Web Publishing

Make Yourself a Content Curator Too many bloggers use content the wrong way. I see so many blogs where the blogger is regurgitating content over and over in one way or another. It’s not working. They may make some money by pulling in readers but most people won’t be that interested in reading something rehashed [...]

The invisible web is what you can’t find using the usual search engines or web directories. The search engines have adapted so they can find some of the invisible web. Pages not created with standard HTML, sites created with other software or scripts didn’t always show up in searches. So what’s still unavailable? Databases which [...]

These are things that REALLY bug me about blogs I go to read for the first (and likely only) time. The irony is, these are polished and professional looking blogs by people who want to give me advice about how to blog. Maybe they should rethink that! Video posts – I don’t want to wait [...]

For the A – Z Blogging Challenge… N is for New I’m setting myself up on a new (to me) profile network. I guess that is what it could be called. I’ve seen a couple of other networks/ sites like this. You set up a profile with all your social links, your blogs, something about [...]
