Want to Upgrade to Wordpress 2.8? You Might Want to Wait

This item was filed under [ Blogging ]

If, like me, you run one or more Wordpress blogs you want to hold off a bit before upgrading to version 2.8 (if you haven’t already).
I upgraded some of mine only to find the same repeated problem: the visual editor wouldn’t work correctly. The buttons disappeared, the text was whited out, and you couldn’t work [...]

What Writing Blogs are Your Must-Reads?

This item was filed under [ General ]

I’ve realized that I really don’t read many other blogs regularly–almost none in fact. It’s usually just a time issue. I subscribe to plenty. I love plenty. I just can’t get to everything I want to read in any given day.
When I do have time to sit down and do some reading (of writing blogs), [...]

I’d like to share some thoughts on the immediacy issue today as it might apply to [...]

In response to one of my guest posts on my blog tour last week, (pretty sure that’s where it was) someone mentioned wanting to set up a professional website to move their service listings off of their blog.

The Quick Flip Roster

This item was filed under [ Making Money ]

I mentioned recently that I would be quick-flipping several websites to show you how to do that as an additional income stream when client work is slow (or perhaps just because you enjoy it).
I also previously mentioned that I wasn’t going to post the domains up front, but I changed my mind. You can find [...]

Freelance Writing Jobs – December 22, 2008

This item was filed under [ Job Listings ]

Just a heads-up that I won’t be posting new jobs Wednesday – Friday this week, due to the Christmas holiday. I’m taking some time off, and these posts need to feature current jobs and not those outdated, so I can’t post them ahead of time. Normal articles / posts will still go up Monday – [...]

This item was filed under [ General ]

It’s almost inevitable – if you build a large content site or blog, at one time or another you’ll likely feel that there’s nothing left to talk about. Fortunately, unless you’ve chosen an incredibly limited niche, that’s not the case. There are always other topics to write about in your niche, or other angles to [...]
