SEO: What Are NoFollow and DoFollow Links?

February 22, 2010

Linking, whether you’re linking to another site or your site is being linked to, is an important part of SEO (search engine optimization).

What is the difference between blog categories and blog tags?

February 15, 2010

When I talk to beginning bloggers, I’m asked all sorts of questions. One I received this week was what is the difference between tags and categories? The obvious way to answer this is to define both, of course, but beyond that, I want to explain why you need both, how to name them, and how [...]

Blissdom ‘10 Highlights: Friends, Bloggers, and Harry Connick, Jr.

February 11, 2010

I’ve attended three blogging conferences since October, 2009. I’ve had every intention of blogging recaps of each. Unfortunately, I’m a thinker; I like to mull my experiences over before I share them with others. However, I think I’ve gone beyond the normal reflection stage and passed into the procrastination stage. In an effort to remedy [...]

Is the iPad just a Big Ol’ iPhone or Is There More to It?

January 28, 2010

Believe it or not, I’m not an early adopter. I’m pretty tight with my purse and I don’t buy the “next big thing” as soon as it hits the market. I’m interested, yes, but I like to see how things shake out before I buy. Invariably, the first edition of anything is just aching for [...]

Blogging & Taxes: What You Need to Know

December 28, 2009

Blogging in 2004 was significantly different from blogging in 2009. Over the past five years we’ve seen an explosion in how people use social media and how we make money from it. In 2004, it was hard to find a professional blogger; blogging was still very much a community-based hobby. These days, it’s unlikely to [...]
