Jason Burns’ Blog

I have gone through many changes with this blog, and one reason I don’t update it as much as I would like to is that I try to keep this thing a constant topic (or group of topics) that draw a particular type of user. Now, I love blogging, and I will continue to, but just like my wife, I find myself struggling with one thing. There are often blogs that I want to write, and should write, but I don’t because they aren’t quite appropriate to my blog.

I am pretty sure I will never be a professional blogger, and if I become one, then I will have made many more changes than this to get there, but as far as that goes, I am going to start using this blog a little more like a journal in addition to technology articles. Some of the things I would like to add are photo-a-day type blogs where I post cool photos I take and the story or inspiration behind them, stuff about music I am listening to or movies I have recently enjoyed and just general life stuff.

I won’t be on here whining about stuff or blabbing out personal information, that’s still not an appropriate use of my blog, but as I have so many friends I have made through this blog that follow it (and often ask why I don’t post as much) I will try to make it more active.

Sometimes writing long posts on technological topics takes time and it makes for a slow blog, so with that, I’ll pick up the pace a bit and start writing more about things that may or may not always be of interest to you.

I’ll be sure to organize my feeds in such a way where you can subscribe to just the tech articles if you want, if not, get ready, hopefully it will start as a trickle but end up as a flood of information that you might find interesting.

I have been playing with this for quite a while now and nearly begging Joe Cheng and the Live Writer Team to let me blog about it.
I have raved about Windows Live Writer before but now you really have something special for your blog writing needs. Special enough that I even use it (via a [...]

hopefully you have already read about what trends you should be following and how to write to capitalize on those trends. This last piece could possibly be the most important. It’s time we look at how to make your readers "Read Deep."

Now that you know what to write by following the trends, let’s talk about how to write. I don’t mean where to sit, what software to use, etc.. This is about how to research, how to pick your topic and how to make sure the search engines see it.
Making Your Topic Unique [...]

I have been mulling around this blog topic for awhile, trying to find a way to approach it that was unique and useful. We all follow our blogs closely, but as with anything, it’s what you do with that information that matters. In this article I will break down what trends you should be following, [...]
