I receive quite a few requests from companies or bloggers wanting me to look at their site and give them my feedback. Would I be interested in their services? Do I like their blog? Why/why not? Admittedly, I’ve been putting these on the back-burner because I still have a backlog of emails to answer. Girl [...]
There are a lot of entries about “wrapping up” 2006, leading to “changes in 2007″. Most seem very sincere too. In an an example about planning, I said I wanted to improve my writing skills. One of the beautiful things about writing online: the ability to compare the past to the present.
I have a large [...]
New Years. This is when a lot of bloggers make resolutions on what they want to do differently for the next year. Most are improvement related and unfortunately most fail. Why? No strategy.

Driving along the same route you drive daily, seeing the scenery but not really paying attention, have you noticed something that you’ve never seen before? Then seeing that “new†thing that has always been there, you open your eyes and see little things you never noticed before? If you experienced this, did you then wonder [...]
One of the main things I write about on my blogs is how to blog. I talked about being aware of what you’re writing, write consistently but remember quality over quantity, be active in the conversation, etc. It’s been said a zillion times.
Let’s face it there are sites that follow “the rules” to the letter [...]
I said before that bloggers usually don’t have a plan when they decide to blog. Yes, they have a general idea of what they want to do but the details aren’t sorted out. If a person hasn’t blogged before it’s hard to understand the little things that can turn into huge situations if the blogger [...]
