Happy New Year

This is my last post of 2011, and probably the most difficult to type, as I’m doing it on a borrowed netbook.

My computer finally gave up the ghost this morning, after 2-1/2 years of 16+ hours a day, 7 days a week abuse. I guess I can’t complain… Dell probably didn’t figure on that kind of use when they designed that laptop. The keyboard was worn naked long ago, so it’s a good thing I can touch-type.

I won’t have another computer ’til around Tues. or Wed. of next week, but I wanted to pop in and wish everyone a safe and happy New Year, and a very prosperous 2012.

To those that have stuck with me throughout the year, thank you. Since last month, you’re sticking by me and Lisa, my “partner in crime”.

Which reminds me…

Lisa, Happy New Year to you and yours, as well. Having you as a partner is the best thing that happened to me in 2011 and I’m sure we’re headed for bigger and better things together.

To the gang in the SEO Dojo, thanks to each of you, too! I’ve learned a lot of great stuff and had more than a little fun with you all. I’m looking forward to spending 2012 dissecting SEO techniques with you, even more.

Finally, to a bunch of my special e-friends (who I won’t embarrass by naming, ’cause you know who you are), thanks for believing in me, putting up with me and supporting me!

Happy New Year to you all!

Come and Get your Stocking Stuffer!

I can’t supply stocking stuffers for every one of my friends, followers and colleagues. But I can offer something to at least a few of you.

Somewhere on the 20 pages accessible from the top navigation bar of this site, there are three (3) clues, one on each of three different pages. Find all three clues, and you’re in for a treat.

And just to make it interesting, I’m going to print the clue in a different color. Maybe something like this.

There’s a URL, a price and a Discount Code. Find ‘em all, figure out what to do with ‘em, and you’ll be one of the winners.

You’d better hurry, though. only the first ten people to find all three clues and take the necessary action will get their stocking stuffer this year.

Merry Christmas! I hope each and every one of you has a wonderful Christmas holiday, surrounded by your friends and family! And I hope the lucky winners enjoy their gift!

It’s December… Time for a Little Philosophy

Every now and then, I like to post something that has nothing to do with SEO, IM or content strategy. Seems like December always turns out being when such whims strike me.

I sat down to write such a post this morning, when it suddenly dawned on me that I had already posted what I was typing once before. A little searching unearthed a post I did in December a few years ago, on another site.

So in the spirit of recycling, I decided it would be easier to run that post again here, rather than to write new one, rehashing the same stuff.

Santa Socrates - the Jolly Philosopher

Santa Socrates - the Jolly Philosopher

I recently updated my Last Will & Testament. As is typical, in the first paragraph, I stated that I was of sound mind and body. At least half of that was inaccurate, while the other half would probably be contested by a number of those that know me. Continue reading
