I’m looking for interaction

August 5, 2010 By MindanaoBob 8 Comments
If you love blogging, interact with those who love you!

I enjoy interaction. I like to be engaged. These are two of the main things I am looking for when I read blogs in the Internet. There are millions of blogs on the Internet, literally.  A large number of those, though, are sort of on autopilot - posts show up, but beyond that, there really is nothing much more. To me, a blog should be interactive.  You post an article.  If you have a big enough reader base, some of your readers will respond by posting a comment with their thoughts and opinions on the subject that you wrote about.  Should that be the end of things?  In my opinion, no, it should not.  As a blogger, you really should … [Read more...]

A few days ago, I was browsing the Web a bit, and I decided to go an visit a website of a fellow that I know.  His website, frankly, is not very nice.  It’s poorly laid out.  Many of the articles are not well written, or about subjects that tend to really bore me.  But, the person who owns the site is a friend, and I do visit his site, because from time to time I find something there that is worth looking at. This person who publishes this site is somebody who always seems to be short on money.  There have been times in the past when I have even sent meals to his house, because I knew that he had nothing to eat, and no money to buy food.  … [Read more...]

Multi-Author Blogging

December 3, 2009 By Bob Martin

In my last article, Leveraging your online popularity, I talked about getting others to write content for your site, and getting it for free.  I told how setting up something like that will help you lessen your own workload while also helping you earn more money from your online endeavors. This might sound too good to be true, but believe me, it is absolutely true, and I am going to show you how you can do it.  One of the first steps is that you really need to stop treating your online activities as a hobby, and treat it as a business.  When you start devoting the time to your online activities like you would do it were a business, that is … [Read more...]

Stop the treadmill! I think I want to get off!

April 14, 2008 By MindanaoBob 10 Comments

I'm having one of those days today.  You know the kind of day I am talking about - one of those days when you work hard for the entire day, and at the end of the day, you feel like you didn't do anything.  I don't like those days. I blame Wordpress. "Why Wordpress," you say? Well, I blame Wordpress because it has become like a treadmill that never stops.  First of all, you have a never ending parade of updates to the software.  As soon as you update to a new version and get all the kinks worked out, it seems like there is a new, critical security update that you have to do immediately!  If you don't update on time, it's like running around … [Read more...]

WordPress 2.5

April 2, 2008 By MindanaoBob 6 Comments

Last weekend, Wordpress 2.5 was released!  Have you upgraded your Wordpress site yet?  I have not done it 100% yet, but it is something that I am still working on with my many Wordpress sites. I am wondering, though, do you think that Wordpress is still the way to go for a website or blog?  I have been thinking about this for several months now.  I have a couple of reasons for the question: Wordpress is the most popular blogging client.  No doubt.  That, though, can have positive and negative sides.  First, since it is so popular, it is the default target for people with malicious intentions.  For example, if somebody wants to hack … [Read more...]
