In my recent book “50 Biggest Website Mistakes” that I’ve just launched with Bret Ridgway, we talk about problems with website images one of them being website images being the wrong size and taking forever to load.

If you’ve run into that issue you’ll appreciate this video. If you’d like to find out more about the book visit http://50BiggestWebsiteMistakes.com

In this video I show you how to use Shrink-O-Matic which is a free application you can download obviously I receive no commission for promoting it I simple think it is a good application you’ll find useful.

I was surprised to get a Google Alert this evening stating that I had made Red Hot Copy’s 50 Coolest Marketers list. This is quite an honor for me to be recognized along with many of friends and several marketers I look up too. Thanks Lorrie for the honor of being on your 2009 list!

If you are unsure of what a Google alert is let me explain. This is a service that Google is working on it is currently still in beta but you can visit the url http://www.google.com/alerts.

When you get there you’ll see a form, simply enter the search term you are wanting “alerted” about the type of results you want for that search term such as news, blogs, videos, etc. I usually select comprehensive to include all types. select a couple other options as well as how you want it delivered either as a feed or sent to an email address I prefer to have mine sent to an email so that any new Alerts hit my in box. I have several set up for things I want to keep up on but I also have an alert set up for my name. If you don’t have one set up I’d suggest at least creating an alert for your name.

It’s pretty interesting to see how quick I receive an alert after I make a blog post. It’s also really cool when you get an alert like I got today.

I think the the “50 Coolest” list thing is a pretty cool idea. If you are reading this leave me a comment about a Blog you think is cool when I get the results i’ll post them in my own 50 coolest list! so go ahead leave your nominee in the comments below.

Ok if you are planning to make MAJOR changes in your blog allow plenty of time LOL.

First attempt didn’t go as well as I had hoped so I rolled back for now. This blog has been online for 4 years now and with a lot of plugins and modifications in the past there are a lot of things to consider when moving or making major modifications.

So for now this blog will reside in its current location until I chunk out enough time to do the necessary testing before moving it.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Isn’t it always good to earn a little extra cash?

Especially this time of year with higher heat bills and holiday shopping a few extra dollars always comes in handy!

It’s actually pretty easy to do, you just find a product you can sign up for as an affiliate and promote it to your subscriber list or post a banner on your website or blog.
