The Sony DSC-G3 isn't the first camera with wi-fi built in, but it's the first that also has a web browser, so while you're shooting 10.1 MP photos of hot-air balloons you can go online and look at photos of hot-air balloons that are way better. A minimalist metal block with a 4x optical zoom lens, image stabilization, and 4GB of built-in storage, it can upload pictures and video directly to YouTube, Shutterfly, Photobucket, or Picasa.  Eat i...

You may have noticed a few changes happening to my blog over the past couple of weeks.  It seems after my trip to Blogher I've been interested in doing some sprucing up of a few parts of my blog that were a little boring. The "Most Popular Posts" section never changed, so I replaced it with a new section called "Other Interesting Posts" that randomly displays posts from my blog.  I thought this would keep your reading selection as fresh as ...

As bloggers we all have certain other bloggers that we look up to or sometimes wish we could be like.  We wonder what it would be like to walk in their shoes.  To have the fame and the wealth that they have. And in our excitement to try to be like them, we often do just that. But what works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. The best way to stand out is to be yourself. Be original in everything you do.  Don't add somethi...

I left BlogHer 2009 in Chicago a little over a week ago with more than just a car-load of swag bags.  I left with some knowlege.  Knowlege I got from the best session at BlogHer... the "Gadgets of Blogging" session. The "Gadgets" session covered most of your basic gadgets you would use for blogging, whether at home or on the go, but it also briefly touched on some more advanced things, like specific products that may be better if you wanted ...

I'm really big into blogging.  I try to write at least one post every day.  And in order to successfully do that, I have to make sure I'm an expert at what I write, know the latest and greatest tools, and am up on the newest information. How do I do that? There are many ways.  Some secret so I can't tell you them (give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day... teach a man to fish and he'll steal all your fish).  But one way I stay current...

A recent article I did on writing timeless posts included the idea of removing the date from your posts.  My reasoning was that removing it helped give your content a sense of timelessness. Search engine visitors who happened upon a post from a year or two ago wouldn't get the impression that your blog and it's content was outdated if the date was removed. If you write timeless content, you don't want the first impressions of a visitor to ...

It even has a multi-vo...

As a writer or a blogger, your number one goal when writing articles is to make them as timeless as possible.  If your content isn't timeless you face the danger of all of your hard work quickly becoming irrelevant.  And once this happens, you start to lose readers, traffic, and credibility as a writer. Creating timeless posts is as simple as following a few guidelines when writing.  You don't have to completely change your writing style. ...

For those of you at the Blogher Advanced Social Media session last weekend in Chicago, you'll recall one of the panelists mention of using Yahoo Pipes to find out what others are saying about you and your brand. But with no explanation of how to do it, I realize it may have left some of you wishing they would have done a demo.  So for those of you who may not understand how to use Yahoo Pipes, here's a step-by-step guide to building your ego ...
