Ready to Get Naked?
I’m talking about your CSS. April 9th (Wednesday) is CSS Naked Day, when hundreds, maybe thousands, of bloggers will “go naked” by stripping off all CSS styles for one day:
Dustin Diaz wanted to give the web world an opportunity to remind everyone of the benefits of CSS web page design. By removing the stylesheet for the day, the world would see naked web pages, giving a little more appreciation for the skills of web page designers. - from Lorelle’s announcement
Apparently, this is the third year of CSS Naked Day. I’ll be joining in, stripping this and my other blog on Wednesday.

You’ll have to work on publicizing your blog, though- and if you want to really earn money, you’ll need a healthy dose of good marketing techniques.
What’s easier? Blogging for someone else. Many of the big blog networks are always on the lookout for new bloggers, and they’ll usually take care of the marketing side of things. Here’s where to find the best blogging jobs: keep reading »

Is Entrecard worth it?
At a recent meeting discussing the redesign of this blog, my partner turned to me and asked, “Are you keeping Entrecard?”
A fair question, and something we ask of every element we place on our blogs. Some widgets work, some don’t. Some ads perform better than others. And so I had to stop and ask myself, is Entrecard working for me?
Notorious list-maker that I am, I drew up a list: keep reading »

Add a Shop to your Blog with PopShops
I mentioned PopShops in my last post, when I pointed to my Blogger’s Bookstore, and now I want to talk a little bit more about the service. The simplest definition of a PopShop is an affiliate store builder. That’s right: you feature products from retailers you’re affiliated with, and get paid when you make a sale through your site or blog. keep reading »

Best Books for Bloggers
Inspired by the popularity of my last post, 10 Gifts for Bloggers, I’ve put together Blogger’s Bookstore: my picks of the best books for bloggers!
