Upgrading to WordPress 2.7

Tuesday, December 30th, 2008

I’ve taken the plunge and upgraded this blog to WordPress 2.7. I tried it out on a couple of my niche blogs first, and it was pretty straight forward. A couple of plugins had to be upgraded as well, but this is simple (if a little time consuming).
WP 2.7 has a number of changes which [...]

WordPress2.6 Released

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

I’ve just updated this blog to WordPress 2.6, and I’ll be going through all my niche blogs as well. WordPress 2.6 introduces much better plug-in management. You can now delete unused plugins from within the WordPress admin panel, and you can select and activate multiple plugins at once. The last feature is probably the main [...]

Blog Marketing: Establishing Expertise

Thursday, June 12th, 2008

If you are attempting to build an audience as an expert in your niche it is important that your blog posts show off your expertise.
Some people attempt to paint themselves as an expert by telling everyone what an expert they are. Unfortunately this approach–even when it is true–tends to create the opposite impression.
Here are [...]

The Ultimate Web Marketing Strategy

Saturday, January 12th, 2008

Ed Rivis recently mentioned that he’s taken his book, the Ultimate Web Marketing Strategy, off the market. He’ll be releasing a new paperback version shortly, and he’s promised his blog subscribers a free copy of the PDF version. Get over there and subscribe to his announcement list before he changes his mind.

My Top 9 Plugins

Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007

I thought I’d do a list of the plug-ins I’m currently using on my blog. This list used to be much longer, but I’ve weeded out the ones which didn’t do anything sensible.
Akismet
If only I got one non-spam comment for every spam comment Akismet automatically removed…
aLinks
aLinks automatically inserts a link when it detects a predefined [...]

The BlogCatalog Mass Buzz Experiment

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Blog communities have sprung up all over the Internet, it seems. If you look at my sidebar, you’ll see I have three widgets installed: BumpZee, MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog.
Mona Weathers over at iwebis is hosting a “Mass Buzz Experiment” to grow the community at BlogCatalog. Read about the experiment here.
The great thing about these kinds [...]

Removing the “NoFollow” tag

Monday, May 7th, 2007

I was going to do a long post explaining why you should remove the “NoFollow” tag from your blog, but other people have already done the job much better than I could.
I like Fred W. Black’s explanation the best, and he tells you how to do it as well.

Blog Overhauled For The Second Time In A Month Shock!

Friday, April 27th, 2007

I blogged a few weeks ago about changing the theme of my blog to something simpler. Since then, I stumbled across Chris Pearson’s Cutline theme, and that’s what I’m now using.
Cutline has a couple of nifty features, and it claims to be search-engine friendly.
Cutline does nifty pullquotes like this
However, I did a few [...]

New look

Friday, April 13th, 2007

I installed Internet Explorer 7 on my PC and, just in passing, had a look at this blog. It looked dreadful. It probably has done for some time –

It looked dreadful.

I generally only use IE when a site won’t work properly in Firefox, because some idiot programmer assumes that everyone uses Microsoft’s browser. (Unlike me, [...]

No-www or yes-www?

Friday, April 6th, 2007

I like bookmarks.I have tons of them. I use a web-based service called FoxMarks to keep my laptop and my desktop bookmarks synchronised. However…
Quite often I find that it’s quicker to type in a domain name rather than hunting for the bookmark. If it’s a site I go to regularly, like James Brausch’s blog, it’s [...]
