By Robert Bravery on 2010/08/26 08:31 AM

In this series I have concentrated a lot on the actual skill of writing. But a big part of having your blog, website noticed is the actual site design. It matters not if your writing skills are top notch but your website sucks.

What do your readers think if you miss a day or two?

By Robert Bravery on 2010/08/25 08:22 AM

Wow, it’s been really hectic lately. From websites and programming deadlines to my dear family being sick. I’ve been burning the candle at three ends. As a result, I have not had opportunity to keep up with my own schedule of posting once a day.
