Blog Blues? Generosity Helps the Weary

Blogging eats time. Writing, image selection and photo prep are basics. I ache to have something pretty (well gorgeous actually), functional yet personable and still get to work with my awesome clients from time to time. Help is on the way. At least with the “pretty” part.
Jennifer Apple at Photoshop support shares concepts on design, functionality and links for templates & add-ons. Finally we have a favicon thanks to her clear simple explanation (and my Can-do staff person, Jane Patterson!).

Through Jennifer I discovered a link to the site of helpful God of the Blogging Universe, Paul Stamatiou. After hours of reading (Burp- scuze me!) you realize that this man is smart and enormously generous with his knowledge. Paul, if I ever meet you in person, forgive the bear hug.

Paul helps encourage “lurkers” to come forward to mutual benefit. (I’ll reveal Myself when I get some more TIME!) As suggested, we’re now registered with Technorati and are building our own Ping Configuration page.

I’ll stop here. Needless to say, the time-saving is all relative. Getting referred to these sites saved time in research. My time was spent reading high quality, relevant information presented simply. Gads. Look what time it is…

    Goodness, you ARE inspiring me! I keep meaning to start that blog, but the enormity of it all and the time commitment…a lot of those super beautiful blogs are peppered with ads (that’s how they have all that time to make it beautiful – they get paid for it – what a brilliant idea!) So, hats off to you and all the others who find time to make a beautiful blog – I’ll get there soon!

    Daniela,
    You’re too much! My blog is still far from beautiful, but I appreciate the sentiment and agree- There are some impressive sites out there. From what I read ads don’t bring in much money though, so why bother with the clutter.
