Welcome to my online diary. These posts are impressions from my life. I guess in some ways, for some people, they could be construed as genius while for others, utter boredom ;) Either way, I think and edit before I publish, you can count on that. I hope you find it a good read.

I've been blogging siince December of 2006 and become quite into the subculture and business of it. If you'd like to read more about me, please visit my online resume and drop me a line. Enjoy DATSOL!

The Constants of Good Blogs

pftffDATSOLDLP
Change is a constant with me and blogging, anybody on my blogroll can attest to that. But through testing and trial error, I have learned some constants. Those are the things you see on all my blogs. When I started back in December of 2006, I had no clue what social media was or for that matter, what “writeable” meant on a php sidebar file.

Now, I know … well, more about blogging. You can read about all I learned in those days over at PostCards from the Funny Farm. Do a search on blogging and have fun! Most recent and notable would be how I got my Google PageRank back. But I digress, the topic here tonight is this: What I am doing with my blogs …

First of all, I am keeping it simple. I’ve made the bold decision to use Kubrick on all three blogs.

Second, I am making my blogs readable and catchy. Minimum of 100 words a post and paragraphs broken up by subtitles in bold to keep the reader’s attention. I don’t always do this but I recognize my readers’ time is valuable and that I need to get on with my point.

Last, I am doing sponsored posts. This is an amazing phenomena so if you are making fun of it, you should stop and get what you can while you can. I recommend you start through the PayPerPost button in my sidebar here, it earns me a referral fee (and you get 20 bucks as well!).

I am doing well at adhering to my personal rating criteria called CAN. It is going quite well and keeping me focused on what I know is important.

Any questions? Comments?
