  Copyblogger Weekly Wrap: Week of May 2, 2011

  4343 readersThe other day while out riding my bike, I was accosted by three turkeys. I’m not kidding. The turkeys were crossing the road, and I was screaming down a hill at them. I hit the brakes but they didn’t flinch at all — and then, they advanced menacingly. I was able to make an initial

  Copyblogger Weekly Wrap: Week of April 4, 2011

  5623 readersA week ago yesterday, this post ran here on Copyblogger, all about how I’m actually a woman. Not coincidentally, a week ago yesterday was also April 1st, widely known as April Fool’s Day. So, the whole thing was the drunken brainchild of me and James Chartrand, who actually did make that revelation for real. (In

  Johnny’s Copyblogger Wrap-Up: Week of April 19, 2010

  1567 readersIf you read Copyblogger and dream of striking out on your own, you need to know that independent business isn’t always good. Bad things do happen. For instance, I’m writing this in a bookstore cafe. Two tables down from me, there’s a guy with his headphones on belting out “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon. (You’re

  6194 readersI can’t believe I missed my anniversary. Not my wedding anniversary, of course — we know from stand-up comedians that men never forget those — but rather my anniversary as writer of the Copyblogger Weekly Wrap. The first Wrap ran on March 27 of last year. With the exception of the time I got fired

  5465 readersI’m just now getting around to booking my flight and hotel for South by Southwest, but I’m excited to be doing it at all because it’s one of the best networking events of the year. And by “networking,” I of course mean eating giant cupcakes, visiting funky coffee shops, and somehow sending Pace Smith into

  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

  2743 readersMy birthday was on Wednesday (I turned 17 and my dad says I can drive his car to the prom – SCORE!), and I got about fifty billion of those little Facebook notifications of people writing on my wall to say Happy Birthday. Got a ton of tweets saying the same. And now I think

  2827 readersI’ve been hard at work this week on Profitable Idealism, my new venture with Pace Smith, who coincidentally wrote Thursday’s post below. It’s all about combining altruistic, selfless motives with business aims, and so naturally it got me thinking about how I can help the Copyblogger community while making tons of money doing so. So

  4436 readersThis week, I went to Target, bought a $30 desk, built a stand that would raise it 18 inches in the air, stuck my in-laws’ unused treadmill under it, and made myself a walking desk. (I know the monitor needs to move up. You’re looking at the 1.0 iteration.) Yes, I know it’s a weird

  3160 readersLast week, I was in Austin, Texas for the South by Southwest conference. Which meant that I did absolutely no conferencing and instead just hung out with people and caught up with both old and new friends. One of those old friends was Copyblogger founder Brian Clark, who told me he’d received the Copyblogger weekly
