The Art Of Promoting A Blog (4/10)

May 17, 2008 – 11:25 pm | 26 Comments

What most peo­ple (includ­ing me when I first started) don’t real­ize, is no mat­ter how great your blog is, chances are that if you don’t pro­mote it, peo­ple won’t find it. There are appar­ently over 50–60 mil­lions blogs world­wide and your blog could be lost in a dark cor­ner of the inter­net for­ever if you don’t “hunt” for readers.

Be The Blogger People Read (3/10)

May 10, 2008 – 6:53 pm | 15 Comments

Do you have a blog? Yes? Good. Cause I’m a pretty curi­ous woman (some would say it’s an euphemism…) and I love to browse blogs. Chances are that if you ever left a com­ment at my blog, ever sent me an email or just showed up here, I vis­ited you.

To start this series, I’d like to answer a much asked ques­tion: what is the dif­fer­ence between Blogger/ Blogspot and self-hosted WordPress?

Indeed, it’s some­times hard to make a deci­sion, whether you are new to blog­ging or are look­ing for the best plat­form. So here is my com­par­i­son chart:

Correr Es Mi Destino Reloaded !

September 18, 2007 – 6:24 pm | 16 Comments

After one week of strug­gling with HTML, Php and other bar­baric names… here I am on Wodrpress !

The move wasn’t that smooth… but quite inter­est­ing actually.

I had made the deci­sion to switch from Blog­ger to Word­press a few weeks ear­lier. I wanted more flex­i­bil­ity, I wanted to learn more about cod­ing, and I’ve been blog­ging for almost a years now — I knew I wasn’t going to quit any­time soon.
