The mainstream media has been talking about various demographic groups and who they are voting for and why in this Presidential primary election season. African Americans for Obama, women for Clinton, Evangelicals for Huckabee, a lot of indistinguishable generic white people for McCain. This post explains why the MSM are wrong

Occasionally I come across a candidate that has a hard time accepting that we decided not to hire them.
I call all candidates that were not selected after the interview process to let them know we went in another direction and that I wish them luck in there career pursuit. I follow up that call with a personal email. I want t

The nice thing about social media sites like Digg and Stumbleupon is that it is the masses that make the difference. They are entirely democratic, even if there be a party or two that sway their influence on the results every so often. Still it is fun using them and you are actually able to get to know some of the people as a result of their

A grab bag of subjects crammed into a single post. Consumerism,blogging tips, netiquette, parenting, salaciousness, nudity (not really but that is the #1 key word of all time), contests, prizes. This post has got it all. Marvelously compressed into a few paragraphs, ROTUS's philosophy of blogging and life.

Today Blogger announced it's new OpenID sign in system for comments. Blogger will once again allow links back to blogs outside it's own domain in comments on Blogger hosted blogs. The Blogger dashboard carried an apology and explanation today, although the explanation leaves an unanswered question. Why did Google delete the linkback field i

For my small blog, BloggingZoom is a great way to show off my content. But recently I saw a trend that I don't like. If it continues on this path, the integrity of the system will failed. Because BloggingZoom is still young, now is the time to do it correctly. I will propose to you a new way for some and maybe old for others. Me, that's how

Having recently witnessed a fellow expire before his very eyes, aristocratic adventurer Lord Likely is somewhat surprised to see the same fellow suddenly spring back to life.

He is slightly more surprised to see the same man advance upon him, demanding he let him feast on his lordship's brains.

In short: Lord Likely faces up to a terri

Has anyone else noticed how easy it is to have a submitted blogging zoom post go hot? It seems absurdly easy to me and perhaps even a little detrimental to blogging zoom itself. At this point (up until this submission) each and every one of the posts I have submitted has gone "hot". I'm not talking 2 or 3 posts but a fairly decent number.

I am proud to announce that this blog has been named Blog of the Day at Fuel My Blog . This only days after my other blog I’ll Never Forget The Day I Read A Book! was similarly honored. It makes no difference to me that new blogs are always chosen for this award or that there is another one coming along every day. I fear that I may be accus

WebmasterWorld administrator tedster has informed us that Google will be treating subdomains like they treat folders on a site. In short, he said, Matt Cutts said Google will roll out in a few weeks a new filter to make sure only two results of a domain (no matter subdomain or folder) will show up for a search.

What this means is that sit

I guess it is inevitable -- if you want to draw readers then you have to have a title that will grab readers attention. I'm not sure that Smokin' Hot MILF qualifies, but for the sake of curiosity, well let's just say that I'm willing to find out! But man, that Meat In Latino Fajitas sure was delicious. I sure hope there is not another mea

I'm starting a new project in an attempt to network with other bloggers and form a support system. All who join in will receive a free review and the opportunity to discover new blogs and be discovered.

Excerpt: How many directions can you see at once? Perhaps two or three. If you had a handful of people to assist you, in how many direct

Recently, while happening to post a comment on a friend's blog I happened to notice that Blogger.com blogs no longer allow me to identify myself with a URL while commenting. To me (and a lot of other bloggers), posting a comment on a Blogger.com blog has always been like jumping through an obstacle course. An

I have always identified with Charlie Brown. Somehow Charles Schulz had gotten into my head and put my life into his comic strip. Not surprisingly David Michaelis found this to be a common reaction to the Peanuts strip among many people that he talked with, in preparation for this book.
