Why Feedburner Doesn’t Love Us Anymore
Blogging I almost feel guilty about positioning this as a problem. With earthquakes devasting an entire nation, with the U.S. economy sending the world economic markets into the crapper, this one isn’t on a level to legitimately describe it as a nightmare. But it sure felt like one. Like so many other bloggers who are foolish enough to obsess over their Feedburner number, I woke up two days ago to a worst-case scenario from blogging hell: my ...

Blogging As we’re entering the new year, it’s possible you’re finding yourself in something of a blogging rut. Maybe your traffic growth has flattened some, your entries don’t feel as good as they once were or you just don’t seem to be making any progress.

WordPress Plugins From a marketing point of view, it’s important to cloak your links. Cloaking links is a little deceiving in some ways as the URL is hiding the true destination of the link.

The most obvious one being presentation. The link www.bloggingtips.com/go/websitename looks ...

WordPress Themes Last week I spoke about the problem I had with Theme Forest. Specifically, the theme I purchased wasn’t working correctly and neither the theme designer nor Envato support were answering my emails. Thankfully, the issue has now been resolved.
