5 More Way to Share Videos on Twitter
Social Media Back in June I covered 5 easy ways to share videos on Twitter. As you know, new Twitter tools are popping up on a daily basis so, there will always be new ways of doing the same things – especially on Twitter. Since Twitter has yet to implement video embedding, users still have to use outside tools to do just that. So, here we are with 5 more ways to share videos on Twitter. Tvider Here you can share not just videos but also pictures and ...
Continue readingMy Incredimail Addiction
Blogging Several writers here at Blogging Tips have covered their addictions with WordPress (I’m one), Google Chrome and various other applications sharing all the bells and whistles available for these fun and useful products. Today, I’d like to cover Incredimail. I discovered it many years ago. The download is free, but it has a small ad banner at the bottom of the emails you send out. I don’t mind this, but less than a week into my ...

Social Networking Fishbowl is a trial application built using Facebook’s public API and developed by uxlabs@Microsoft. “It’s a ‘lab showcase application’ which means that it’s available for download by technology enthusiasts and Facebook power users but it’s not a ‘real’ supported product.” If you’re an avid Facebook user like me I’m sure after reading this, you’ll be ready to give ...

Blogging Edgy, huh. Two weeks ago I posted a blog here with the word flagellation in the title, and it seemed to work pretty well. At least if Google analytics is to be believed. And now you’re back, wondering what dark treats we have in store this week. Our theme today: cut corners with your blog and you will be punished. For me, the Mistress of Mistakes is my wife. For the first few months of my blogging experience I tended to hit the PUBLISH button ...
Continue readingMy Top Five Chrome Extensions
Software & Programs As Charnita covered a few days ago, Google Chrome (for Windows) has extension support and the floodgates have opened to new, interesting ways to extend the functionality of Google’s browser. As a long-time Chrome user, this has been a very exciting time for me and I, as well as many others, have gone a bit crazy installing new extensions. Part of this is the excitement and part of this is because it is so easy to do, not even requiring a ...

WordPress Themes I recently confessed to being a theme-a-holic, and I’m not the only one. For theme-a-holics, it’s not simply the lure of shiny new web stuff that makes us change themes regularly. It’s also the never-ending quest for the perfect theme. But what exactly makes the perfect theme? Here are my WordPress theme must-haves. Easy To Use Ease of use is at the top of my list and over the years I have seen WordPress themes improve in this ...
Continue reading75 Free WordPress 3 Column Themes
WordPress Themes When I previewed the personal theme a month or so ago a few members asked if it was possible to add a third column. I usually use WordPress themes with one sidebar however I know that quite a large percentage of WordPress bloggers prefer to have two sidebars as it allows them to put more information and advertisements around their content. Therefore I decided to list some of the best 3 column WordPress themes which are available on the web for ...
Continue readingIs Your Newsletter Compelling Enough?
Writing How many newsletters do you sign up for in a month? How many do you unsubscribe from in the same month because the content just isn’t good? I’ve read hundreds of articles about sending out newsletters and the main advice in these articles is that the material must be compelling. It’s often the writer’s of these articles that have the least compelling material in their newsletter. Go figure. In my opinion, a newsletter is ...
Continue readingThe Christmas Controversy as Your Blogging Platform
Blogging Thinking of blogging about the Christmas season? With the big day just over a week away, it’s an extremely prominent topic in more ways than one. From religion to retail (in some cases these are one and the same), Christmas takes over a good month of our year, dominating every corner of our culture. But we’re America.
