If the only place you can work on your blog is sitting in front of your laptop at a location with wifi, you are missing out. Today, WordPress for Blackberry left the beta phase and entered full availability. iPhone addict? Check out WordPress for iPhone (wordpress for iphone)! I’m using the Blackerry app…and just might be in love. Super quick to install, and set...
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, this weeks post topics are all courtesy of my twitter followers and friends. Today’s question/idea came from @hagre, who asked me to share a how-to on something I do well. In the last few months, I have shared tutorials on many things, blog management calendars, complete blog designs, improving your social media, how to be a better writer. But what...
I often have topics I think I should cover, but sometimes I like to relinquish control and give it to my readers instead. So, last week, I asked my friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter to share some topics they would like to see me cover on my site. I got some incredible ideas, and this first post is courtesy of @healthOC! She asked...
Unfortunately, even after listing 10 great topics that any blogger can use last week, I still didn’t feel motivated today (what? I’m not perfect!). So, I decided to ask for some help from my friends and posted the above status update to facebook and twitter. Thank goodness for great friends, because in just 10 minutes I had the following great ideas! And now, I have...
Blogs. Most businesses and individuals have them, and yet very few of them spend the money or time to get the design customized just for them.

Start writing down as many...
Yesterday, my new site design went live. *cue excited dancing music and me jumping up and down like a crazy woman!!* If you follow me on twitter, you probably saw my tweets about trying to redesign my site. I was frustrated because I was having trouble pulling myself out of my own head to work on my site. When I design a clients site, I don’t...
On Thursday, I asked you to suggest new blogs for me to read in 2010. Of course, adding new always makes me think of cleaning old. Which led me to thinking about cleaning out old posts from my rss reader (which I hadn’t done in months!) Before I started my business, when I had actual time at the end of the a month, I would...
