Warning: there is some suspiciously guru-ish lingo and ideas coming up. Sorry. I’m not a Twitter guru. I’m not a social media expert. Anyone that tells you they are is a douchebag. I just had an idea that might be fun, one that I’m going to try myself, and I thought you might be interested. [...]

You know what would be awesome? This: .text-right { text-align: right; } .sidebar-text { font-size: 1.2em; include: text-right; } See what I did there? Now, how is that helpful? I mean, it would surely be just as easy to type text-align: right rather than include: text-right. Where I think it’s helpful is in dealing with [...]
I use TweetDeck to organize the people that I follow on Twitter and Facebook, and I have the application divided up into many columns. Three of the columns are Do Not Miss, AM (for Affiliate Marketing) and Autos/Companies. I always pay close attention to the people that I’ve put into the Do Not Miss column. [...]

You walk into a boardroom, a party, or a social gathering where people are interested in what you’ve got to say about your product. Chit-chat is encouraged, people are making small talk. You talk about yourself and talk up [...]

With both legitimate marketers and spammers setting their sights on Twitter, it is only a matter of time before spam becomes a major problem. Anyone at all can send you an “at” message, and unfollowing someone is a very final solution. What if you like 90% of what someone tweets but they throw in a [...]
Everyone, and I mean everyone, is welcome to follow me on Twitter. That’s not exactly an earth-shattering statement, but according to many Twitter users, some followers are less desirable than others. Porn bots – Twitter accounts that have a scantily clad avatar, are following 1,000-2,000 people, and have ten tweets that are variations of “come [...]
This is weird little blog post because I’m going to recommend you join an association that I’m not renewing my membership with. The National Association of Photoshop Professionals has been a fantastic resource for me over the past four years. The benefits of membership are enormous: written and video tutorials, a rich community forum, discounts, [...]
