I figured out what my problem is with all these Mac-compatible offline blogging programs I’ve been trialing… I am used to Windows Live Writer which is a WYSIWYG editor (what you see is what you get…think Adobe Dreamweaver)…it’s easy. I was trying to compare software such as MarsEdit to Windows Live Writer which apparently is [...]

I mentioned last week I was looking for a blog editor to use with my new Mac. In that post, I said I was planning to try both Ecto and MarsEdit. Well I’ve tried both and I’m less than impressed. I’ve also tried Blogo and MacJournal…I’ve spent the least amount of time with MacJournal (to [...]

Some SEO Nerd Fun

Posted by: admin In: Fun Stuff

In addition to this blog, I also have a blog that revolves around my horse Grayson. The blog is less than a month old but when I was writing the title tags for the About Grayson page, I thought I’d have some fun

 
 
 
 
 
 
bahahaha!

Mashable wrote an article yesterday about Twitter’s growth stalling…I was actually just thinking about this. I thought “Wow, I haven’t heard a lot about Twitter recently…people must be getting bored with it”
I’m on Twitter and I’ve tried to become all savvy with it because I’m an internet marketing specialist and that’s what we do, right?

Screwy Theme

Hmmm…my theme looks to be doing some odd things. I better look into that.

I take tons of pictures. I usually take the pictures off my camera and immediately upload them to Flickr. I organized my pictures on both my computer and Flickr by creating a [...]

I think we will be best of friends in no time.

I have made it clear that I am a Windows Live Writer fan. I refuse to use the WordPress interface…it makes me feel claustrophobic and it just frustrates me.
When I bought my Mac I forget to consider not being able to use WLW! yikes! I know I need a blogging editor because of the sheer [...]

Several months ago I switched from WordPress to Blogger because I did not want to pay for hosting. But after finding a super awesome deal with DreamHost, I created a new horse blog and I wanted to switch back to WordPress.
I’ve heard switching isn’t all that hard…and it’s not but you have to be prepared [...]

Passed My Google Advertising Fundamentals Exam

Posted by: admin In: Google

Woo Hoo! After a few days of studying, I passed (score of 92%) the test to become an AdWords Qualified Professional.
My thoughts on the exam:

I thought the ratio of time (2 hours) and questions (120) were right on. I finished the test in an hour but went back to questions I had “marked” because I [...]
