Pros and Cons of Blog Networking Sites
There is no shortage of blog networking sites like, BlogCatalog, MyBlogLog, BumpZee, etc where you can mingle with other bloggers, look at their stuff and show off yours. Here’s what I’ve learned from investing time on them. Pro- They bring you some hits. I didn’t completely believe this until I tried it myself, but I [...]
Staying Focused
Most days I feel like I have been ‘busy’ during every waking moment. Meanwhile the list of what I’ve gotten done seems short compared to the effort. For the most part, I blame this on the world outside my desk. But, after reading Darren Rowse’s artcile about how dial-up made him more productive, it made [...]
