5 Lessons I Have Learned About Blogging

August 25, 2014 by Paul Salmon

When I started blogging in June 2007 I really didn’t know how to manage a blog or even how long I can keep writing blog entries. Like many people, I tend to start something that interests me at the time, but then get bored and move onto something else. With that thinking, I started using Blogger since it required no financial commitment, just time. After a year, I discovered that I did like to manage a blog, so I switched to a self-hosted WordPress blog, and haven’t looked back.

Over the past seven years of managing this blog I have learned many lessons, and have experienced many facets of not only blogging but websites, in general. I have made mistakes, and learned from those mistakes, but have also enjoyed a few successes. I have blogged about both the mistakes I have made and the successes I have achieved, so now I feel I should give an update on the lessons I have learned about blogging.

Use of Color and its Importance While Designing Websites

July 9, 2014 by Guest Blogger

Often a major question that is faced by the designers while designing a website is about the choice of a particular color that will suit the identity of the brand and the niche of the website. The choice of a wrong color for a website might prove to be disastrous as a color can have a negative impact on the psyche of the readers. It is imperative to say that color communicates more than the words that are published on a website.

Prior to deciding on the color scheme, you need to consider the profile of the target audience, the nature of the services that are offered by the website, and most importantly, the aim of the site.

Why I am Changing My Guest Posting Strategy

I recently reduced the number of guest posts I accepted on my blog – almost to the point where I stopped accepting guest posts entirely. Guest posts have turned into an issue recently after Matt Cutts began taking action against sites that accepted guest posts. The guest posting situation has caused me to review my guest post situation for Technically Easy – should I continue to accept guest posts, or should I stop altogether.

After some thought I have decided to continue to accept guest posts, but have modified Technically Easy’s guest posting guidelines to eliminate some of the guest posts that I don’t believe are high-quality.

The Guest Post Battleground

April 2, 2014March 24, 2014 by Paul Salmon

On March 19th, Matt Cutts announced that Google took action against a large guest blog network. It didn’t take long for people to figure out it was MyBlogGuest – a popular site for writing and publishing guest blog posts. Ann Smarty, the found and owner of MyBlogGuest, confirmed Google’s action against her site. The proof was that entering “MyBlogGuest” in Google didn’t have her site in the results.

Matt Cutts had talked about Google taking action against guest posting a few weeks back, but that they moved so quickly and so fiercely against the guest posting network was still a shock for most people. The penalizing of MyBlogGuest, as many of Google’s actions, has divided the blogging community, with some speaking out against the penalty, while others thought MyBlogGuest had it coming.

Once the first shock was just settling among bloggers, Google decided take action against the blogs that participated in using the MyBlogGuest service.
