Okay, this is totally off topic but that’s what the “Etc” category is for!
I have played with sparklers all my life - for 32 years. They’re so pretty and fun and innocent - NOT.
Last night, me and my 2 boys shot fireworks. It was sparkler time - I pulled one out and lit [...]

In a couple of my previous posts I talked about Michelle MacPhearson and Alejandro Reyes’ Social Media Seminar and the main topic of that was Twitter. I really got more into it after that and I’ve already seen benefits and made some nice connections.
So I wanted to talk about it a bit more.

If you’re into Social Media - and if you’re into Internet Marketing, you should be - [...]

In my post, “What Alejandro Reyes & Michelle MacPhearson Said” reference was made to using “Comment Relish” which is essentially an auto-responder that will send an email to users who comment on your blog who haven’t commented before.
While first thinking that might be a good idea, I found this post today and had second thoughts [...]

This looks to be a cool plugin for your Wordpress site that will optimize your site for search engines. I have just downloaded it but it definitely did the job in placing the meta name and meta keywords that I specified.

So darthguru on Twitter showed me the COOLEST tag cloud EVER yesterday.
