I’ve been using Pmetrics from Performancing a couple of days now, and so far I really like it. I was planning to write a review in a week or so, but they have an offer out for the first 100 reviews to receive free premium service for a year, so I thought I’d better jump [...]

Performancing has just just re-launched their PMetrics site analytics package and it looks very promising. I am an over-analyst by nature, so I installed it immediately. I like the free version of Statcounter really well (though the thing with it only keeping the detail for the past 100 pageloads is getting pretty annoying), never [...]

I am most honored to have a guest post up today at Alister Cameron’s blog that is based on Stephen Covey’s well-known book, “7 Habits of Highly Effective People.” In the article, I take a look at how these principles can help bloggers to be more effective. Have you read the book? [...]

Smashing Magazine has become one of my favorite sites. Though I don’t always agree with their judgment (in particular on their new logo… it is so wrong), they do a really good job of rounding up large compilations of useful resources. In their latest post, 35 Designers x 5 Questions | Smashing Magazine [...]

I have posted in the past about how much I use the Performancing (now called ScribeFire) blogging extension for Firefox. The Performancing site has undergone some changes lately and one of the more exciting ones is the opportunity to be published on their main community blog and be paid for it, and even share in [...]

I’ve been trying to get around to all the blogs that have linked back here in the last couple of days, and I’ve discovered some new [...]

Eve of HomeBizBlogger added me to the D-list of those who have installed the “Do Follow” plugin. This is another opportunity to share the link-love. Obviously there are now a zillion people I could add to this list because of the great response that’s still pouring in from yesterday’s post, but I’ll just keep [...]

I decided I’d like to have something in my sidebar indicating to my future readers that I’ve turned off the nofollow in my comments, and I thought others might be interested as well. So, I’ve set up a page that has the little logo you see to the right in several different colors and some [...]

I’ve been considering trying out SiteMeter lately. I’m glad I didn’t. Turns out they have entered into an agreement with SpecificMedia to store tracking cookies on the computers of those visiting sites tracked by SiteMeter so they can sell your browsing history to their advertisers. They did this without informing their [...]

I’ve been tagged by Brian Gardner to write about the 5 reasons I blog. I have 4 different blogs that all have different purposes, so my reasons for blogging may be slightly different depending on whether I’m talking about my personal blog, monetized blogs or this “professional” blog. Here are the reasons I blog on [...]
