Today, with your help, I broke the 1,500 daily RSS readers barrier for the first time. Thank you! For those of you unsure what RSS is, here’s a short video: What is RSS?
I think it’s important to celebrate those little milestones that keep us going, and I’m sure that without your interaction and excellent comments I wouldn’t update my blog on such a regular basis.
Having started my blog last October, it won’t be long before the one year anniversary. To celebrate, I’m running a graphic design / marketing / branding / SEO / blogging prize giveaway, with the aim of thanking each and every one of you for your valued contributions, subscriptions and site visits.
I recently contacted a few niche experts, asking if they could get involved and offer a prize. The result so far has been fantastic! You really don’t want to miss out on this one, and thank you so much to everyone giving their valuable time to help.
I use WordPress to power my website. One of the benefits is the number of plugins available. They’re simple to install and can improve your blog’s user-friendliness and functionality.
When I first started The Face Behind The Blog Collection, I wasn’t sure if anyone would join in.
Back in May I posted a quick Face Behind The Blog update, giving a little extra interest in the meme. Since then, however, I thought that the idea had slowed and the momentum was gone. That was until Thomas of Technical Blogger sent me a message asking if I was going to update the original list.
I’ve made quite a few mistakes since I started authoring a blog. By giving you a look at my errors hopefully you can avoid doing the same. Here are my top 7 blog mistakes.
If you’re like me, you’ll be passionate about the subject you write about, caring less about any monetary gain and more about a genuine interest in the topic.
You’ll also want to cover the costs of your web hosting, and might place a few relevant ads across your site / blog (you can see how I do this in my right sidebar, under the ‘featured sites’ heading).
Every now and again I like to ask you, my reader, what you think about my blog. You’re taking the time out of your day to visit, read and interact through the article comments, and it’s important for me to ask for your feedback.
It’s the little things that make all the difference when you’re dealing with customers. If you’re launching a WordPress blog for a client I’d highly recommend making this small, yet important, inclusion. Here I show you how.
Starting your own blog can have many consequences on your train of thought. For instance, there isn’t a day that goes by where I haven’t wondered if something will make a good blog post. There’s a whole psychology around publishing a blog, and here I highlight just a few of the thoughts that I’m prompted into thinking.
Comments are the life-blood of any blog community, and it’s with delight that I can give a special mention to the person who left the 3,000th comment here on my website.
