Regarding Elitism

April 4, 2006 - Comments

Why do people have an aversion to elitism? Has socialism been that bred into people that everyone must be equal, or at least everyone must be percieved as percieving people to be equal?
It’s the controversy of the moment and I’ve stoked the fire at ProBlogger where I make the point that blogging is about being [...]

Designing Intuitive, Attractive Blogs

March 1, 2006 - Comments

Blog Design is not something I claim to be an expert at, but as we continue this series, let’s take a step away from the code and look at the actual design process. Peter Flaschner of The Blog Studio specializes in design specifically for blogs. He’s a guy that understands how blogs work from [...]

Floating Images

February 23, 2006 - Comments

A question that I get often and frustrates many non-technical bloggers is how to wrap text around images. There are two different ways to do this. They both work, but the second example is seen as “proper” and standards-based.

    Twitter Pitch!

    <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
