Week 46 in Review
Seeing how I have boosted the frequency of posts here at my personal blog, I thought it would be nice to restart the recommended reading column again. So every Sunday from now on, I will be doing a nice little roundup of articles from my feedreader from the past week that I recommend everyone should take the time to read.
On average I will include around five articles, but if I feel that there are more that deserve your attention, I will naturally include more. If you have written a blog post you are particularly proud of, you can contact me, and I will take a look at it and see if I feel it deserves a recommendation.
Are they Milestones, Scores or Hurdles? – Chris Garret brings up an excellent point with this blog post which bloggers everywhere should think about.
. . . bloggers might be the most self-critical people I have ever met. In some cases monitoring our own progress can be a great thing, I expect we have all worked with people who we wish would have cared more about their own performance! But when we routinely beat ourselves up, something has to change . . .
Webmaster, stop being so AntiSocial!! - Another post which gives us something to think about, this one by Shana at the new group blog on social marketing called Collective Thoughts.
. . . Having a beautiful website that is constantly being optimized and fresh content added often is still extremely important, but it is not enough anymore. Personal Interaction with readers and other Webmasters and Bloggers in your Business Niche is a must . . .
Differentiate Or Die: Marketing’s Magic Bullet – Excellent post over at Freelance Switch by Jonathan Fields.
. . . Question is how? How do you demonstrate a level of differentiation that is so strong it immediately sets you apart from the field? Hmmm. For some people, it’s an easy challenge, but for 99% of us, it’s brutally hard . . .
Political Backlash on Reddit – David Chen at Pronet Advertising brings up one of the disadvantages of social community driven news sources.
. . . Since sites like Digg and Reddit exploded in popularity, it was only a matter of time before people tried to take advantage of them for their own purposes . . .
How To Implement Tags In Your WordPress Themes – Lastly a bit of blatant self promotion, this is a post I wrote over at Everybody Go To.
. . . many bloggers found themselves unable to take advantage of this new feature because the themes they were currently using at their blogs didn’t support tagging . . .
Hopefully you will enjoy these articles if you haven’t already read all of them. And of course, if you have any recommendations of your own, feel free to post a comment and share them with the rest of us!
