Just a quick note to thank you for owning at least one set of the 25,000 pairs of eyeballs that have taken a look at Brett’s Blog since its inception on January 19 of this year. Blogging has most definitely been way more fun, entertaining and educational than I thought it would be, so here’s [...]
You guessed it: I’m selling out. OK, maybe that’s a little over the top. But I am planning on moving over to WordPress.org in the next month or two so I can start monetizing my efforts here (you can’t do it on WordPress.com). After all, one of the reasons I started this blog was to [...]
I stumbled upon this great post at Decker Marketing. Sam moderated a Web 2.0 panel recently and was kind enough to pass along his notes. Every one of them deserves your attention, but here are the quotes that really stick out to me: 25% of Google search results is user generated content. If googling your [...]
Bloggers, let’s face it: blogging can be addictive. But since most of us aren’t full-time bloggers, it’s hard to ignore it while we’re at the office for 8-10 hours a day.

And [...]
It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the widgets (the stuff in a blog’s sidebar) you can add to your blog. And they all have a purpose and can be useful. But there are five that I believe are fundamental to making a blog inform new visitors of what you’re all about when they find [...]
Tag clouds are pretty cool. And they’re pretty telling about whatever it is they’re describing. A tag cloud basically takes all the tags (or categories) you write about and then represents the number of posts under that tag by the size of the font. Looking at my tag cloud, it’s clearly about marketing, followed by [...]
