Q: Why is my sidebar swinging below my content? A: 9 times out of 10, it is the same reason: there is an unclosed division within an html/text widget. Hang in there with me, I intend to explain this in English, I promise. The Problem: Your browser thinks that your sidebar belongs with the main […]
Cool Themes for business sites
Just this month, I’ve discovered some great themes. These are just the ones that I’ve run across – there are countless others as well. These are FREE, and can be customized by following the instructions. Most are customizable right from your admin panels in the back end of your blog. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first one is […]
Day 19: Express an Opinion
Can you tell this is my favorite thing to do? I can’t resist! 🙂 Yesterday’s (today’s) post about day 15 – 17 is pretty much my opinion on blogging for other people, as opposed for yourself. I imagine that expressing your opinion would be difficult for more reserved people? Or perhaps for people concerned with […]
Day 15 – 17: blog buddies, buddy watching, buddy instruction
Sorry People – I thought I’d posted this a couple days ago!! Okay, so I`m sensing a theme among ProBlogger`s posts of late: social networking. Blogging is social; it is communication.

Day 14: Update a Key Page

Day 12 31DBBB: Editorial Calendar {printable}
After I read ProBlogger‘s Day 12 of 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, I immediately thought of creating an online editorial calendar – type tool that I could use. I like to be obsessive like that. If you are a pen & paper person like me, you can print this editorial Calendar from your […]
Forums, Alerts, and Mind-mapping
So, any thoughts on day 9 through 11? #9 Forums: My take is that it is a good idea. And I don’t have the time. I found it particularly helpful in today’s (day 11)post that he shared his time management priorities, although vaguely. I too think that I’m going to have to put more time […]
How to Schedule a Post in WordPress
I’m not sure if Darren will cover this in this particular 31 days, but it is a great tool to keep the blog rolling, even when you’re not. So much. Rolling. And I get a lot of questions about this not working in wordpress. Also I receive comments from people finding that it is a […]
