Wendy kicked the whole thing off: a group research project, where we each take on a subject, research it, learn how to do it, post about it, and form the ultimate blogger’s to do (and how to!) list.
I decided to tackle Podcasting. It is one of those things that everyone talks about, but I just [...]
Back in early February of this year (2007), I decided to branch out from what was then my main blog and tackle a blog targeted to the small business market. It was a wonderful idea, but I was not really ready. In typical ready-fire-aim fashion, I jumped the gun and got some great early links, [...]
One of the great things about WordPress and the chief reason I use it as the foundation for all my blogs is the incredible amount of customization you can achieve using plugins. I was helping someone set up a blog for the first time this past weekend and I thought about all the plugins I [...]
