Quick Thoughts on an Easy Sunday

If I ever buy a TiVo, it’ll be because I just can’t get enough of Paula Deen

If you’re looking for a great example of Knowledge Arbitrage, check out Fantasy Congress – like fantasy sports, but for politics…

Those MyBlogLog widgets showing a thousand faces on it seem to be more about the blog owner than the blog community. A good compromise is to show three faces across (like this) by eliminating the names (though folks love seeing their name as much – maybe more – than their face)…

One of my favorite Business Blog Coaches, Claire Raikes has good advice on how to mentally Handling Comment Spam. During my time away, I got quite a bit of litter (that’s what I call it). Just quietly clean it up, right Claire?

If you’re looking at centering an image in your blog post, change the opening paragraph tag <p> to this: <p style="text-align:center">.  That’s how I formatted the valentine in the previous post.

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    Paula Deen is an interesting character. I saw their vacation show yesterday. They are a funny family, but I don’t know if Paula is worth a TiVo.
    MyBlogLog is awesome (that is how I found your BLOG). I use social networking to meet people. MyBlogLog is my social network of choice. Yes, I do like to see new people join my community.
    Enjoy your Sunday.

    Mike I agree completely about the MyBlogLog widget, the ones with a million small pics and no names seems to be for the blog owner’s benefit more than the community’s. I want mine to be big enough so that everyone can see WHO is visiting my blog, AND read their names.

    re: MyBlogLog widget. I use 10 photos with no names. You can see the names if you mouseover the photo. I figure that allows more photos to ‘stick’ longer. I like MBL as a social network.
    peace, Villager

    Hey Mike,
    Your post afforded me some new places to poke around. Thanks for all the great info.
    Since we’re doing synchronicity of communication I wondered if I could interest you in being interviewed on my podcast the last Tuesday of August. Are you game and will you be around? Give me a call, post, or email. Whichever works.
    Glad you are back up and running again. Keep up the good work.

    Gee, Mike, you burst my bubble.
    I had visualized you centering that thing with a T-Square and a mechanical pencil while wearing your “I Want My Hospital Gown Back” T-Shirt.
    Good to see you clearly back in the groove, Mike. I am thankful.
