What are the ethics of sponsored posts?

blog sponsored post guest without disclaimer? what's the ethical high road?

Does NewsGator Online support sophisticated search patterns?

September 8, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Wordpress Help / No Comments

Ever since you recommended it at a conference a while back, I’ve been a big fan of NewsGator Online as my RSS reader. As you said, being able to catch up on my feeds from any Web browser anywhere in the world is darn convenient. However, there’s a dark cloud: I have been using various “smart searches” to keep track of our company, our competitors, my wife, etc., and find that I get the same match again and again in the reader. Is there some way I can create a more sophisticated search?

I heard that eBay’s announced a new blogging tool, and I want to use it, because, well, I think it can help drive traffic to my eBay store and would be a fun additional marketing tool too. Not really too sure about blogging in general, actually, but it seems like it’d be cool and goodness knows, my kids have been talking about blogs and blogging for years now!

June 3, 2006 / Dave Taylor / Wordpress Help / 4 Comments

I’ve been using SixApart’s Typepad blogging system for a few months with good results, and it’s now time for me to stop being “something”.typepad.com and use my own domain instead. I skimmed some of the tutorials on the Typepad site, but they’re baffling. Can you help me out?
