Way back when I announced the Blogwild book deal, I’d written an ezine called ‘How Blogging Changed My Life’ where I detailed the myriad ways this simple online format had shaped my life and business and allowed me to reach out to people all over the world to share what I know in a voice […]

I’m working on a new lead generation site to build my database and newsletters (similar in design as http://bloggingblunders.com/). I’ve settled on my primary colors – just not sure what combination to use. Please pop your favorite in the comments… thnx! Logo #1: Logo #2: Logo #3: Logo #4: Logo #5: Logo #6: Is the […]

I grew up right on the edge of the Ohio river with Kentucky and I always remember the year they declared the entire state’s education system unconstitutional. Not that the education system in Indiana is much better (there’s a reason my parents – public school teachers – sent us to a private school). The poverty, […]

Because I’m sure they don’t have the budget for this sort of thing: I’d also like to point out that this is not just a clone of my game. They didn’t see my game and set out to make a similar game. They actually stole my game. I’ll say it again: The Olympics stole my […]

Working on a little project and wanted one of those fancy effects where when someone fills out an email submission form, the text changes from ‘Submit’ to something like ‘Please wait…’ or ‘Sending…’. A few seconds of Googling and voila: <form name=”form_name” action=”http://www.codeave.com/html/get.asp”><input type=”submit” name=”button_name” value=’Submit’ onClick=’form_name.button_name.value=”Please Wait…“;return true’></form> I annotated the colors of the […]

Going out for food or ording in takes at least 20-60 minutes more than walking up to the buffet and eating. If you do meetings over […]

A Blogwild reader writes: Maybe this is in the book, but I can’t find it. I’ve also searched typepad. How do you change the author picture? I’m guessing the confusion might be from the way the profile pic is for your entire TypePad account, not just one blog. You might be looking in the wrong […]

There is nothing that gives me panic attacks and drive heaves like almost missing the renewal for a domain name. You don’t even want to know how close I’ve come to losing BIG BIG BIG domains that are a part of my online business. Someone at CNN is really in the doghouse now. (via)

Brian points to Kevin’s post about having one thousand fans willing to pay you: “A creator, such as an artist, musician, photographer, craftsperson, performer, animator, designer, videomaker, or author – in other words, anyone producing works of art – needs to acquire only 1,000 True Fans to make a living. A True Fan is defined […]

Finally – I figured out how to cycle through windows of an open application. Use the Command key plus the >> ` << – is that called a back single quote? I already knew about Command + Tab to cycle through apps – just needed to know how to go between multiple windows of the […]
