It is still my plan to create a subdomain to host all of my posts on ecommerce. I have a lot of material. It is what I do most of the day. But for now, I will continue to put them here.

The Only Employee

It’s a slow cycle when you are trying to learn everything you can about the Internet, Search Engines, Social Media and all the rest that just creating a presence online entails.

There is no easy way to do it all at once on the job. The goal would eventually outsource some of these tasks, but if that is not yet affordable, you have to do it yourself.

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. So at those times when it looks like you’re failing, it’s probably the best take a look at what you’ve done and at the progress you’ve actually made. I decided today to take a look at how my writing progressed.

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!

I use Flock. One reason is that some plugins I would have to install are built in. Another is that Flock doesn’t use Live Bookmarks. The last time I checked, you couldn’t shut these off in Firefox. This post should show you how to make it run a bit faster.

So if you bookmark a site in Firefox and the site happens to have a feed, it’s coming along whether you like it or not. And Firefox will periodically update the feed at the expense of performance.

A feed reader is supposed to speed things up. You don’t have to visit the blog to read what’s been published.

That’s how mine started and somehow I have managed to collect over 2000 feeds which I have categorized along the way:

• Advertising
• Affiliate
• Blogging
• Design
• Developer
• Forums
• Internet Marketing and Make Money
• Money (finance)
• Productivity and Freelance
• SEO
• Social Media
• Tech
• Thinkers
• Upcoming and Memes
• Wordpress
• Writing
