Is Money the Root of All Evil? (Writing with Purpose)
January 18, 2008
I have been writing in this blog for just about a year, and I have been through a number of changes:
- The blog was once on a subdomain of my company, and now has its own domain.
- I started at infrequent posts, then went to 2-3 posts a week, and now am at 5-6 posts per week.
- The topics have changed as my voice has developed and my experience has grown.

Gas Stations Don’t Need Blogs
January 16, 2008
I read a post today on how a corner gas station owner could benefit from having a blog.
Challenge: Can You Stump Business and Blogging?
I know you’re going to read it and then tell me it was not about gas stations needing blogs, but about the benefits of blogging for any and every business. My argument is that this post is absurd and misleading in its self-serving logic.

To combat this problem, and to help the non-tech people just looking for advice on marketing their business and their website, I offer this:

The Joy of StumbleUpon
January 10, 2008
I have been getting a lot of traffic in the past few weeks from StumbleUpon. I was discussing this with a colleague of mine, and he asked me how I attract traffic from StumbleUpon. The answer is: I don’t. I do my best to write good content, and the links will follow.

If you’d like to learn more about what I mean by that, check out the recently released podcast I did on using content and code to market your website. You can also read the discussion that came out of it.
‘Do I Need a Blog?’ - Five Questions to Ask Yourself
March 31, 2007
There are many pros and cons for having a blog on your site. I have seen too many developers insist that a blog/article database/forum is the only way to increase your traffic/boost your page rank/bring in new customers. This is completely untrue, as there is always more than one way to achieve your goals. There are, however, questions on both the user experience and the marketing strategy sides that you should be asking yourself before you go ahead and add that blog to your site.
