There are dozens if not hundreds of reason to choose WordPress, and they can vary from one person to the next depending on ones needs. WordPress is ideal for small businesses because amongst many other reasons, it’s free and easy to use.

Title: WordPress Help Sheet Wallpaper



I use custom wallpapers to help me with a lot of information I need on a daily basis, and can be very helpful with some hard to remember information. Some call it a cheat sheet, which is what it is, without the cheating of course.

A great source for different desktop wallpaper help sheets is Quickly Code, which realeased one for WordPress back in May 2010.

Title: Create a Great Headline

Guest post by DeuceGroup.com


Most people often use the title of an article or blog post to determine if they will read it or not, so it can make the difference between getting people interested in your content or just making them skip it.

Obviously you don’t want to create irrelevant titles just to get their attention and betray their trust with something totally unrelated.

I came across a great post written by Latoya Hackett over at the Entrepreneur Diva, which is one of the blogs I am subscribed to in my RSS reader. Basically the post, titled “15 Headline Templates That Drive Herds of Traffic”, is giving you 15 different ready made headlines that just need to have the keywords filled to make them apply to your subject.

The best part is that once you start looking at them, you realize that a lot of the popular articles you may have stopped to look at previously have one of those headlines.

Click here to see them at the original post.

Months in the making, finally on this past Thursday the official release happened. We upgraded right away as soon as it was available, and haven’t had any problems.

We welcome the new look, and can’t wait to go through all the new features.

Let me know if you upgraded and what you think?

Title: 250 Posts Later



Over a year later, we finally reached 250 posts, should be 365 but because we got hacked and were down for a few months, we are at 250 and going strong.

When we first started on May 11th 2009, we weren’t sure how this concept would work, and we still don’t have an identity, or logo but we can say the feedback has been almost always positive, and the fan base is continuing to grow.

We hope to have our brand identified in the near future and add some new features to the website to make it even more interactive, which is where most of the web is heading, if not already there.

Thanks to all our visitors,  supporters and fans.

Title: Auto Blogging



Although we don’t necessarily agree with auto blogging, which is basically stealing other people’s content and automatically posting it on your website, it is more and more popular for people to try and make money this way.

I’m pretty sure all other things being equal, that a blog with normal posts will make more money versus a blog with automatic posts, however it does take a lot more effort to create thoses posts.

You need the personal touch in a blog to keep your readers, if your goal is just to have as much content as possible to attract quick visits than auto blogging can do that, but I rather invest my time into less websites with more quality.

What are your thoughts on auto blogging?
