Is Money the Root of All Evil? (Writing with Purpose)
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 [...]

18. January 2008
I have been having a lot of problems commenting on other blogs lately, which is making it a little hard to participate on some of my favorite sites. Today, the problem occurred to me when I couldn’t submit something in my own WordPress admin. There seems to be some problem between Firefox and the WordPress [...]

14. January 2008
I wanted a better way to showcase the really great stuff that I come across by other blog authors. I had been using my shared items feed from Google Reader, but I’m not the biggest fan of Google Reader and the options for display were very limited. (I’ve been trying Google Reader for nearly a [...]

10. January 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. It’s not about writing [...]

26. November 2007
I really think there’s not enough said about what feeds can do, and what they can do for your business. During the remodel of this site, and the building of two others that I am working on, I have been doing a lot of thinking about feeds and their uses. And now, I’d like to [...]

Today’s post is a montage dedicated to SPAM: what it is, why it’s bad, how to prevent it, how to not send it, and what happens when people just can’t take it anymore. Enjoy!

6. November 2007
I owe a lot to Amazon.com; back in the mid-90s, when I had just entered college in the middle of nowhere, Amazon fueled my entrepreneurial spirit by providing me with all the content I needed to learn my craft. (These were the days before the entire documentation for languages like PHP and CSS could be [...]

1. November 2007
As Craigslist does not provide information on page views or clicks, I have devised a few methods to determine how many clicks come from a particular ad. Some of these require programming knowledge and some do not, but all are good for tracking your campaigns.

31. October 2007
As I was reading the post Ten Questions with Compete on Guy Kawasaki’s blog, I was reminded of a recent conversation I had on StartupNation with a designer named Paula about what kind of site information is proprietary, and if website traffic data should be considered proprietary information. To get to the point, Compete collects information [...]
