How would you describe what SXSW is?! Lately I’ve been reading SXSW being described as, Spring Break for Nerds, Spring Break for Geeks, Spring Break for techies, movie and music lovers. Overall, SXSW is being described as a huge Spring Break minus the beach, and the bathing suits, but with tons of networking opportunity and […]
This blogging tip is more of a personal experience that I’m not ashamed to share, because in the life of blogging, you live and you learn. The other day I attended an event that I received a private invite for and I RSVPed before the deadline. My first assumption was that as long as I […]
Every year my New Year’s Resolutions change depending on what is going on in my life, whether is relationships, family, healthier body or a better job, I think I’ve set every most popular New Year’s Resolutions out there. I have come to the realization that most of the resolutions on my previous lists rarely make it past the first 3 months.
This year you should ask yourself this very important question: Are You an Asset or a Liability?
First let’s look at what each means…
According to Webster’s Dictionary, an Asset is a valuable possession or quality, and a Liability is something owed to another: debt; a handicap: disadvantage.
Not so long ago, I attended a MediaBistro Book Club, and I am glad I did. I got to hear about some really great books in shelves today. Amongst these great books was a fabulous book that I carry with me very often and use it for reference and guidance, The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Social Media Marketing, by Jennifer Abernethy.
For the last 2 years I have been contemplating on making the switch to Wordpress (WP). Let me explain.
When I first started KMP Blog it has always been through Blogspot aka Blogger.com. I have always used Blogspot because it is easy to use and less CSS (complicated computer science stuff)….
This troubles me somewhat, bloggers that blog sooo much, have great content, somewhat good traffic, but their Alexa rank is in the millions. Ouch! I don’t get it! Why is it that if they write so much content and “supposedly” get all the traffic they say to be getting their, it would show on their Alexa Rank, and it’ll be AT LEAST lower than 500,000.
We all do it “steal other people’s blog ideas and/or blog info,” some of us call it research, plagiarism, borrowing, etc… There’s a saying that says “imitation is the sincerest form of flattery”- Charles Caleb Colton, I kind of agree with this saying, here are my reasons why:
Over the weekend I attended this really great blog conference here in NYC, WordCamp. It was my first time attending but definitively and hopefully not my last. I went through the Blogger track and even if you have absolutely no idea what I’m talking about, you should check out the following two posts: WCNY Part 1 & WCNY Part 2.
|Cont…WCNY Part 2 of 2|
Plugins…The plugins section was comprised of a couple of developers and their products…Beau Lebens talked about Intense Debate, a great plugin to better your comments section. Jonathan Davis talked about a Shopp plugin, great if you sell a product on your site. Rafael Mudge talked about a great spell checking and grammar plugin for your site called After The Deadline.
This post will cover what I’ve learned at WordCamp NYC while on the Blogger Track. Probably the best track to be if you are a Blogger…I have sooo much to share, but I’ll try to keep it simple so you don’t get bored from all the text… So let’s go..
We are looking for writers! Whether you write for a blog, personal site, articles, newspapers or magazines, we want you!

Whether your domain name is: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.com or LOL.com choosing a domain name can be as difficult as choosing a blog hosting site. You might say, why is domain name choosing difficult, just go with what your blog is about. True! But like many people sometimes we have problems remember web addresses, and the simpler it is the better…
First I would like to thank Arie for this opportunity to talk about such an important subject to me, keeping readers loyal. For me this is the essence of the entire business of blogging. My goal is and has always been about building a regular community around my blog with readers and writers that care. From my very first blog a few years ago to the excellent collaboration on Blogussion I have found that keeping readers is far better than having to find new readers everyday. To keep readers I focus on 3 things, sincerity, content, and communication.
Wordpress and Blogger are the two most popular blogging sites out there. I use Blogger. I have tried Wordpress, wasn’t feeling it, I guess I didn’t like Wordpress formatting. At the time when I tried Wordpress I had already been using Blogger for about a year, then something happened and I figured I’d give Wordpress a try, but it didn’t work out for me, so I went back to Blogger and purchased a new domain.
A month or two ago, a wonderful young lady contacted me via email and told me she wanted some insight on starting her own blog and wanted to know how to go about it. I was shocked, I am NO professional blogger, and I look up to the real professional Bloggers out there, like ProBlogger, The Huffington Post, Mashable, TechCrunch, LifeHacker, Gizmodo, Engadget, Joystiq, even TMZ to name a few; these people are amazing!! And someday I’ll be just as amazing as them, but as of right now I am just a young apprentice. :-)
