The Ultimate DoFollow Blog List

Posted by & filed under Blogging, Commenting, Feeds, Linking, SEO, Wordpress.

I figured I had to go over the top with this one. Not quite sure if I have. You tell me.

I have been using Fast Blog Finder to find dofollow blog posts for me. It helps and then it doesn’t. I don’t spam. I like getting beneficial links back to my site. I use tools like this because they simplify the process. But sometimes the posts are a little bit old. And I am not quite sure of the etiquette involved. Is an older post OK to comment on? I could see refering to it from a blog post. But after a post has 20 comments, how much do you really add to the conversation if it has ended?  Read more...

My Online Writing Resources Directory

Posted by & filed under Family, Journal, Marriage, Wordpress, Writing.

Eristoddle.com is the third domain I’ve owned. My first was Profit-ware.com which was banned by Google for years and now has a Pagerank of 4. I have found a use for that site and will be moving forward on it soon. My second was ClickbankEbook.com which now redirects to Digital Products Review.

It began as an internet marketing site running on PHPnuke. PHPnuke was the first CMS I played around with and the reason why I started learning to code in PHP.  Read more... (837 words, estimated 3:21 mins reading time)

Don’t Be a WP 2.5 Hater

Posted by & filed under Wordpress.

I have had issues with WordPress upgrades in the past. Nothing makes my day like going through the upgrade process, refreshing the page and getting a nice clean white screen. And then activating the plugins one at a time to find the culprit.

But with 2.5, I’ve had no issues yet. Of course, I’ve not upgraded on my two my main blogs yet. But the upgrade went through without a hitch on three other sites. I use the same set of plugins and only activate as needed on new sites. My plugin folder is about 12 MB in size. If something was going to screw up, I think it would have.  Read more...

Traveling Detail Light

When studying a new technology, I plunge in headfirst. I have read a lot of books and from experience, despite what I learned from books, I still had to have a picture of what I was trying to learn on my own.

Up to that point, I was basically following directions, hoping that the steps would give me a clue as to the reasons behind the process. Because once you have the reasons things are done and the reasons why they are done the way they are, you can travel lightly.  Read more... (1871 words, estimated 7:29 mins reading time)

How I Created My Own Blogging Curriculm

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)

Some WordPress SEO Thoughts

Posted by & filed under Keywords, Linking, Search Engines, SEO, Wordpress.

I lay awake at night thinking of things like this. Not long. A few minutes or so. Sometimes I get an idea when I am driving. Sometimes I write the ideas down. Sometimes I see if they will pop back up on their own. The ones that do get focus. But I always give them a little freedom. That way they can tell their friends that I am a good home. And then I wait on the friends.  Read more... (2584 words, estimated 10:20 mins reading time)
