I read emails, RSS feeds (don’t worry, that acronym is the most techie I’m getting in this post), and other people’s blogs trying to think of decent content to write about. Then, I thought, what the crap? Why does it have to be one-way communication? Because that’s what a blog is for? Says who?
Enter the sparkly new Q&A page. I am hoping we can start talking a little more - you and I. So, why don’t you ask me a question? I don’t know that I can answer everything asked. Nor do I know if everything asked will be appropriate. But, for the sake of risking those things for a little conversation, let’s talk.

While reading his article “How to Start a Startup,” I noticed a similar trend to the teachings of Guy Kawasaki and Joel Kurtzman [...]

So, to be honest, I have no idea how to start a blog network. But, I am going to try. I’ll be documenting the attempt here at my blog.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this and came to the conclusion a few months ago that starting a blog network is all [...]

After an almost unanimous uproar (if I can call it that) about thinking about putting Adsense back into my blog, I’ve thought of an alternative solution today, and I’d like your feedback on it.
I’ve read throughout the “blogosphere” the pros and cons to advertising on our blogs. Most people for it are so because [...]

Wow, and I thought I’d never see the day when a seemingly small site/business got more than MySpace did.
$2 billion! That’s the supposed number that the founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and his cohorts are holding out for. They already surpassed MySpace in just the dollar figure they have already been offered ($750M). [...]

I have been looking for a simple plugin for WordPress that just displays photos that I upload. I got tired of trying out things like Gallery2 integration and stuff like that. I just wanted a simple photo gallery. No extra text, no comments, nothing. Just a photo gallery.
So, I created it [...]
