What I Learned From 2008

Posted on Jan 23, 2009 in blog, blogging

I have to hand it to blogging friend and fellow SOBCon 2008 alumni Robert Hruzek of Middle Zone Musings.  His monthly What I Learned From… series morphed into a fantastic display of blogging talent from around the web in January of this year. Robert opened his blog to anyone interested in sharing a list of their posts from their blogs.  Calling it BLOGAPALOOZA! – What I Learned From 2008, this blogging extravaganza has featured some of the best writing talent you can find on the ‘net. You can find my post here – just posted today actually.  So...

FeedBurner-Google Migration Complete

Posted on Jan 22, 2009 in blog, blogging

This was a frustrating experience, but in the end worked out like it should.  I have to admit that the actual migration by FeedBurner to using my Google account went well, and the existing feeds redirected to the new FeedBurner/Google domain that handles them. The biggest issues for me were the longer-than-expected reader-count anomaly, and the not-so-exact steps involved to redirect the “MyBrand” URLs to the new feed domain. Finally, nearly a week after move the feeds over, the reader count is approaching where it used to be.  One or two days eh? HA! Also, it took a bit...

Moved FeedBurner Feeds

Posted on Jan 19, 2009 in blog, blogging

Well, I finally got around to moving my FeedBurner account to my Google account.  Not sure if I did something wrong, or if I just need to wait a few days.  It seems that I can’t see any items in my feed now, as I monitor it in Google Reader. Has anyone else done this and found the same issue? I know I’ve probably missed something somewhere.  I’ve got the “MyBrand” personal domain settings enabled, and updated the DNS CNAME records for my domain last night as directly by the MyBrand settings page on FeedBurner. So far, it’s no go, but I...

Like Jon Swanson, I’m not really big on memes, but since the 5-Things meme is a long standing blogging tradition, who am I to refuse?

Mobile again…

Posted on Oct 4, 2008 in blog, blogging, mobility

It’s been awhile, but I’m using my mobile kit again for blogging. This is made up primarily of my old T-Mobile MDA, ThinkOutside Bluetooth Keyboard and Mouse. We’re off to find adventure in the afternoon in front of us, be it large or small. I’ll have to take a picture of the entire kit later, but we’re heading out the door as I write this. Until later!

Take my post ideas. Please!

Posted on Oct 2, 2008 in blog, blogging

Sometimes I spend time just generating ideas for blog posts, and they make it into this list or that notebook (though you couldn’t tell by my current lack of posts . While I can’t claim this idea is original, I do indeed want to share this list – I’ll probably not use them in the near term and it may be inspiration to someone to write a great post that I’d love to read. So without further rambling, here is a list of 50 blog post ideas (kinda heavy on social media), for you to take and repurpose for your needs. Working your social media juju Training your...
