10 Ways to Get Inspired to Blog

Erica — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 01:37:42 +0000

Guest post by Alexis Bonari Contrary to popular thought, blogging and writing well isn’t really about getting inspired at all. It’s about being inspired in our day-to-day lives. Going to work at a boring nine-to-five job and coming home to a boring home to a boring TV dinner isn’t exactly going to inspire earth shattering [...]

Erica — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 17:15:52 +0000

I’ve heard it happens… that every blogger goes through a sort of dry spell from time to time. And, I’ve had some ups and downs, busy and slow times, but never anything like this. It’s not that I don’t want to blog. Or, even that I put it off. Yes, I’ve been busy, but it’s [...]

Differences and Limitations of WordPress.com as Opposed to WordPress.org

Erica — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 19:53:01 +0000

I’m a WordPress.org (Self Hosted) girl myself, but I started out with Blogspot (Blogger.) While I never hosted my own site on a WordPress.com account, I have [...]

Web Etiquette Defined – The Simplest of Courtesies

Erica — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 15:26:04 +0000

While reading the Family Technology column at Type-A Mom I ran across a great article by Kris Cain of LittleTechGirl.com. I especially like Kris’ analogy of the web being a wall… … I think part of the issue is that the web is like a big wall. On one side is the internet, and on [...]
