January 24, 2009

Blogger and WordPress are both blog platforms as well as blog hosting services. The latter allows you to write and post blogs on their servers, saving you the effort of setting up your own server. This is useful if you are an individual blogger, less if you happen to be an organization. I have been […]

Keeping the Writing Flame Alive

January 21, 2009

As of January 20th, I have written more posts than I did in the first five months of 2008, which shows how pitiful my blogging activity was. Last year was very chaotic for me on both the personal and professional level. Too many activities consumed too much time and attention. In addition, the unprecedented primary […]

In the last couple of days, Phil Haack and Guy Kawasaki (separately) have written beautiful posts on subjects that I mentioned in my latest posts. On validation, Phil writes “Don’t Be a Validation Nazi” to follow on his “… How to Validate an Email Address …” post. My article on the subject of unnecessary field […]

The Full Feed Problem Again

July 10, 2007

I am a huge fan of McConnell and actually buy his books to use as reference material, instead of my usual method of borrowing them from a library. His blog is pretty good and I would encourage you to […]

Using Web Site Analytics Data

May 20, 2007

I have previously blogged about Google Analytics (“Experience with Google Analytics”, “Google Analytics Rebooted”) in various posts. I have been using it for several months now for my website and blog. Initially meant to be just a site visitor counter, it has evolved into providing many other pieces of useful information.

A Collection of Bad Blog Behavior

February 25, 2007

Having subscribed and unsubscribed to several different blogs over the last few months and using different feed readers (Google Reader, Internet Explorer 7 RSS Reader, Thunderbird, intraVnews, etc.) and tools like Yahoo Pipes, I thought I would take a stab at the kind of blogs that I don’t really like. Here is some bad behavior […]

Corporate Blogging Research

February 11, 2007

Recently, I came across CorpBlawg, a blog maintained by Cornelius Puschmann, which seeks to explore the linguistic aspects of corporate blogging. On reading his blog, I realized that this is the first time I thought about blogging “genres” — a word which is typically associated with movies. So far, I have thought more in terms […]

Your Public Blog is really Public

February 8, 2007

I came across the blog of an acquaintance today. My emotions when I read it went like this, “You have got to be kidding me. Are you really putting this on public view?” I don’t want to link to the blog, but here is some information. The guy has put his real name on the […]
