My latest post at Inc.Com – on Smart Blogging Strategies

Start Up

After a recent post about the value of blogging, I got a few requests to go deeper into strategies for maximizing the effectiveness of blogging.

Howard…going down for upgrades

Yes, some major work going on here, and it may be a few days before there are any more posts. But the technical difficulties? That would be me, and not my site. I’m getting my septum straightened, and my tonsils and adenoids out, tomorrow morning, 7/16.

So, for the next few days, fewer posts, fewer tweets and IMs, definitely no phone calls, and little to no email. Think positively about Me 2.0. See you soon.

UPDATE: I made it through fine. Throat hurts a lot, but considering everything I’m doing well.

Some good discussion over there in the comments, too.
