Keeping track of blogs
July 31st, 2009, 19 Comments
Well, in his latest training webinar last night, Alex encouraged us very strongly to view and comment upon our fellow students’ blogs. If you’re finding it difficult to keep track of all of the blogs you’re interested in, you may find this video useful.
It’s my first and I’m happy to admit that it’s a little [...]
Time to move up a gear …
July 30th, 2009, 3 Comments
Tonight sees the next live session with Alex Jeffreys as part of his Marketing With Alex 2.0 training program. This session will be all about social media, and frankly, I can’t wait for this.
I like to think that, as a fully qualified “old git”, I am reasonably well up on the landscape of the internet. [...]
Facebook: how it all started (or did it ?)
July 28th, 2009, 1 Comment
Folks, whilst I think of this, you may want to check out this page on the BBC’s web site. They are serialising The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich as their Book Of The Week – this details the controversial and apparently highly contested origins of the social networking site Facebook.
As a newb to Facebook, I [...]
Today’s theme: themes.
July 27th, 2009, 4 Comments
The way that rog-blog used to look was simply down to the fact that once I’d set it up, I used the “That’ll do” principle. This involved a quick visit to Wordpress’s themes page and looking for something that I liked. I saw the Lightword theme and decided, “That’ll do”.
But I always knew that sooner [...]
Small victories taste sweet !

What is it about Thursdays these days ?
Yesterday was crazy, rather like Thursday last week. I won’t bore you with the particular details of why I was so busy, but suffice it to say that a load of “stuff” came up that needed to be dealt with immediately. Naturally, that squeezed the rest of the [...]
Feedburner – get blog posts by email
July 22nd, 2009, 2 Comments
Did anybody spot the difference in the look of rog-blog in the last couple of days or so ?
If you haven’t noticed, I’m referring to the box in the sidebar to the right. I’ve signed up with Feedburner, which is a part of Google. (How did we ever manage without them ?)
Feedburner is a nifty [...]
Ah gee, shucks !

Folks, I hope that those that know me personally would tell you that I’m a modest kind of guy. I really don’t like blowing my own trumpet about my achievements.
But today, I’m going to make an exception.
I’ve already written that I am totally stunned by the quality of the blogs being produced by my fellow-students [...]
Facebook – it’s fantastic, but …

Folks, a quick “extra” post tonight …
As a member of Alex Jeffreys’ Marketing With Alex 2.0 coaching program, I’m very lucky in being able to connect with lots of people like me that are taking advantage of the fast-track that’s Alex’s coaching provides. One of the channels we’re using to connect is Facebook.
Now, I have [...]
Change of plan !
July 20th, 2009, No Comments
Hi – today, I had intended to post a (hopefully) useful video showing how I manage and keep up to speed with blogs.
This reflects my excitement about the world of blogging, because until recently, it was a phenomenon that had largely passed me by.
And I will post that video … just as soon as I [...]
Are you a TOTAL nerd or what ?
July 18th, 2009, 1 Comment
Well, in contrast to yesterday’s entry, this is going to be brief.
I have been spending some time on my MarketingWithAlex studies today, and I have been experimenting with some video for an upcoming blog entry. I haven’t quite got the hang of it yet, but I hope to have something to look at soon.
Meantime, in [...]
