  • Backing up Data and SyncToy

    August 10th, 2006 |

    I have this Maxtor External Shared Storage External Hard Drive thanks to Nick Finck for telling me about it. I’ve been through hard drive deaths and crashes where it meant rebuilding the computer. I thought I was prepared the last time when I had dual drives, but Murphy’s Law found a loophole. We couldn’t boot [...]

  • Book Review: The Corporate Blogging Book

    August 9th, 2006 |

    Disclaimer: I did research for Debbie Weil for this book. Yes, there’s a flood of books on business blogging hitting the market, but each one is different. Debbie Weil’s The Corporate Blogging Book is written for the corporate-minded person who isn’t sure about the blog thing especially in a business setting. The book tells it like it [...]

  • Privacy Protection Statements

    August 9th, 2006 | Tags: newsletters, policies, privacy

    Christopher Knight of Ezine Tips looks at email newsletter privacy protection statements and identifies the good ones and the bad ones. I like this quote: Whatever you are FOR; Strengthens YOU. Whatever you are AGAINST; Weakens YOU. I think the best suggestion I’ve heard comes from Bryan and Jeffrey Eisenberg when they discussed privacy policies. Simply put, “We value your [...]

  • More Mispronunciations

    August 8th, 2006 |

    Re: Mispronunciations that make you sound stupid. I have to rely on my knowledge of English words and derivatives when pronouncing a word for the first time or one that rarely comes up that I never remember how it’s pronounced. Some of these words do indeed make a person sound obtuse when they’re mispronounced, but [...]

  • Tools for High Converting Subscription Pages

    August 7th, 2006 |

    When I find my way to a Web site, I may have gotten there through a search engine or through a link from a colleague or Web site. After I’ve scanned the content and fiddled around in the pages, the site may impress me if the information proves valuable. What do I do then? The possibilities: [...]

  • T-Mobile Customer Service

    August 7th, 2006 |

    Here’s a past post about customer service and loyalty prompted by a loyal T-Mobile customer’s entry. My daughter dropped her Sidekick II in the sink… full of water. So poor girl was without a phone for months. I asked T-Mobile how we could have it fixed as we couldn’t get a replacement without paying regular price. [...]

  • Remember the Content!

    August 4th, 2006 |

    I couldn’t resist the headline as my son just returned from a mini-vacation in San Antonio with Grandma and Grandpa (You know, “Remember the Alamo!”?). Back on topic. Nick of Blue Flavor and Digital Web Magazine wrote about content, which seems to have gone from King to court jester. I was supposed to be working [...]

    Hearty congrats to Debbie Weil on today’s official release of her book, The Corporate Blogging Book: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know to Get It Right (You can check out a free chapter here). I’m honored to have played a small part of her special project as I helped her with research. Debbie provides her 5 [...]

  • Bad Feed! Bad! Bad!

    August 3rd, 2006 |

    With a site redesign comes a lot of URL changes. I do what I can to avoid link rot, but it couldn’t be helped with this redesign. The feed URL also got changed and the redirect had a typo. Mucho thanks to Eric for bringing this serious oversight to my attention. So those of you [...]
