Cruise through the last 2 weeks of the year
Blogging We’re now heading into the last 2 weeks of the year and if life wasn’t busy enough we still have our blogging to do. These last 2 weeks are a great time to reflect back and think about the things that have happened during the year. Not to mention it is a great way to come up with a few great blog posts in the process. You’ve seen the TV shows that highlight the top 100 moments of 2007 or the top songs from the last year. Well why not use ...

WordPress Plugins The plugins that automatically email a commenter or display a blurb at the top for first-time visitors suggesting they subscribe to your RSS feed might be hurting you.
