Site Redesign is Complete
It’s safe to say every blogger gets tired of their theme after awhile. For me, that time period is about 24 months. My last theme certainly served its purpose having lasted over 4 years, but I’m now beyond tired of looking at it and it was time for a change. So, I started a redesign a few weeks ago and tonight marks the completion of that process. As you can tell, the new design ties in branding for my various online projects – ESM Exec Designs, Geek Estate, myKRO.org, and Oh Hey World. Thank you to Brandon Matson at BizGarden.net for all the hard work he put into the design and development of this site. We’re … Continue reading
My Blog is Undergoing a Facelift
This blog design by Cory Miller has served me well for the past 4 years, but it’s time for a total facelift. Site redesign in process…forgive the errors over the next couple hours. And leave a comment here with whatever bugs you find if you wish.
The Best Community Builder on the Web…
…is Fred Wilson. Case in point – 357 comments on this post as of right now (published yesterday). The vibrant community he has built at A VC is DAMN impressive.
The Importance of Investing in Your Writing Ability
I highly recommend reading Fred Wilson’s post about writing. Particularly in a time where everyone is producing some sort of online content on a daily basis, I firmly believe that great writing is the best way to stand out from the online pack and advance your career. Anyone can write crap, and there is certainly a LOT of crap on the internet, but great writers are extremely RARE. I happen to know a few of them very well – Diane Tuman, Kris Berg, and Sloane Berrent being at the top of the list. Want to be as good as they are? Get your butt in your chair and start the quest for reaching 10,000 hours of writing … Continue reading
Disqus Rocks
I’ve been using disqus on Geek Estate Blog for a few years now, and love the email moderation feature in particular. No clue why it took me so long to install disqus comments on this blog, but I the wait is over (for those of you who have been waiting).
An End of an Era
Congrats to Rudy for a fantastic 4 year run at Trulia. With David & myself having already moved on our respective roles at Zillow and now Rudy from Trulia, it seems like an end of an era… The photo above was taken in 2008 at Javier’s in Orange County. If I remember correctly, that trip to Orange County was also the first time I met Jim Marks (who I now work for) in person.
Want to Work Online from Anywhere and Make Money?
Everyone I talk to wants to work remotely and make money online. It’s the dream job. Blogging is one potential avenue to explore to help you accomplish that. If you’re in that camp of wanting to be location independent and thinking about starting a blog, head over and read about the million dollar blog project. The goal is to produce a blog that makes a million dollars — and IS NOT about making money online (a topic already written about far too much). Bottom line — building a profitable blog is doable. It requires a lot of time and work. And it requires execution, which is where most fail. But I’m sure Corbett and his … Continue reading
