We talk about a lot of blog topics around here. How to write great posts, how to write compelling titles and how to deal with Search Engine Optimization issues. There is one thing that is often overlooked, old blog posts.
Search engines never forget. If your blog post already has a good bit of traction [...]

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 [...]

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."
What is Reading Deep? When your users are coming to you [...]

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, [...]

I have almost written this post so many times. I was hesitant for several reasons. The first being I didn’t want to insult anyone in the gay or lesbian community. The second is I didn’t want to talk bad about Google Adsense since they pay me.
Here is the rub. For the thousandth time I [...]

So I am trying something different tonight. while I am sitting, here watching some TV, I am this blog on a tablet pc with Windows Vista’s hand writing recognition and it really works! I thought it would be sketchy… it really isn’t!
Ok, now for the disclosure. I just switched back to the keyboard. It’s [...]

It’s my first full day with my team at the beautiful Redmond campus and it’s been great so far. Setting up 3 machines at once can be interesting to say the least. I have one main box with Vista Enterprise on it, a Windows 2003 Server box that is in progress of being set up [...]

So it’s January 1st, 2008. Tomorrow I begin orientation at Microsoft and I am nearly four days a resident of Redmond Washington. That’s a lot of new things to begin the new year with already. With the new job and home location in the mix, I thought it would be a good time to set [...]

Before I start a flame war with people, I don’t want people to think that this is a be all end all list of the best plugins to use for Wordpress. These are simply the ones that I have found very effective and use on this blog itself. I will take the list of plugins [...]

If you are like me, you watch your blog stats like a hawk. You probably have several sources that you use for gathering your information and you contemplate and toil over the results and calculations endlessly.
Well my friend, if you run a blog, let me simplify things for you quite a bit. The sheer [...]
