The blogosphere could be a lot prettier if bloggers just utilized the included options in their blog software, and in their themes. I’ve spoken about ugly listings and what to do to make them more pretty, now it’s time for images.
In my opinion, images are great for making longer blog post seem more attractive. You [...]
It’s about time we clean up the blogosphere, it doesn’t have to be this ugly, and not everyone needs to hire me or my likes to get a pretty blog. There’s a lot you can do yourself, and most of it is related to your content.
Take a look at your average listing of posts, usually [...]
I’m a bit under the weather still, so I’ll keep it short today, if I’m able. I never know when I start writing a post…
Among other things, I’m a blogger, doing freelance gigs obviously, since you can catch my madness in post form here, as well as on Devlounge and The Blog Herald, not counting [...]
I’m a sucker for one column blog designs. It’s not only because the sidebar is dead (albeit somewhat resurrected), and I won’t get a ton of crappy widgets force-fed to me.

Well, the widgets are one reason I think the sidebar is dead as a resource on a blog.
Don’t get me wrong [...]
I hate all these widgets that litter the blogosphere. Some have a purpose, like the ones from MyBlogLog, BlogRush, and Amazon’s widget ad. Others just baffle me - why would you want to have a Feedjit widget in the first place?
Do you have a bunch of widgets littering your sidebar? You need to ask yourself [...]
According to TechCrunch, there’s rumors that the Automattic founders will make a bunch of money from the investors in the company, in response to the turned down $200m buyout offer. Good for Matt & Co. of course, I won’t begrudge anyone making money out of good products such as WordPress.com and Akismet.
However, Automattic also controls [...]
If you want to get the most out of your site’s potential income, when it comes to ads, then you’ll have to get your hands dirty and sell them yourself. And by yourself I mean not relying on Adsense or any other sign-up ad program.
Selling your ads yourself is a good thing, if you’re up [...]
