How do you market your blog?
You’ll often hear the advice to look beyond your competitors for inspiration or to improve your product. It’s a pretty simple concept, if everyone in a given field only looks at what is ‘currently successful’ and follows the lead of others, then pretty soon everything looks the same and it takes real effort to innovate [...]
Ok, it’s been awhile since I’ve posted here… way too long - chained to my desk all week and letting World of Warcraft soak up all my free time really doesn’t do much for a blogging schedule.
In case you haven’t noticed… we’re in a recession / depression / hold onto your cash and lock your [...]
Ok, I haven’t blogged much lately, as you know, I started a new job about a month ago and that sucks up the majority of my time. Most of what remains is spent with my family and for some reason I even seem to be getting more sleep… but that’s not what’s stopping me blogging. [...]
You’ve probably noticed that I haven’t posted for about two weeks now… and to be honest, that change of pace will probably continue for a while yet.
I’ve taken on a new job - it’s consuming a lot of my time right now, leaving little time for blogging (let alone anything else), but professionally, it’s a [...]

So… given all that, I’m going [...]
I’m launching a new blog - one that I have been ‘getting ready’ for some time now, but I need your help to get the word out.
The blog is called Gamblz.com and it aims to connect online poker and casino players with social networking and blogging… it’s an area that the online gambling industry has [...]
Today’s episode of the Pessimists Guide to Blogging is about Challenges… those pesky little problems that we all have from time to time - I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, many people find it a challenge just to get out of bed in the morning (something I personally don’t have a problem with… [...]
If you’ve never seen any of the ‘in plain English’ videos from those awesome guys at CommonCraft, then you’re really missing out, they make some of the best videos I’ve seen for explaining social media concepts.
They’ve just released a new one about Social Media and Social Networking - as a blogger you probably understand these [...]
