Life Onwards

In some cases they make your blog look better but numerous times I’ve come across bloggers relating their sites have been hijacked.

The fact is most plugins are designed for a specific reason and style of WordPress install. While there’s tons of band wagon bloggers that are ready to backpat endorse things to come across as competant, the majority of bloggers doing so usually don’t investigate thoroughly before opening their mouths.

It’s like if Jeffrey Dahmer started marketing chocolate covered beef decades ago…when it comes to ‘useability’, bloggers endorsing the efforts of others often have less than a month’s experience of gobbledegook.

How long should a person use a product before promoting it to others online?

If a product now being marketed through SEO tactics becomes a catastrophe towards consumers, how much responsibility should bloggers be held accountable to?

I don’t read that many blogs online, for the most part I don’t find common reasons to follow them. While many are unique, the blogging scene became overtaken by clicques like the ‘link-lovers’, the drama WAHMers, and the pyramid schemers.

Chances are if I’ve ever commented on your blog, it’s because I thought you were unique. If I didn’t but you saw my IP there, chances are I felt it unnecessary to repeat what others may have said. I just respect people not to be a back patter trying to be seen.

About a month ago I came across a notice that there was an upcoming site still yet under construction, Mailboxpoint.com. Then there wasn’t anything to look at, save if you did a ‘WhoIs’ search to find out who it was registered to. Looking it up just today I was glad they finally came online.

The cool thing about today’s marketing portals is…well, they don’t look like yesterday’s pre-made script installs that was so popular ten years ago. Checking out the site it’s got a decent color scheme, layout’s appropriate, and the variety of mailboxes on their entry portal fits pretty much anything a person would want if they were looking for residential mailboxes. Unfortunately with me living in an apartment, I myself don’t have any need for a mailbox…but when it should come time to put up my white picket fence somewhere, this would be a place I’d want to check. For one reason.

Options. Enough for variety, but not too much for me to get lost in. The one benefit I saw when viewing this site? There weren’t any big pink kitten mail boxes for me to get lost on and lose my attention span to what I was originally wanting to do there.

I wonder if they’ll start marketing big kitten mailboxes now that they know there’s potential?

I simply refuse bit.ly URLs.

Originally it was tinyurl’s. Then a few others propogated. A few years ago someone came up with a great idea, until the sploggers and all got smart. That’s why I don’t allow ‘bit.ly’ URLs on [...] Continue Reading…

Years ago when I first received State Certification in the mental health field I faced the need of acquiring Continuing Education Units (CEUs), whether they be from college/university class attendance, seminars provided by certified trainers in my field of [...] Continue Reading…

I went to the grocer for some chicken, liverwurst, and some knives.  I like shopping for knives, except when they’re cheap like the ones I picked up.  I’m hoping one day to get my hands on something that Ying [...] Continue Reading…
