In true chain-blogging style I’ve been tagged by Paulski over at Northsouthmedia for the’ 7 Things You Didin’t Know About Me’  post. I’m not normally one for doing these things and forwarding them on BUT as Ryan says, I’ll do anything for a link! Well, it was something along those lines anyway…

The rules are:

• Link to your original tagger(s) and list these rules in your post. (see above)
• Share seven facts about yourself in the post. (see below)
• Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs. (see below)
• Let them know they’ve been tagged. (you’ll just have to trust trackbacks and such)
• Remind them if they don’t post withing 24 hours they’re kitten will run away Read more…

Much has been written on the importance of maintaining a professional online reputation for yourself or your company (especially after the debacle that was the Ryanair respose to Jason Roe’s blog post the other week).  On a simple level (as this is not what this post is about) it is generally advised to maintain a positive attitude to critisicm and to acknowledge that a comment has been made in the first place.

It’s called Legacy Locker and allows you to store passwords for all your online accounts with the idea that they will be released on your death to a person of your choosing.  Read more…

I started off making squidoo lenses during my work experience at PoLR. I had never heard of this site before but it turns out it’s actually quite addictive and useful. The beauty of it is you can post anything about everything. It’s just about sharing what you know. Well I didn’t feel I knew anything spectacular so I ended up writing about random topics. These lenses actually turned out to be relatively interesting, believe it or not! There are certain tips though that are useful to know in order for your squidoo lens to be a success. Read more…

If you run a blog you will know exactly what I am referring to when I say the phrase blog-block…it’s like writer’s block but with blogging. It happens to us all and can cause a lot of stress as the more you try the stronger the block becomes.

Twitter is the next big thing. I’ve heard that all through last year and even saw a few blogs about it being dead before it ever got started. Previously, with the arrival of Facebook, users got accustomed to sharing information such as updates, photos and all sorts with their friends but are they ready for Twitter and more importantly do they know what to do with it?
