5320 readersI discovered this week that Copyblogger has strong fans among the 2-year-old set. While working on the Wrap Thursday morning and clicking through posts on the homepage, my daughter Sydney became increasingly excited as I scrolled up from the bottom: “Look at that boy!” “Ice cream!!” “Flower!!!” Makes me wonder if we’ve done proper SEO

3553 readersI don’t mean to complain because I’m happy to have this gig, but honestly it’s kind of a rip-off that I do all this work on this wrapup and then realize that it’s going to run on the same day as the apocalypse. Although I have to admit that I’ve been suspecting as much ever
6329 readersI always find myself having to explain what it means to have “internet relationships.” Last month, I went to South by Southwest. Next month, I’m going to Blogworld (I’m actually presenting at Blogworld, but sadly don’t have enough people “interested” on my event page yet — hint, hint). I go to these events, and I
