Continue readingPreparing For an Extended Absence From Your Blog
Blogging Any day now, my wife will give birth to our first child. We’re doing our best to be prepared, even though we realize this is an event for which we can never fully prepare. I think we’ve gone through just about every “new parent check list” there is. Something none of these lists cover, though, is what to do with your blog while dealing with a new baby. Whether it’s a birth, a house guest, or just a vacation, there ...

Blogging Last week I discussed Photo Dropper, a powerful WordPress plugin that lets you search Creative Commons-licensed images on Flickr and embed them directly into your posts, complete with correct attribution.

Promote your blog In yesterday’s post, I talked about how much I was loving ArticleMarketer.com, the article submission site. I’ve always been an avid article marketer, but never signed up with an article submission service because I was always pleased with the results I garnered by submitting manually.
