Well it’s April Fools Day today. The day the Internet rolls into a big ball of craziness and throws itself at people’s faces.
Instead of telling you I’m going to stop blogging or create an elaborate hoax, I’m going to do a roundup of the most popular posts of March 2007.
If you’ve missed any of [...]
I joined Twitter the other day. It’s going to be huge.
Everyone has their own take on what Twitter is exactly but essentially it is a combination of microblogging and instant messaging.
You’ve only got 140 characters to get your thoughts out so you have to be succinct and to the point. But that’s the beauty of it. [...]
Don’t get me wrong, I think MyBlogLog is great. I’ve met some cool people on there and without their service this blog wouldn’t have hit the ground running the way it has. But there are some things that frustrate the hell out of me.
The visual design needs a makeover.MyBlogLog’s looks betray its underlying usefullness. It seems to me that [...]
The Top Commentators plugin has now been installed.
I actually thought quite a bit about whether or not to install this plugin. It has helped a lot of people increase the amount of comments made on their blog but the quality hasn’t always followed suite.
The comments that people have left on this blog so far have all been of a high quality [...]
Sorry about the lack of updates guys but these Chickenpox have really done a number on me. I’m starting to feel a little better now so the posts should start flowing again shortly.

After waiting a week and getting no reply I thought I’d missed my chance to get into the Spotplex beta, but my invitation arrived today, and I’ve had a chance to play with it a bit and I have a few observations.
For those of you who haven’t heard about it, Spotplex is a service that provides [...]
I should qualify that statement. Successful blogging is harder than you think.
And not as fun either.
I could probably write over 50 posts a day if I had to, but the content would be hollow and unimaginative, and no one would want to read it. On the other hand I might be able to write one well [...]
You may have noticed a few subtle additions to the blog. I’ve been meaning to get around to doing a big update but things keep coming up so I’m just going to do it in increments.
This is what I’ve added so far:
Subscribe via email - For those of you who don’t use rss you can now get [...]
Stop checking your stats!
I’ll admit it, I check my stats way too often. But I’m betting you do too.
The success of a blog these days seems to be defined through the amount of traffic it receives so it’s natural to be anxious about how many visitors you’re getting. The problem is this time could be better spent actually [...]
While I was away I was hit by The Tech Link Train, a link building exercise started by Jimi of JMH Techtronics and turned into a monster by the web devil himself in his post about evil blog promotion ideas.
Joel or Jesse, I haven’t figured it out yet, over at Lytebyte tagged me [...]
