Funniest Spam Comment Ever!
Battling spam is an unthankful task for any blogger. But this spam comment is too funny not to share! Comment: “certainly like your website but you need to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very bothersome to…
Read MoreKeeping Your Website Real
Recently, Chris, from Design4Real.net, and I ventured down to Posada Yum Kin Hotel in Tulum, Mexico to work on their next web update. It has been a little over a year since images and content throughout the website have been updated, so once again, it is time to refresh everything. Our trip went smoothly with…

Read MoreWisconsin’s Herb Kohl on Monopoly-Busting Google
This just in… Herb Kohl’s office released this press release yesterday. Below are excerpts from his Opening Statement Of U.S. Senator Herb Kohl For The Of Hearing, “The Power Of Google: Serving Consumers Or Threatening Competition?” “The basic premise of Google at its founding was that it would build an unbiased search engine — that…
Read MoreI Plus-one’d That Story, The New Verb
I’m predicting ‘plus one’ will become 2011’s new noun-to-verb crossover. A few years ago, it was ‘I googled it’. Today, it’s +1 –as a verb. Pretty soon you’ll be hearing, “I read that and ‘plus one’d’ it.” What is the new Google +1? It is sort of like the Facebook ‘Like’ button, but with a…
Read MoreThe World Media Awards: Why YOU Must Enroll
I was recently asked by Murray Newlands to support the World Media Awards coming up February 25, 2012 in San Francisco. I am often quite a skeptic and I try to look things over carefully (maybe it’s my german heritage upbringing and living in conservative Appleton, WI. And getting spam-scammed online recently).

Read MoreIf Facebook Existed… A Mashup
Family and friends send some of the best material for the Saturday Morning’s Post to me. My niece, Heidi, in an email, initially sent this one. That’s how social media works, right? People you know, talking about things you find interesting –and then sharing it. I also find it interesting how many ways great Internet…
Read MoreThe Perils of Working At Home
Hi Everybody! Just a short little TGIF Friday Freebie for you today. I love working at home -most of the time. This morning was one of those times when you can’t help, but appreciate it, take the time to smell the roses and all that jazz. (Even though I do have five blogs that need…
Read MorePart Four – How do I know I’m not ‘spamming’? I’m just trying to promote my blog
Hopefully last week’s post didn’t make you stay awake at night wondering if you, too, were a spammer. When you leave comments on someone else’s blog how do you know it’s not spam? You can rest easy if you are leaving thoughtful comments on blogs that match or at least have something to do with…
