Interesting Sites Found Whilst in Recovery

The most impressive actor on television today. Considering what he has to pretend to be. If I had just one half of his knowledge, I’d be twice as smart as I am now. Wait. That doesn’t sound good does it?

The simplest website on the internet. I like it. Immensely.

For all you entrepreneurs out there who spend long nights determining the best image for your logo to match your business acumen. Instead of reverting to playing blogshares when it all gets too hard, trying reading and apply this great list at flying-solo.com.

Instead of getting hard-to-comprehend emails once a month, I can now read the topic or thread on tthe websstandardsgroup.org forum. Finally. Thank you.

Here’s another flyingsolo.com.au article with an important message for us who want to be noticed by our peers, mentors, and colleagues. This information is going to change a few areas of my own website and online visits.

Journalists love to get as much background information about you as possible.

List areas of expertise that you can comment on. You can also include a quote that may have already been used in the media to prove that you are an expert in this area.
You may also have an area for media releases that they can click on. Anytime you send out a release to the media, post it on your website.
You should also have a link to any articles that have been written about you or that you have written yourself and have appeared in print.
Also any reviews of products or services that have appeared in print.
You can also include a link to any e-books or special reports you may have written. Even a simple fact sheet – just one page with bullet points about your business is a good idea – something that they can print out.

Now let’s look at other elements, including the visuals, that you should supply.

Post .JPG images of you that can be downloaded, small and large files, also your company logo.
Rather than the stock standard head shot also include a creative photo as well. The more you can provide the better chances of having something appear in print.
If you have any footage of you for video streaming or any audio recordings of any media interviews you have done, they can also be loaded into your media room.

Here is an interesting article that will teach everyone a little more about “choice language” throughout a website, whether it be slang, jargon, appropriate to the industry the website pertains to, or just plain gobbledygook. As Sean says, “It’s elementary”, but not everyone realizes it.

The interesting issue I see hear is in the many myspace websites. The language used is either vulgar, incoherent or worse: SMS-speak. No respectable business is going to resort to using this language to sell a product. So why do we use it to sell ourselves? Standing out these days should be about content, information, linkage to some degree – but not about the speak-style.

Dave Pollard presents a great article regarding the change of the world, particularly to the lives of people upon this ball of mud. His four suggestions describe interesting ways that those of us that spend our time on the internet can learn, practice, teach and train others in the improving the world we live in – whether it be online or offline.

I like this theory. When we all manage to make both our internet’s, intra-net’s, and social-interaction a fluid interaction, our personal utopias will be discovered.

Of course, this will be never be perfect. We all strive for something better as new things come along. But that’s ok. Perfection requires maintenance.

Life happens. Just as long as we all give as much as we take, that’s all. I like this area of discussion. Will write more like this soon.
