WEBWARRIOR: DR BILL, THE OZARK GURU

This week's featured WebWarrior is Bill Smith, known as the "Ozark Guru," by some, and "Dr. Bill" by others. I've had the honor of knowing Dr. Bill for over a year, and never cease to be amazed by his dedication and tireless energy in working to promote, as he writes on his blog, ARRA News Service:

"...God, family & country...the rights of citizens under the US Constitution, traditional family values, Republican principles/ideals, transparent & limited government, free markets, & individual freedom."

Dr. Bill has been a strong supporter of the Ft. Hard Knox project, and we are so thankful. His blog, the ARRA News Service blog is a state blog that has gone national, and gained in popularity because of it's frequent, well-written, well-documented informational and perspective posts. He has effectively used feeds, a newsletter, and various social networks to extend his influence, establish and grow his web presence and SEO, and bring traffic to his site. His hard work has earned him a Google Page Rank of 5/10 (very impressive for an individual state blogger!).

In between blog posts, Dr. Bill supports over 40 Ning Networks, including Sheridan Folger's Sovereignty Alliance, which has been a huge promoter of the recent Tea Parties, and state sovereignty movements.

The Ozark Guru is also very active on Facebook, with nearly 1,200 Facebook friends, and on Twitter (@arra), with nearly 6,000 followers.

Dr. Bill is also the National Political Director for Conservative Solutions / Let's Get this Right (also on Facebook, and on Twitter).

The Ozark Guru is also active in promoting conservatism many other places - online and offline - far too many to list here. We at Ft. Hard Knox wish to thank him for his continued service to our country, and for his enduring support of us and so many other conservatives. We also wish to honor him for his incredible work online.

CHECK OUT RIGHT-WING NEWS ON ALLTOP!

A couple of weeks ago, we wrote about Alltop.com (HERE). Well, we're happy to announce an update.

@GuyKawasaki of Alltop.com saw our post, and contacted us on Twitter to offer to add a category for conservative posts. I worked with him to consolidate a list of the conservative sites already signed up on Alltop, and he set up: Right-Wing.Alltop.com.

Very cool! Check it out!
