Senior Member Robert_ Posted June 22, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hey everyone! I know I haven't been around a great deal in the last few months. I've been super busy with school, family stuff, and working on other stuff. Enough excuses, though, right? Anyway, about a week ago I was thinking about how I need to get my sorry butt back on the forums and do what I love - help out other hair loss sufferers. I mean, it hardy seemed fair that I was out enjoying my hair (4.5 months post op from Dr. Cooley and counting!) and not contributing back to the forums that I love so much. So I'm back. But with something extra. Many times, when guys are trolling the internet they come across bad information about hair loss inadvertently. I came across a way that I could alleviate this. I built a hair blog with RSS feeds enabled. Now, anyone that reads collaborative blog feeds like digg.com and shoutbox.com will see my new posts to my blog every day. I also have links that come back to here, the HTN, Dr. Cooley's office, etc. This way, there is more good information out there besides the slew of "hair mill" and snake oil ads that everyone comes across. I still have a lot of bugs to work out but I've been working hard to get some of my articles on there. Plus, the picture on the upper-right corner will be an animated .gif by tonight's end (hopefully!) Anyway, glad to be back! Now I'm off to check my PM inbox! -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member JakeVig Posted June 22, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2006 Congratulations Robert! kudos for the informative website you're off to a great start! Its well written and very informative. Im guessing by the Page1,Page2,etc tabs that you are still building the website. The only recommendation I would suggest is to write your story on how 'you grew back your hair' complete with pics and timeline if possible. 1344 grafts with Ron Shapiro - June 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Robert_ Posted June 22, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks, Jake. Yup, I'm working on those page tabs now. The content for my own story is coming up. It will be the ongoing theme for the blog. ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member kg007 Posted June 22, 2006 Senior Member Share Posted June 22, 2006 Welcome back Robert. Your posts have helped me and many others a lot. I have been pretty busy myself. I barely get a chance to read all the forums now. I am also 4.5 months post-op, and will post pictures as soon as I take them. Your website looks pretty good. Very informative! But couldn't find your pictures anywhere. KG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member Robert_ Posted June 27, 2006 Author Senior Member Share Posted June 27, 2006 Thanks guys. I've been working pretty hard on it and I am anything but a web design guru. I posted all my photos that document my progression from my first and second procedures. I also just set up an RSS feed on it so you can get regular updates if you have a feedreader. -Robert ------------------------------ Check out the results of my surgical hair restoration performed by Dr. Jerry Cooley by visiting my Hair Loss Weblog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
