How do I write about my products? I have built a lot of different sites for a lot of different people and this question always comes up. I’m not quite sure why. Some of these people had had brick and mortar stores for years But somehow when it comes to writing about their products, they draw a blank.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking, Now with Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Dragon Naturally Speaking  10 Preferred Product Detail I’ve had a lot of setbacks lately. So I figured this is the best time for me to take a look at the past see how I’ve progressed. It’s a great thing to do when you feel like that you are getting nowhere or things are just not working out. Because something always is working, despite the doom and gloom. It is impossible to make progress in everything you do 100% of the time.

It may take 21 days to build a habit but it only takes a couple to break it. Hey, but Twitter makes up for, in one way. Not really, but I like to tell myself that. I guess if I write 40 tweets a day, that’s the equivalent of one post.

Dir23.com – My New Search Aggregator

I went off on a tangent last night and built this. It only took a few hours.

When you enter a term and hit go, it preloads all of the search engine links for you so you can click them and have the results open in the frame.

Please give me any comments, suggestions, new categories or new sites that Dir23 needs in the comments and have fun!

How to Write Fast – From Various Sources

I think it is quite ironic that I am writing this post while trying to avoid writing a post. I know why I searched for the topic in Google and while I tell myself it’s to increase the my writing output, I know for a fact that in order to increase, I just need to do it.

Lately I have been testing out both Wikidpad and The Journal. While I used to write more longhand, now I do most of it on the computer. I find it easier to find things I have written and actually put them to use. I can use search.
