There aren’t too many times anymore where I start reading a blog post or webpage about writing or writers and find myself reading something completely new and different. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t mean to say that I know everything there is to know about writing, or that there is nothing that anyone else [...]
Finding useful webhosting information is next to impossible. Most of the big, brand-name webhost companies out there offer very sizable pay to affiliates who refer people to their service. That means that almost every single comment on the entire Internet about which web hosting services are good and which web hosts are bad is tainted [...]
I got asked an interesting question. After answering the common "What do you do," question by saying that I’m a freelance writer, I got an unusual follow up question. "So, is that like a regular writer, writer, or is that like a technical writer." There are two unusual bits to that question. The first is [...]
Somewhere along the line I started reading the website Coding Horror, which is kind of ironic considering that I am a basic level programmer at best.

Clever multimedia, particularly lowest common denominator oriented videos, of course, is actually valuable thanks to “becoming [...]
A WordPress theme for writer is one that is plain, black & white, and has no “complex” graphics or SEO features? Do you even know any writers????
Do you ever wonder about the people who are new to your blog? I can’t help but wonder what it is like to come to Arctic Llama for the first time and read some of the articles. If readers arrive via search engine, then chances are they start by reading a specific post, one that [...]
I hate Makeuseof.com. I mean really, really, hate it. In an online world where 99% of websites that catalog and review online services are nothing more than thinly veneered shells that simply repost the manufacturer’s description with a two sentence praise or pan (usually praise), Makeuseof is one of those websites that actually takes the [...]
Just days after I went through the trouble of pointing everyone to d8search as a way to get improved date searching out of Google search results, Google updated the features they offer in their own native search.
