My very first meme comes from Pearl the shy and talented elf? who authors Interesting Observations at http://www.fresh-perspectives.net. Thanks for tagging me Pearl!
Why do I blog? Primarily because I can. . .
- Basically I mean, I live in a time and place where people worldwide, can if they would like read my thoughts and share their thoughts on life, family, faith and friends, or whatever we want to talk about.
- Hosting and designing websites on the side has to have some benefits, one of mine a free blog! Well no more than I already pay monthly for my Reseller agreement. . . 😉
- Building connections and helping people has to have some outlet, a blog contains a simple but effective way to do just that.
Blogging has essentially dissolved borders allowing me to instantaneously access the viewpoint of people all over the world, which would never have been possible with any other activity(Hey I really like this one, . . . but I won’t steal Pearl’s!)- Blogging has become an essential tool in the tool belt of small business, this blog is one small part of marketing my services and skills.
- I enjoy it, I basically write what I like, and when I like, it is exciting to find new ways to Post and improve my site. For example, I think I’ll add my top 5 things I’ve learned by blogging and reading other’s blogs that have been useful to this site.
- Shared Feeds by Google! Google Reader, lets me share interesting reading and other blogs easily. My Shared Feeds
- Customized Favicon!
- Helpful 404 pages. See my example of one I did at my Wife’s site. Notice the Site Map, Search and Helpful information.
- Postie! The best email posting tool via wordpress around. I use this a lot, and I especially recommend it if you host and design for clients, mine that use it love it!
- Adsense ~Google’s Adsense has helped me monetize my Find Wireless Internet Site and has pocketed enough to make me pretty happy about 3 months of use on a low volume site! < 200 page views a month If you like it then please Sign Up through the link below . . . 😉
