Well, we made it through Hurricane Milton. And so did our house. The neighborhood looked like a warzone. Trees down everywhere. Even our own property had one of our largest oak trees go down and we were incredibly lucky that it didn’t fall on the house. The morning after, though, we went to work. I…
All last week, the WordPress world was “hot to trot” over this whole battle between Matt (the founder of WordPress) and WP Engine (the popular web host). And, I’m going to talk about it a bit more. But… I also know that this stuff might seem irrelevant and like “inside baseball” to a lot of…
Well, as last week drew to a close, the WordPress community got all hot and bothered over some comments by Matt Mullenweg (the titular founder of WordPress) that took place at Wordcamp. So, I gotta talk about that. 😇 It isn’t the first time he sparked something…. and it probably won’t be the last. So,…
This week, the big WordCamp US event will be taking place in Portland, OR. I was originally on the docket to attend the event. But, decided a couple weeks ago not to bother. As the week goes on, we’ll see if I wish I was there. 😜 In the end, the sessions there seemed rather…
Funny, so I’m writing that title for this week’s issue and I realize it comes off as boring. Not much screams “yawn” more than talking about “systems”. 😜 But, it is SUCH as important topic on so many levels. And something I’ve definitely been spending some time on internally here. So, figured I’d talk about…
For all of my U.S. subscribers, Happy Labor Day. Hope you enjoy the day. I know a lot of you probably have the day off. My wife does. But me? Yeah, I’m laboring. 😜 So, let’s just dive right in, shall we? Featured This Week How To Increase Your Email Open Rates And Get Your…
Welcome to a new week…. and issue #493 of this newsletter. Little crazy when you think about it. When I started this newsletter (under a different name), I never really thought about the fact that one day I’d be writing my 500th issue. And yet, we’re getting close to that point. Anyhoo… This last week,…
Well, I’m a tad later than normal pushing out this week’s newsletter. But hey! Least it is still Monday, right? 😇 This issue will be a wee bit nerdy. Last week, I went ahead and (mostly) finished up and launched the new video library at the Blog Marketing Academy. It is a big reorganization of…
Good morning and happy Monday. 😇 Around here, all the kids are going back to school today. Which means the “cheese wagons” will be out in force. 😂 But, since my kids are homeschooled, not a lot changes on this end. Saturday, we went to a local theater to watch my daughter play the role…
Hello my friends. Looking like a fun start to the week, with a tropical storm just buzzing by my house and the markets being pretty choppy out there. Lots of noise out there. Lots of potential distractions. Frankly, that’s the nature of the times we’re in right now. But… Focus is how you win. Focus…
