Now that I’ve taken my shots at MySpace, let’s move on to Facebook. The site is great for networking, but the constant changes to the interface, privacy setting woes and Terms of Services scandals mean you should use extreme caution when using the site. Last year, I blogged about an agent who wanted to do [...]

Over the last year, I’ve worked to transfer all domains from the horrendous labyrinth of GoDaddy hell to the more serene interface of 1and1.com. At the time, I had about 50 domains. After I’d axed what I didn’t need, I was left with 30. Instead of transferring them all at one time, I decided to [...]

Why Blogsites Rock
March 16th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Market My Novel, Uncategorized
I am in love with blogsites. These nifty online venues are a combination of a blog and Web site. Typically, they are created in the Typepad or WordPress platforms, which allow you to create pages with your blog. Why do I love them? Because I only have to go one place to find all the [...]
