Bloggy bits + announcing Quick hits: CEO blogs, brand & yoga

NOVEMBER 18, 2004

VOL 4, ISSUE 30

ISSN 1550-1787

No time for a regular issue of the newsletter this week. But here are some bloggy bits...

What I learned about authentic brand from a yoga guru (Baron Baptiste)

It's free, it's viral, it's Seth Godin's The Bootstrapper's Bible (yup, a fre*e download)

More on blog stats from Ad-Tech (relevant if you've thought about advertising on blogs)

How do I subscribe to debbie's blog?
The first thing you need is an RSS newsreader or news aggregator.

Confused... or wary of RSS? Read this article: What is RSS and why should I care?

Select a newsreader to download & install
Commonly used newsreaders are NewsGator, Feedreader, Pluck and Bloglines.

I recommend you download a free trial of NewsGator. It works seamlessly with Outlook. Or try Bloglines, a Web-based RSS reader that a lot of folks use.

Many newsreaders are free. It doesn't really matter which one you choose. Just pick one to get started. You can always switch to another later.

Other choices for newsreaders
Are you on a Mac or use an email client like Eudora? Follow this link for other suggested newsreaders.

After you've installed a newsreader
Right-click the orange RSS icon to subscribe to my blog. You will be automatically alerted every time I add a new posting or entry.

Er, what is RSS?
RSS is a new way to publish and distribute content on the Web without using email.

That's one of the key benefits of subscribing to blogs or other news feeds via RSS.

Benefits for readers
You don't have to worry about email filters blocking your subscription to a favorite ezine, for example.

You can read blogs you subscribe to at your leisure... and when it's convenient.

Benefits for publishers
You can publish instantly with an RSS feed. RSS lets you sidestep the email delivery problem caused by overflowing inboxes and spam filters.

You no longer have to worry whether your e-newsletter has landed in a subscriber's junk folder.

Why should I subscribe to debbie's blog?
In my blog you'll find many of the links to free resources and downloads that used to appear WordBiz Report.

Think of it as an adjunct to my e-newsletter. More news, more useful nuggets... between regular issues of WBR.
