Six Reasons Why You Should Invest the Time to Learn
I had been involved with web design for a few years before I ever started blogging. In my opinion, being able to work with the code of a blog is a huge advantage that many bloggers choose not to pursue.May 15, 2008
Aside form the design aspect of creating an attractive blog, being able to work with the coding will allow you to make changes and adjustments to your blog any time you want, rather than relying on a professional to do it for you, or rather than just limiting yourself to what’s available with the theme you have chosen. Most blogs need a bit of customization from time-to-time, and for someone who has no experience with HTML or CSS this be a bit intimidating. However, if you’re working with WordPress you really only need a basic knowledge in order to make many of the customizations that you would like, and you don’t even need to know PHP in most cases (those who aren’t comfortable with PHP just need to be able to recognize it and avoid it when making changes to the HTML).

The next step is to use keywords in your posts if you target a good ranking with Google.

Search Engine Optimization: The Title Tag
Welcome to the third video post on Daily Blog Tips (there is a category just for them now). On this video we are going to talk about the most important SEO factor: the Title Tag. If you are using WordPress you can use this code to create an optimal title tag (just paste it in the header):May 12, 2008
<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(‘name’); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo(‘name’); } elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title();} elseif (is_page() ) { single_post_title();} else { wp_title(‘’,true); } ?></title>Here is a rough transcript of the video (the blog used for example was PublicRecordsGuy.com): Read moreKeys to an Effective Idea Journal
Probably my most valuable possession as a blogger is my idea notebook/journal. Because I maintain two blogs of my own and I write on a regular basis for a few other blogs, post ideas are priceless. Without a constant flow of ideas the results of my writing would suffer and my income would drop. I know just about every blogger out there faces the same issue of constantly pumping out ideas for new posts. For me, the idea notebook is the cure to blogger’s block, and I know many other bloggers use the same approach, or at least a similar one. If you don’t already use a notebook or a journal to keep track of your ideas, I highly suggest that you start one as soon as you finish reading this post. If you do already keep a notebook, here are some keys that I have found for maximizing its effectiveness. 1 – Available When You Need It The main reason for having an idea journal is to get your ideas on paper before you forget them. Most of us have plenty of ideas, they just don’t come at the most convenient times. With an idea journal you can write down your ideas as they come, and then when you have time to write you can refer to the journal for possible post ideas. If you just leave your journal next to your computer it will not be very effective. Read moreMay 9, 2008
