How I Created My Own Blogging Curriculm

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

Dealing with Incomplete Information

I learned in a De Bono thinking course that for some things, you will just never have complete information. So there is some point where you have to stop learning and researching and you have to move on to doing. You could research for the rest of your life and never come up with the complete answer.

Right now, without the book in front of me, I can’t exactly remember how you discover that point. But I am calling it now.

I have learned a lot of things online. The process usually goes like this:  Read more... (1302 words, estimated 5:12 mins reading time)

I Will Be Exploring Freelancers

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

It’s time to shift my focus a little again, back to projects, code and campaigns. I am just this close to having the theme done for my other blog. And then I will using all the things I learned at this blog to get some visitors over at that one.

I have noticed when I do this, that the language I use in my blog posts change also. It becomes more matter of fact. I use less complex sentences.  Read more... (508 words, estimated 2:02 mins reading time)

A One Hour Blog Renovation

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

I have been looking at the layout on my blog for a little while now, calculating what I wanted to change about it. But I didn’t make the changes right away. I just noted them and went on with other things. There was a lot of changes I wanted to do and a little more research needed to be done before I did any of them.

I signed up as a sponsor of the MoneyBites contest a couple of weeks ago. One of the things I gave away was ad space, which gave me a deadline for redoing my site a little. Well, that deadline was two days ago.  Read more... (1082 words, 1 image, estimated 4:20 mins reading time)

You Can Trust Me Just About As Far…

Posted by & filed under Uncategorized.

I sometimes look back at the posts I have written and then back at my site and think, "Damn, these people must think I’m an asshole."

I say, "You need to do this. This works too. And try this."

When I look at this blog and other sites I have, none actually fit the perfect rules I have written in stone on this blog or in my past articles.  Read more... (701 words, 2 images, estimated 2:48 mins reading time)

The April MoneyBites Contest

Posted by & filed under Blogging, Uncategorized.

There are $800 worth of prizes in this thing and I’m one of the sponsers. And it was perfect timing because I am a little hungover today and this can take the place of the post. I drink rarely, so hungover is bad.

Enough drinking stories. I am giving away 3000 Entrecards credits, an ad spot, and a Premium WordPress theme.

The spot for the ad is not up yet. I’ve been meaning to readjust my sidebar before the announcement. But this will give me the motivation to do it this weekend. I am switching from Scratchback to a block of 6 to 8 125X125 ads. Not sure if I will be using a service or buying a plugin to do it yet. So that’s where the ad will be.  Read more...

A Question of Semantics

Posted by & filed under Blogging, Database, Feeds, Programming, Software, Uncategorized, Widgets, Gadgets, and Extensions, Wordpress.

A while ago I wrote a post questioning the issue of reblogging. Posts are often reblogged on meme tracking sites which use an algorithm to detect popular stories and ideas. Posts are also reblogged to blanket certain categories or markets. And then some are reblogged by people with made for Adsense sites or splogs.

My reason for covering the topic was to create a more complete picture of what I am trying to present with a post. I can’t cover everything and if I write a post about feeds, it would be nice to have the past research I did on the subject not only readily available to me while I write, but also for the readers who want to dig deeper into the subject.  Read more...
