2 Years Now in the Blogosphere

I had a really neat moment tonight. Recently you may have seen I put GTalk links in my sidebars on all the blogs. My intent was to connect in real time with people reading my blogs. Tonight a guy from Japan sent me a message on GTalk and we had a brief [...]

Think of Ten: James Dean Attitude of Blogging

I want to gather all bloggers together and disscuss why we care so much about our posts.  After all, most of us are lucky if ten people read our posts each day.  There are a few bloggers who get huge and thousands of bloggers tune in (or, click in) to read their stuff every day.  [...]

This is my Last Post (not)

I thought it would be an interesting topic for a post if I did a search with that string (minus the not).  I found a few cool ones, but for the most part, it was the same old “This is my last post” on blogger, or with this University, etc.  I was looking for the [...]

Blogging = Easy Money?

For the past year I have grown into what I finally consider a professional blogger.  I started almost 2 years ago just writing newsletters out to my extended family but then Technorati got a hold of my inspiration and I began to see what an established blog was.  I wanted my blog to be that.  [...]

I ran across these excellent links on my safari this week. If you enjoy them I hope you’ll bookmark them through social media such as:

Technorati - Truly Frustrating Company

I’ve been with Technorati.com since December of 2006 and have found them to be a confusing, only remotely helpful blogging index.  There have been countless times my 67 friends turned up as zero.  Then, later, they pop up again later.  My incoming links (blog reactions) are sometimes weeks in refreshing.  But all this wasn’t so [...]

New Priorities for Blogging

After much thought, I’ve decided to reinvent my mission statement.  The CAN page has changed and you’ll find the following(below) if you go there.
From the revised CAN page:
It has been said: “If you aim at nothing, you will surely hit it.”
That’s why I rate my own blogs monthly.
It’s also been said that if you do [...]

Blog Better Series Intro

I’ve learned so much about the ins and outs of blogging.  Almost into my third year now, I am creating posts to comprise a series on how to “Blog Better.”  From starting a self-hosted Wordpress blog to getting your paragraphs together, this is stuff I have taught myself through trial and error.  I hope you’ll [...]

Template Your Way to Blog Greatness

Besides the elementary rules of usage, there are some elementary guidelines of composition, or writing, that can make any blogger better.  If you’re reading this, you probably have a great style and just want to make it better.  Let’s face it though, there are a lot of blogs out there that really need some help.  [...]

The Elements of Blogging

Sometimes I wish I could fix all the annoying things I find on blogs.  Has that notion ever filled your head?  How do people think they can get blog traffic when they can’t write a cohesive paragraph?
It’s been said there is more than one way to skin a cat.  That is true of getting blog [...]
