Lately I’ve been extremely overwhelmed with the task of creating a steady stream of content for my blogs.
When I started seriously blogging in 2006, I felt like it was important to separate all of my blogs. I was using the Typepad platform, and category tags weren’t really available then. I tho... Comment - Like

Author biography boxes are an incredible way to promote blog contributors and their credentials, and to separate posts. WordPress plugins allow bloggers to easily add these items to any hosted blog.

Over the last year, you’ve probably noticed that I’ve posted less and less.
And less.
To be honest, I could not stomach the thought of looking at my blog.

Now that I’ve taken my shots at MySpace, let’s move on to Facebook.

One of the most annoying questions I receive from authors and publicists is, "Where is my book review link?"
Book reviews are fluid animals in the online realm and are posted when 1) the post had been uploaded 2) the post has been edited and 3) when the host has a slot open for it. (Virtual book to... Comment - Like

Years ago, I created a portal site on Typepad. The idea was to have one place where I could send everyone to find links to my blogs, podcasts, resume, social networks and references.

Over the last year, I’ve worked to transfer all domains from the horrendous labyrinth of GoDaddy hell to the more serene interface of 1and1.com.
At the time, I had about 50 domains. After I’d axed what I didn’t need, I was left with 30.

I constantly check reviews on Amazon sites for reviews of products I want to buy. The star rating is what I look at first, then the reviews.
One thing I've noticed recently, though, is how people misuse the review area of Amazon - and, ultimately, skew the star rating system.

Lately, many authors and publicists have tried to dictate the time a review runs.
Some have even suggested that they won't send books unless reviews post when they want them to.
It's not a bad thing to tell reviewers what period of time you'd like a review to run, but to try ... Comment - Like
