I should also mention that i’m legitmately sorry for pushing my tweets on to this blog. It was a sad attempt at keeping this thing fresh. I know Pete was getting a double dose of boring and self indulgent Twitter action, and that blows.
Deep in my heart I actually think I’m a pretty good writer. Sure i spit a lot of crap out on to the internet, but when pressed I think I can actually write quite effectively.
Of course if one never writes, ones writing will suffer. It’s possible I’ve spent too much time in the last three years focusing on not forgetting how to ride a bike (despite the old adage that you can’t) and not enough time polishing the old brain.
If I were to make some bold proclamation about how I am going to start blogging regularly now to better my writing and keep the old brain functioning my dear readers would surely cry out that they’ve heard such promises before and are not convinced.
I think part of my problem has always been that I want to blog about the technical stuff that I do, but I’m terrified of getting something wrong and getting called out on it. Of course that’s the wrong approach, I ought to throw my thoughts out to the Internet and embrace any feedback i get. Right.
Over the last few months <a href=”http://www.marketingmason.com/blog/”>Peter</a>, the SEO manager at Zillow, has been teaching me a bit about SEO. It’s a fascinating game that can bring in big money if you’re good and you’ve got no morals. Anyway all this talk of SEO has inspired me to write more frequently for frequent updates make google smile upon you.
One of the things i’ve been playing with is this website. By no skill of my own I currently rank #2 when you type in “Henry Rose”. My great success is the tagline that google shows “Henry Rose is a man who enjoys a turducken Sandwich. Of course this is just a meta description tag, but still exciting to me as it’s my first success in manipulating the GOOG.
To cut to the chase i made another boring and self indulgent blog (exactly what this world needs). This one i’m only going to write about the internet on. The idea is to give tips for those just getting started as their the ones that can use my knowledge the most.
I ask any readers with a technical bent to call me out on my bullshit over on my new blog about how websites work. And if anybody has something they’d like to contribute (a shocking concept i know) let me know. I’d happily give you an account.
