One of the problems with being a self-taught web geek is the gaps that exist in my knowledge. I can do major hacks and tweaks in css, I can hard code html from scratch in a text editor and I do NOT know how do do the nifty screen shots everyone else on the internet [...]
I was tagged by Roger Anderson with a Thinking Blogger’s Award. The idea is to link to 5 blogs that make us think, and tell why we like them. The hard part is picking only 5, as I am pretty brutal on weeding my RSS feeds weekly, so I tend to only read the [...]
It has been said that bad artists copy, but great artists steal. I leave it to you to decide if I am a copier or a thief, but I am a bit proud of the latest incarnation of my theme here at A Politically Incorrect Entrepreneur.

As my Grandfather would say, I am busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs, but I thought I would let you know where I stood on some metrics I measure.

I think Andy Beard rocks.
He clued me in to the do-follow movement, I subscribe to his feed and generally follow his suggestions. I consider him a go-to guy when it comes to blogging and niche marketing. So when he started talking about Bumpzee, I was all ears.
I just do not get it, though. I signed [...]
Last week I added Kontera context links (links interspersed throughout the site that if clicked on, took you to commercial sites) to this site. Here are the results:
My page views cut in half.
I lost 10 RSS readers
I made $00.47
Therefore…
I have removed Konterra from this site.
(I realize that those bad things may or may not be [...]
Liz has thrown the third batch of blogging metaphors up, and the quality keeps getting better and better.
She has also extended the deadline to 10pm Chicago time (GMT-6hrs.) June 11th (that is a Monday), so there is still time for you to write up your best blog metaphor and email a link to Liz.

It is all about you. YOU are the most important ingredient here. Several of you have emailed me and displayed some confusion about the whole RSS thing. In an effort to make things easier for you, I now offer you the ability to read my latest posts via email.
All you have to do [...]
