One of the things I like best about blogging is the connections and relationships that you make by participating in blogs. That is one of the main reasons I started blogging to begin with, I wanted to make connections and learn from others. It can be easy to become discouraged when you run a blog, [...]

Did you see what I did with the title? Instead of risky business, I called it risky blogging. I know you know this, but because I love the sound of my own voice (or my fingers tapping on the keyboard), but I am pretty clever when it comes to titles. Not only [...]

I love telling. It’s easy. You should be an organic blogger. It’s not hard. Just do it. End post.
Showing is hard and there are several levels that I imagine exist. Showing is something I have struggled with on Epiblogger. Specifically, because I am essentially trying to sell the [...]

Are you tired of being sold garbage? Or are you just tired of being sold? I am. Or at least, I am tired of being sold the same old way and it continues to surprise me how slow companies are to change. We all want to make money and be prosperous, [...]

Even the easiest of things, walking down the pavement for instance, tax my day. I live in the UK, you’re probably well aware that as a nation we drive on the left [...]

I wish people paid me to come up with with pithy and terrible slogans like The Looking In Advantage. The only problem is that it is both terrible and a tad obscure. I imagine that’s why I haven’t been hired to do so. Vivien and I were chatting last week and we [...]

This is absolutely the worst moment that I should be blogging. I have had a terrible, stressful week. I had hopes of a big payoff—a house for me and my wife. However, all the stress was for nothing more than a learning experience. We did not get the house. So [...]

I hate titles. Okay, I don’t hate them. I am extremely apathetic towards titles. Ever since I was a younger I never cared about titles, especially with music. I can’t even tell you the titles of some of my favourite songs. I know it’s track 8, but I have no [...]
