Blogging advice

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It looks like I’m going to be meeting with someone who runs a website for a small not for profit lobbying group next week so that she can pick my brain about blogging. I’ve already given her a bunch of links and a few articles about blogging, but I figured I’d throw it open to suggestions. If you were going to talk to someone about why their organization shoud (or shouldn’t?) start blogging, and how they should do it, what would be the key points you’d want to make sure they knew, or the key ideas that are floating around online that you would point them to?

I’m looking forward to your ideas.

    No really, I’m going to be here, probably for a few hours, some time this weekend. I’m going to get to the bottom of that USB adapter issue, as well as the problems I’m having installing Norton to the file server. This way I can work on both problems without interfering with anyone else’s ability…

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    One nice thing that I think is going to come out of using Postini here at work is that people are going to see just how much spam they actually get! Recently, some of my users have been complaining, rather loudly, about the amount of spam hitting their inbox, and complaining that our ISP must…

    Movable Type version 3.14, in which SixApart try to lessen the server load caused by comment spam. Autoruns 6.1 Trillian 3.0, which I’ve been using for a couple of days and like, as always. If you’re running three different IM clients, you should think about trying it out. You’ll lose some of the more advanced…

    An interesting article and discussion over at PocketPC Thoughts about all the places that don’t allow cameras, for various reasons, and what people who still want to be able to take their cell phones and/or PDA’s with them are going to be running in to. Personally I think there are going to be more and…

  • Comment trolls

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Here’s what I don’t get. Everyone gets the occasional stupid, downright offensive comment, right? Why then do some bloggers make such a big deal over them? Why do they engage these people in an argument, or publicly expose their IP address or whatever other information they can get hold of? What purpose does it really…

  • Cloudflare Enters the AI Data-scraping Fray

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    As I read the post, I found it most interesting that so many customers have made it clear to Cloudflare that they have no interest in letting AI tools use their website content to train large language models. I hadn’t given it much thought, but I also don’t run ads or use my blogs as a side hustle like many others do. It’s easy for me to be uncaring about whether some information I share is being used to respond to someone’s AI prompts without linking to the site. I might feel differently if I depended on traffic to make this endeavor profitable.
