It’s such a shame that people like this can’t channel their skills into something worthwhile, instead of screwing up other people’s PC’s. A friend called me on Saturday morning because his PC had caught a Virus. Could I help him sort it out, he wanted to know. We met up just after lunch and I [...]

I was helping someone restore their blog the other day. They had tried to add a new domain to their Hostgator account and the result wasn’t pretty. Their existing blog (the primary domain for their Hostgator account) was suddenly not available at all. In any guise. We couldn’t navigate to it as a visitor and [...]

I introduced some of the online Internet Marketing tools I use in this article, with the promise I’d review more. So here they are. Again, they’re all free to use although some do have some limitations. To get around them you’ll need to either upgrade or pay. The cost is usually insanely cheap, though, and [...]

I was helping a friend the other day and needed to get FTP access to their site. So they fired up the web based FTP tool provided by their hosting provider. And it was one of the least intuitive applications I’ve ever seen! So I showed her how to install Filezilla and it took us [...]

10 years ago ‘build it and they’ll come’ worked on-line. Today it doesn’t. Today there are so many web pages out there that any site that hopes to receive visitors has to be positioned well and promoted cleverly. And the bar is getting higher all the time. Someone with next to zero technical skills can [...]

I saw an interesting question in a forum this week: Why don’t the comments I leave on blogs get approved? I can only speak for myself, but here are some of my thoughts, for what they’re worth: I get a lot of comments that are clearly there just for the link. I mean screamingly, obviously [...]

A question I saw in a forum today: How do I get started in Internet and Affiliate Marketing? The person asking the question had read tons of guru books and tried a whole lot of different things, but nothing had worked for him. Here’s the answer I offered: Boy, do I sympathise with what you’re [...]

RSS subscribe buttons (that thing on the left) are an easy way to get people to sign up to your blog updates. Some themes come with them already installed, but some don’t – even though your blog does have an RSS feed. So if your theme doesn’t have an RSS button here’s how to set [...]

Because it makes your blog’s RSS feed as widely readable as possible, provides you with some great statistics and incorporates RSS updates by email RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. It allows information to be syndicated – made available to RSS readers, blogs, websites or anyone who’s interested. [...]

Brian Clark recently released the Authority Rules report. If you haven’t read it you must – it contains enormous value. But, even more interesting, he recently published a post on CopyBlogger that explained his strategy behind Authority Rules. Rarely have I seen a better example and lesson in how to market on-line – both the [...]

Sometimes, just sometimes, the commands on the toolbars in the WordPress post- or page-write screens decide they’re not going to work. As frustrating as that is, particularly when you’re trying to get a post published by a deadline, the fix is usually pretty simple. But that didn’t stop me taking 5 hours today, doing all [...]

Here’s a question I saw today: can someone explain how to back up my WordPress blog? Backing up your blog is an essential housekeeping task that you should do at least once a week. If you’re a hyper blogger (2, 3 or more posts a day) then you’d probably want to back up your database [...]
