A Day in the Life of a Blogger – Thoughts by Wilfried F. Voss

On May 22, 2012, in Articles, Blogging Aspects, Professional Blogging, Wilfried F. Voss, by Editor

Oh well, my blogging day usually starts at 5:30 in the morning and ends about two hours later. Yes, I do have a daytime job that pays the bills, and blogging, as much fun as it is, does not pay off. Considering the time I spend and the money I make, I work way below minimum wage when it comes to blogging. Nevertheless, blogging is fun, and I still hope that some time the efforts will result in some kind of financial independence.

Net Smart: How to Thrive Online and Use Social Media Intelligently by Howard Rheingold

On May 12, 2012, in Book Reviews, Business & Investing, Nonfiction, Technology, by Editor

Rheingold points out that there is a bigger social issue at work in digital literacy, one that goes beyond personal empowerment. If we combine our individual efforts wisely, it could produce a more thoughtful society: countless small acts like publishing a Web page or sharing a link could add up to a public good that enriches everybody.

Bloggers: Attract Search Engines’ Attention With Hyperlinks

On May 4, 2012, in Professional Blogging, Tips & Tricks, by Editor

I had a problem with some posts, meaning their number of views increased significantly slower than others. In my view, this was not a problem with the topic, and I can now prove my point. The simple problem was the number of hyperlinks within these posts.

On January 28, 2012, in Book Reviews, Business & Investing, Nonfiction, Social Studies, Technology, by Editor

Social networks are the defining cultural movement of our time, empowering us in constantly evolving ways. We can all now be reporters, alerting the world to breaking news of a natural disaster; we can participate in crowd-sourced scientific research; and we can become investigators, helping the police solve crimes.

Are Brick & Mortar Bookstores Prepared For The Future?

On November 27, 2011, in Articles, Home Business, Wilfried F. Voss, by Editor

In terms of bookstores, the challenge is real. Within the next few years, we will witness the vanishing of the majority of the good old-fashioned brick & mortar bookstores. Thus, the question of “Are Brick & Mortar Bookstores Prepared For The Future?” is valid. Are bookstore owners determined and prepared to face the challenge, or do they dwell in a mixture of apathy and ignorance?

On September 4, 2011, in Book Reviews, Nonfiction, by Editor

Veteran journalists Kovach and Rosenstiel (The Elements of Journalism) begin their intelligent and well-written guidebook by assuring readers this is not unfamiliar territory. The printing press, the telegraph, radio, and television were once just as unsettling and disruptive as today’s Internet, blogs, and Twitter posts.

Are You Digital Sharecropping Your Book Business?

On August 22, 2011, in Guest Writers, Reader Views, by Reader Views

You may know the definition of sharecropping as farming practices; the landlord owns the land and takes majority of the profits while individual farmers work the land. Digital sharecropping is no different. Landlords own the site and we, as authors, populate their sites with content. We sow, they reap.

Blogging: Sometimes You Do Need That Personal Shrink

On May 11, 2011, in Blogging Aspects, Professional Blogging, by Editor

In general, it is my blogging policy to NOT block comments, unless they are scam (i.e. useless content not related to the post, but pointing to dubious websites). As of lately I have added another condition to block comments: Insulting comments. And yes, in some cases my posts are designed to provoke – that is in the nature of the business – but I won’t engage into fruitless fights.

Embedding YouTube Videos In Your WordPress Theme

On April 29, 2011, in Professional Blogging, WordPress plugins, by Editor

In the “old days” embedding YouTube videos was only possible through incorporating Java code – as provided by YouTube – into your post. You had to do it in the HTML editing mode, and you didn’t dare to go back into the “Visual” editing mode. WordPress is at times highly allergic to implemented Java or HTML code and just removes it in Visual mode.
