Is It Time To Get Off Your Big Fat Blog?
Blogging It seems like just a few months ago I started writing for Blogging Tips. But maybe that’s because it’s true. With apologies to Lynrd Skynrd, I think Kevin might call me the breeze because I’m already blowing down the road, but in computer years, three months is a long time, right? Ah, but now, like Led Zeppelin, I’ve got to ramble on. But before we part I do have a few final thoughts I’d like to pass on that may help you with your blog ...

Blogging Testimonials and personal stories have long been reliable methods of helping spread the word about a business. People don’t necessarily want to hear what a business owner or salesperson has to say about a product or service. They’d rather hear real stories from real people sharing real experiences. At the same time, most people love to talk about themselves, their families, and what’s going on in their lives, so if they get a chance to do ...

Blogging, Writing Do you understand this sentence? The causative agent, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, proliferates within host macrophages where it modifies both its intracellular and local tissue environment, resulting in caseous granulomas with incomplete bacterial sterilization.* No? Well, how about this one? Ancillary cytologic tests including digital image analysis (DIA) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have been developed to improve the ...

Blogging, Podcasting When we think of blogging, most of us think of text and pictures. We talk in terms of reading and writing blog posts and articles. In addition, many of us upload pictures and photos to our blogs because we know it can add an element of interest, provide another hook to get visitors to read past the headline, and maybe even click a link embedded in the picture. However, since the use of written text and pictures focuses on the visual learner, you ...
Continue readingDoes Sex Matter When Blogging?
Blogging The idea that men and women communicate differently has gained momentum in recent years and it’s a common topic in the areas of relationship advice and couple therapy. This communication theory mainly revolves around the idea that men tend to value information, facts and just want to get to the point quickly, while women tend to want more discussion and support. Whether this idea is a proven scientific fact or not, most people I’ve come in ...

Blogging Those of us who follow the journalism side of the blogging world watched a big story unfold this week. A blogger discovered that Maureen Dowd, long-time columnist for the New York Times, had a paragraph in a recent column that matched a previously published blog post almost word-for-word and she did not credit the source. Ms. Dowd says that she had no idea this came from a published blog and if she did, she would have attributed it. But the ...

Blogging Blogs and babies have several things in common. Understanding these similarities can help prepare you to be a better blogger and be more successful in reaching your individual blogging goals. The first similarity between blogs and babies is the time factor. If you want to have a blog, you should be ready to make a commitment. Sure, it’s a lot easier to just abandon a blog than it is a baby, but it still makes sense to put some thought into ...

Social Media As a writer, I guess I should have seen it coming. In recent years, we’ve all been learning how to do a new version of The Limbo Rock as we try to fit our written communication into the latest portable gadgets. This led to the popularity of cell phone text messaging, which led to the creation of Twitter, who has now formally lowered the writing limbo stick to a mere 140 characters. Many people think this a wonderful new idea and appear to be ...

Blogging, Writing If I asked you to tell me about your day yesterday, what would you say? Did you efficiently and rapidly make it through your well-planned to-do list? Or did you have constant interruptions and distractions? Did you have a chore or project you really needed to do but chose to procrastinate? Or was yesterday the day you finally focused your energy and finished the job? Maybe you unexpectedly spent the day in the doctor’s office. Or maybe you ...

Blogging Everyone admires Michelangelo, the famous artist who lived during The Renaissance. He is considered a genius for his ability to sculpt marble stone into beautiful statues. One of his most famous creations is his sculpture of David and when someone asked him how he created such a masterpiece, he replied, “It is easy.
