I wrote a couple of posts about Posterous in the last week or so...
Get Posterous-ized...
The Great Posterous Experiment...
If you aren't familiar with Posterous, they might be a good place to start.
As mentioned in "The Great Posterous Experiment", I devoted the weekend to using Posterous while on a … (3 comments)

blogging: The Great Posterous Experiment... - 11/26/09 08:32 PM
I have been VERY curious about Posterous. I have watched about it, written about it, listened about it and played with it. But I have really "used" it much.
I'm a Man with an Excuse Plan...
While everyone else is shopping for nifty junk they don't need for people they may … (8 comments)

blogging: Get Posterous-ized... - 11/25/09 09:09 PM
Let's get the first part out of the way... It is pronounced pa-stir-us... like in preposterous... which would be "life before Posterous."
Posterous is a blogging site... and if you are playing in social media, you really need to get onto it if you aren't already. In fact, I will be … (11 comments)

blogging: What about WordPress MU? - 11/24/09 10:49 PM
I was wandering around the control panel for my webhost (I use BlueHost - affiliate link) and noticed that I had 12 blogs I was administering. Don't panic, that includes my wife's websites for her company, as well as a family blog and the blog for my son's Flat Stanley.
But … (9 comments)

blogging: 'Cuz Brad and Bobby SAID SO... - 11/20/09 07:41 PM
A while back, Brad and/or Bobby Carroll made a VERY valid point about online identity... specifically, having a cohesive design theme throughout your sites.
I've crunched this over for a few months... looking at a few options... and finally started down the path of making several of my sites more complimentary … (8 comments)

blogging: The Blog Post "Circle of Life" - 10/29/09 09:19 PM
It all starts with a consumer... a consumer that needs to know the answer to a question. Maybe they have emailed... or asked during a listing presentation... maybe even just mentioned it at a party.
But at the heart there is a question... and a consumer.
Lane, shouldn't we list with … (3 comments)

blogging: Lane's Active Rain Ambassador Series - Part V... Some Random Musings... - 10/21/09 01:17 PM
No, the series isn't wrapping up... But there are a few things that I have wanted to say that were too short for their own post, but didn't fit neatly in other posts...
Community...
Active Rain is a social network, at least as much as FaceBook, and certainly more that … (5 comments)

OK, so you've joined Active Rain, tweaked your profile (Part I), started to do a little lurking (Part II)... now you are ready to hit the ground and run.

blogging: Lane's Active Rain Ambassador Series - Part I... Your Profile - 10/16/09 11:55 AM
One of the very first things a new member to Active Rain should do is "tune their profile". In order to wring the most performance out of it, we have to make sure it is optimized...

blogging: How often do you unplug? - 10/04/09 11:15 PM
My answer would be almost never... and constantly.
A couple of times per year I try to break away from the machines and enjoy a little real off-time. Not much... just a few days here and there. Heck, I've been known to work through issues while waiting my turn on the … (13 comments)

blogging: Have you read? - 09/26/09 10:14 PM
Chris Brogan?
He was just the keynote speaker yesterday at the New Media Atlanta event here in Atlanta. Honestly, I knew from the bio that Matt Fagioli sent out (excitedly) that Chris co-wrote Trust Agents... but I hadn't heard of the book, and I didn't know he was "significant".
So shoot … (7 comments)

So, are you going to New Media Atlanta?
If you have been to REtechSouth, you have an idea of what … (2 comments)

blogging: Starting a Blog? Need something to write about? - 09/20/09 10:46 PM

I think that having a series is one of the greates things you can do in order to spur your creative blogging juices... as well as establish a regular blogging schedule.

blogging: 8 Cool Tools... Avoid Analysis Paralysis... #6 - 08/23/09 10:07 PM
Analysis Paralysis...
If you haven't heard the statement, it is summing up the "Ready, Aim Fire, Aim Fire, Aim" menality. Basically, spending forever making the plan, and then never following through and actually "doing" the plan.
And then...
There is the opposite side of the coin... "Ready, Fire, Aim". That doesn't … (7 comments)

RSS... Really Simple Syndication. Rich Site Summary.

So, just a moment ago I posted the other half of this blog. I worked VERY hard to make it visually unappealing and kind of boring. I did that on purpose. For a purpose.
You see, there are SO many ways to add rich media to your WordPress and Active|Rain posts.
