The Vista Nag Screen Solution

Two posts ago I talked about all of the nag screens and balloon tips that bothered me when I started Windows Vista. I’m happy to say that I was able to get rid of a lot of them.
While I still have a ways to go to get rid of some other stuff I don’t like, [...]

A Scavenger Hunt For Protected Posts

Several password protected posts will appear on this blog over the next few weeks. But instead of emailing the password to subscribers of my blog announcement list, I’m going to give it out a bit differently.
I want you to sign up for somebody else’s mailing list, and by doing so, you’ll get the password for [...]

Avoiding The Forum Minefields

I have mixed emotions about forums. I love helping people and forums are a great way to do so; however, the level of bad advice given on most forums is atrocious. As a result, I strictly limit my participation in most forums. Keep reading, though, if you want to know my “exceptions” — and to [...]

First, the [...]

The first is Dr. Mani. Yes, he has a last name — and thankfully has never gotten upset when I failed to remember it… But that’s [...]

168 Hour Special?

The previous post, which was password protected, offered my newest product at an extremely low price. The time period for that special ended about 25 minutes ago.
For the next 168 hours or so, I’m going to be offering the recording and transcript of a 90 minute call that Willie Crawford and I did on computer [...]

The “dofollow” Movement

Aaron Anderson has decided to stop using “nofollow” tags on blog comments. You got it right, Aaron.
“Nofollow” is not natural. The Internet, also known as the World Wide Web, is just that: a web. Interconnected. It is *SUPPOSED* to have links.
Page rank bleed? Only Google cares. I don’t build my pages for Larry and Sergei; [...]
