Guru Fodder Out For A Drive

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I was sent this video and told emphatically that Marge, who we know here has been very subdued lately, is actually very keen on having a laugh.
Could this be Homer & Marge out for a Sunday afternoon drive?

Let me know what you think.

1. Some people watched the video here and couldn’t follow the link to the other videos.

This is what you need - Easy HyperLinks Tutorials

How To Maximise Links From Squidoo Lenses

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

t’s obvious really. The internet works because of links. If there are no links to your website or blog then no one will find it.
Your links need to be everywhere:
* Comments in blog posts, Squidoo Lenses, Hub Pages etc
* In articles
* On other websites
* In emails you send
* On Social Bookmarking sites
In fact, the more [...]

How To Find Your Voice As A Blogger

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Image via Wikipedia
Too young to remember the 60s? Maybe but I’m sure you will have heard My Generation and Substitute by The Who.
The “leader” of the band was Pete Townsend. I was amazed to hear him say that Roger Daltrey’s singing on the early songs, including My Generation, was lacking. To this day, having heard [...]

Why Trackbacks Get You More Links

Friday, April 18th, 2008

For about a year I’ve been looking for a good explanation and video about trackbacks and exactly how they work.

Secret Guru Training Revealed - How To Set Up Customer Services

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

It’s started to happen. The Anti Hype is getting some insider help.
I cannot reveal my source but I have it on reliable authority that a guy named Harold Cameron is being used by the Bad Gurus to act as a customer service training mentor.
Harold (clearly potential Guru Fodder) is unwittingly providing the Bad Gurus with [...]

Word Press Backups

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

One video missing from the series on how to get set up using WordPress is, in my opinion, on the most important subject - BackUps.
Sexy, no. Interesting, no. Must have, yes.
If you don’t back-up your blog and a disaster befalls you you’ve lost everything.
Now I hate this type of admin. - time consuming & boring [...]

Word Press Ban Blogs

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

Is that a hyped-up headline?
I’d say “no”. I’d say that is a good headline. It is factually correct and attracts attention.
Hopefully it doesn’t apply to you. It refers to the other type of Wordpress blog - you know the type that are hosted by WordPress with the style yoursite.wordpress.com These are exactly the type of [...]
