Blogging As A Biz-nass

Why do people write blogs? Some for fun, some to keep a record of a hobby, project, family event(s). Many blogs have advertising content, and others are set up to advertise an established business. In the current economic climate I think many people are brainstorming money making ideas, and I am no exception.

Awhile back, I came across a website called Daily Blog Tips that's loaded with excellent advice for maximizing one's internet presence. Since I began my blog purely for fun, many of these concepts were totally new to me...things like domain name selection, keyword optimization, etc.. When I signed up for the website's newsletter, I got to read this very informative and well written eBook that really laid things out in simple terms. As a blogger with very little internet or marketing knowledge, the eBook was an easy read and really got my wheels turning. So if you're considering "getting serious" with your little corner of the web, check out the Daily Blog Tips website. You'll be glad you did! :)

Trouble on the web...I lost most of my links! (But not my skinks...this one got hung up here only briefly.) Hey Bentley! Have you seen my links?
Gizmo? Well keep watching out for them, ok?
I bet it was the gnome! (Isn't it always the gnome?)
I was trying to update my links and re-arrange them, but I didn't want to copy and paste them all. So I thought I'd be clever and take a "screen shot" image of my links page with all set on "edit" so I could see the URLs...but I only got the first few lines on the image! (Of course I'd deleted the whole damn page element before I realized it!) *Sigh* So if your link has disappeared, don't panic! Stay where you are! I'll find you! :)
