I’m no doubt not the only person whose first impressions of the online service MyBlogLog have been based on the Recent Readers widget appearing on various blogs. Which led me to believe it was basically another community-building, social networking, link-swapping kind of thing. Well, it does seem that is right, but there is more to […]
I’ve spent some time today reading various comments about the new WordPress upgrade to Version 2.10.
This blog, as part of the b5media network, runs on the WordPress platform so upgrading for this blog is not something I’m personally responsible for. However, I have a couple of other blogs which also use WordPress and some people I’m coaching are also on WordPress. So today I’ve […]
In conversations with a number of business owners who are thinking about blogging, I usually reach a point fairly quickly where, if the conversation is going to progress, I need to explain syndication or RSS.
Here’s what I’ve done to date.
I generally explain syndication first by referring to something people are familiar with offline - syndicated […]
While people in the SEO or SEM business might understand that blogs can help attract search engine generated online traffic, my experience - admittedly with the small business sector, things may be different at the big end of town - is that many business owners don’t get the connection between blogs and SEO and are missing […]
Any business owner contemplating a current or prospective investment in blogging, which will probably be an investment more of time than money (although with opportunity cost, it’s all money), will sooner or later want to make some assessment of the return on investment (ROI).
That’s not an easy call. Charlene Li at Forrester has a post […]
With clients and others just getting into blogging, one of the things I recommend they do at a very early stage is to get themselves a feed reader or RSS reader and if the people are not tech savvy, or if they are not much interested in the technical information, I explain it is like having your […]
There are a number of feed readers available. For quite a while I used Bloglines, but recently I was disappointed that Bloglines was unable to recognise my identifying email address that had worked perfectly well a year or more ago. So I can’t access my Bloglines account now to know what feeds I had there.

This is a follow-up to my post a few days ago about goal setting and accommodating change, which was my contribution to a group posting theme day for the b5media network’s business channel.
Basically, it’s not too late to set some goals. And there are some resources available to help the process.
Setting goals on or about New Year’s Day […]
If you wonder sometimes about bloggers echoing one another’s opinions on an issue of the day and you would like a different take on whatever the issue is, it’s a good bet you will find something informatively non-echoing about it on Dave Taylor’s Intuitive Life Business Blog. The subject of the item I posted on yesterday, about […]
Via my Newsgator RSS aggregator, I noticed a Robert Scoble post about IBM and blogging on corporate sites.
Robert is picking up a post by Simon Phipps, commenting on changes he says IBM has been making to details on its website.
When I was studying and researching medieval and early modern European history, I had a very clear understanding of the qualitative […]
