you may want to make it clear that it is clear that it has a Christian perspective. Just wanted to elaborate on the “ripoff” aspect.

Practical Manliness is in the same general niche as AoM, but we have a slightly different focus: While AoM is written for people of all religions, Practical Manliness focuses on Christian manliness. Although people of other religions are (obviously) welcome to read, we do come from a Christian perspective. bondChristian,

Thank you for your encouragement, sir.

An obvious ripoff of The Art of Manliness... but then so is Stuff Christians Like, and I like Jon's site too. :) Very cool. I'm looking forward to reading more from you and watching how this develops more. Thanks for writing. -Marshall Jones Jr. By the way, I found you through a comment you left at the Rebelution.

Although I have too many (if you sign up for a service, surprise! new address), I have something professional sounding as well as something fun. Choose between "Cowboy Bob", "Stormbringer" or "First Initial Last name @ my ISP". Since there are reports that prospective (and current) employers check what you do on Facebook, watch out what you put on there and who you associate with. Best to not even use the thing, in my view. But social networking should be kept separate from any contact information that you want to give anyone on a professional basis. That way, when someone gets drunk and cusses you out or posts a questionable picture with your name tagged on it, there is some distance for you.
