		<description><![CDATA[This may be the most important post you’ll read in a while, so don’t go away.  You’ll learn what you need to know about upgrading and backing up your WordPress blog to avoid disaster.  I can help – I was there. One fateful evening a little over a week ago, I finally felt it was safe to upgrade to WordPress 3.0.1.  I had been waiting for the first “fixes” after heeding the warnings that the first upgrade to a new number in the series usually has issues so I didn’t upgrade to 3.0.  I dutifully deactivated all my plugins, clicked on upgrade now and swiftly received the message that the upgrade was successful!   I shut down my computer for the night.  Next morning, I opened my blog and most of my home page was missing and I was unable to access my blog posts. FYI, I believe in wearing both a belt and suspenders, so I back up my blog with Amazon S3, BackBuddy (the WordPress backup tool),and the plugins WordPress DataBase Backup and WordPress Online Automated Backup.  Should be an easy fix to get my site back up,  Right?  Not so fast. I called HostGator first to see if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just learned about a new site, Business.gov, which is hosted by the U.S. Small Business Administration.  I’ve joined this community where you can get useful advice about running a business, and posting topics for discussion.  There are several guest bloggers (I don’t see how you get your name in front of the SBA staff to become a blogger but I’ll keep looking.) and the opportunity to comment on topics posted by community members.  You need to be careful not to be too commercial but you are allowed one link back to your blog. From the SBA website:  &#8220;Idea Exchange:  Each month, the Business.gov team poses a question to the Community about specific topics, features, or services provided on Business.gov. An idea exchange is a collection of ideas posted by members in the Community. Anyone in the Community can see and give Kudos to the ideas you post.  July 2010 topic:  How can traditional marketing techniques be changed to accommodate the rise of new media marketing, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, online coupons, and email campaigns? Traditional marketing and new media marketing can be integrated to cross promote your business and hit different potential customers. For those who have utilized [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You might be interested in trying out two free tools to help evaluate the effectiveness of your website/blog. Website Grader compares your site to other blogs and Headline Analyzer evaluates the Emotional Marketing Value (EMV) of your headlines, taking into account how the headline evokes intellectual, empathetic and spiritual responses.  These tools won’t solve all your problems but they provide some interesting information and it’s fun to see how you stack up. Website Grader is a HubSpot program and gives your site an overall grade.  I entered my website address and got a grade of 95.  A grade between 95.5/100 means that your site scores higher than the 2,512,992 websites that have been ranked so far.  Wow!  Then I got the score for The Bloggers’ Bulletin and it is 98.  Wow, wow!  Here is what the program analyzes: Content (blogs, Google indexed pages and readability level) Optimization (metadata, headings, images, and interior page analysis) Promotion (how you rank on social media sites) HubSpot also offers a more detailed program, but that one costs (I do not have any financial connection). Emotional Marketing Value (EMV) Headline Analyzer, administered by The Advanced Marketing Institute, is a tool that measures how you are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks to my blog coach, Bea Fields, for bringing this new App to my attention – it’s called Audioboo.  This is a super simple way to record a podcast and upload it to your WordPress blog in about five minutes.  It’s designed specifically for use with an IPhone or Android smart phone.   Bea has created a tutorial that I don’t think she’ll mind if I share with you.  But, briefly, here is how it works:   Go to http://audioboo.fm/ to sign up for a free account and download your IPhone or Android App.  Or you can download directly from your phone’s App store. Go to your WordPress blog and download the audioboo-wp plugin, which is actually a widget. Then drag your audioboo widget into the sidebar widget of your choice.  I’ve used the sidebar in my blog page, which is where I get most of my traffic. Then you’re ready to record on your phone, no matter where you are, or directly on the audioboo.fm site. After recording on your smart phone you hit “publish” and the podcast is automatically uploaded to the widget in your blog. Here is the link to my first podcast if you’d like to listen.

		<description><![CDATA[That’s the question my blogging coach Bea Fields who conducts the “Become a Blogging Maniac” course asked several of us on our weekly call where we offer each other advice, the names of new WordPress plug-ins, articles to read, etc.  We’re graduates of her course and have formed a nice circle of bloggers who care about each other.  She asked us to look at our blogs and ask ourselves: What would you change about your blog? What would you stop doing? What would you start doing? What would you do more of? After some thought, I realized that the questions were really about how would changing our blogs change our business.  It was surprising how frank we were in admitting we don’t have all the answers.  I know I don’t.  My blog has become central to my business and how I promote myself.  Honestly, without getting too gushy, my blog is me.  Putting in the work, week in and week out, I have accumulated a body of writing that has literally pulled me in the direction I want to go. In looking back at the topics I’ve covered in my blog, I’ve found where my passion lies.  I know every professional [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To continue our discussions about building a social community, are we in danger of becoming social media snobs? I recently bought an IPhone because too many people were teasing me about using an old-fashioned date book.  True, I find it useful to be connected to email when I’m away from my office for an extended period, and like playing with some of the apps.  But, honestly, I find it just as easy to put my dates in my dog-eared calendar as it is to input them to my ICal. By the same token, should we look down on colleagues who don’t have a presence on every social media site?  I was with a client the other day and she apologized for not being on Twitter and Facebook.  She was embarrassed to admit it. Well, maybe her business doesn’t call for her to have those accounts. She’s got a very successful company and sending out tweets may not be necessary.  She doesn’t have time, with all the business she’s managing, and may not feel the need to become part of a social community. I honestly think a lot of people are stepping back and saying, whoa, what am I doing here?  [...]]]></description>
