Is Blogging Going Away?
I have been reading quite a bit lately about whether blogging is no longer growing and maybe even growing away. This seems to all have been started by Dilbert creator Scott Adams saying that he was disappointed with his blog’s performance and would be writing less. He seems to be upset that many people are […]
How Can I Say Sorry?
On my post from yesterday How Can I Say NO? I had a bad link to the article that I was writing about. Sorry about that, it’s fixed now. After writing that post I kept seeing things all day that related to it. Mostly people asking for work done for free, most with the “opportunity” […]
How Can I Say NO?
As someone who has only been in business for myself a short time, about a year and a half. I find myself saying yes to requests that I probably should have said no to. As time goes and my business grows on I do find myself “firing” problem customers and not taking every request for […]
How Not To Treat People
I like to write about companies that treat people well that are seen as “good”. Companies like Starbucks and Zappos that seem to treat everyone well.

Free Photos For Your Site
Many times my customers are looking for good photos that they can use on their site and there are several good sources of pictures that they can buy. Recently I found a nice free collection of public domain photographs (government sources) on a wide variety of subjects posted on Flickr. It appears the the images […]
Getting People To Post To Your Blog
I have been writing this blog for about a year and a half now. One of the thing that almost every blogger hopes for when they start one is that they will inspire visitors to comment on their posts. I do get a few relevant comments on this blog, but I am always looking for […]
Friday Just For Fun Site – Google Book Search
Here’s something just for some fun on a Friday. (Not responsible if you get caught playing at work) With Google Book Search you can look for books just like a regular search, but if the book is out of copyright, or the publisher has given permission, you’ll be able to see a preview of the […]
What Can I Do With Free Google Tools?
One great thing about using Google products on your site is that they give you some wonderful free tools to manage your account. It’s pretty easy to log into your account and look at how many “clicks” that your site has received today or how many you have paid for. Unfortunately most site owners and […]
