There were signs, if you knew where to look, that the launch of Operation Sea Arrrgh was imminent. In a hundred corners of the internet plots were being plotted; in fancydress shops sales of Guy Fawkes masks were rising and in thousands of dank teenage bedrooms young men and women were making plans to converge on sites around the world, dressed as pirates. Their target was the Church of Scientology - and this was an altogether new way of protesting. It was all so different from how it used to A minuet of a different sort
The purchase of a syringa minuet, i.e., a minuet lilac, a miniature late-blooming, butterfly-attracting, sweet, sweet-smelling lilac, didn't take very long yesterday but planting it will take the rest of the day.

This is part of a series of posts on improving the search engine optimization and traffic counts of individual blogs. Previous articles focused on SEO, the importance of keywords, using images to generate site traffic, and producing quality content. No matter why you blog, chances are that you hope to reach some sort of audience; after all, you might as well keep a written diary if you don't want people to read your work. With this in mind, today we'll take a look at some basic strategies to BlogRolled: a quick route to the Google penalty box?
Back in February of 2007 I removed my blogroll from this site and declared blogrolls to be dead. My logic, at the time, was that links from within my posts were of more value to people I read as readers may actually click on them, and the fact that if I were to link to everybody I read then my blog roll with be a couple of hundred links long.

A heapin' hunk o' questions came in while I was on vacation, so let me catch up with them. Mike wrote to ask, "Could we talk about making money through publishing in ways other than writing books? Like manuscript critique, reading submissions for publishers, writing reviews, etc. Do you think there's value in these sidelines?" There's certainly value in these endeavors, Mike, but in most of them there's not much money.

The modern world giveth, and the modern world taketh away. We clearly live in an era where the ubiquity of computers brings new experiences to a greater and broader base of people all over the world. Unfortunately, not all of these experiences are good ones. A disturbing new trend involves hacking feeds, and appending a thoroughly un-subtle collection of less-than-savory links to someone’s feed. Perhaps the most unpleasant aspect of this is that unless the blogger in question is looking at his
