Blogger’s, Blogging about Blogging is Boring Thursday, October 4th, 2007

No, seriously just a quick update about the site changes.

At the top of the page is the most 3 recent posts for each of the three sites I author/publish content on. This is pulled in dynamically using each sites’s RSS feed. If you like my content then subscribe to my RSS feed.

A quick thank you to Chris Bowes (www.contralogic.com) who figured out how to do the RSS as you see it (in the header). I came up with the idea, but Chris figured out how to do it. Everyone needs a Chris in their life.

Why do I publish on 3 sites. Well I have a lot to say:-

On www.colindiponio.com I talk about things in technology that interest me on the given day. Example: new products or services, or more helpful things like the problems I have solved alongside some tech commentary from someone knee deep in it.

The second site: www.481.co.uk is aimed at helping small business use and understand technology. So it will be very focused on things like Servers, Applications, Security, Productivity and promoting my on-site Consultancy and Support services.

The third site: www.screencastingnow.com contains only technology Screencasts. I like Screencasting and sometimes my Screencasts are buried with the hundreds of other posts on this site. So now they have their own site with their own easy to navigate categories.

This whole web thing is just one big experiment but I would rather be in it contributing than on the sidelines watching it.

All the sites have one thing in common, sharing knowledge.

Small Business Tip: I run a small business and have limited resources (read money) for marketing and promoting my services. Search Engines are the new Yellow Pages and I can compete on a level playing field with any of my competitors. I can do this because I use what I do on the web to target new business and it works.

Call me on 01606-841587 if you want to talk to someone who understands how all this “Web 2.0″ thing can be used in a small entrepreneurial business.
