Blogger Experiment Update

I wanted to update you on the development of my travel photo blog, which is powered by Blogger. As I mentioned I am running this small experiment to learn how blogger works and to see how easy [or difficult] it is to rank a free blogspot blog on the 1st page of Google.
Yesterday I added [...]

Wordpress Plugin Competition

I’m a big fan of Wordpress, and I think it’s great what the theme and plugin designers do to create excellent work, in their own time, for free. This is partly why the Wordpress community has been so successful.
I’m not a theme or plugin designer, but what better way to put something back into the [...]

An experiment with Google’s Blogger

An Audience with Amateur Bloggers

Today, I received an email, informing me that the tips on Blogged Out were very basic, and that I should ‘get more pro’ with my blogging. Firstly, I love feedback, and people leaving comments – it’s what keeps us bloggers going.
I had to comment here though because this blog is not for the pro blogger [...]

Reasons why I dislike Google’s Blogger

My main reason for disliking Google’s Blogger is the fact that it’s being used to create tons of doorway pages to dodgy sites - it’s being used to help spammers promote these sites in the search engines, and here’s me thinking that Google introduced the “sandbox” to stop spammers from making revenue.
Google’s Blogger, started the introduction [...]

The Highs and Lows of Blogging

Wow, what a hectic time it has become for this blogger. Apologies for the lack of posts in recent weeks, as you probably have realised I’ve been busy with life, and have been doing some travelling which has meant me neglecting this blog.
Thanks to those of you that have emailed me wondering where the hell [...]

Well, this is my last post before I head to Latvia for a relaxing break. Some interesting links this week, and I’ll start off with ThemesPress.com, which allows you to create your own blog theme, choose your colours, insert your graphics and preview your theme. It only costs $10 with unlimited edits of the [...]
