I have just discovered Squidoo and HubPages. Wow. Talk about making it easy to publish content online.
For those of you who haven’t seen these sites before, they basically offer you free registration and then let you create endless one-page ‘lenses’ or ‘hubs’ about a niche topic. They also offer a number of different ‘modules’ that [...]

Yesterday I created my first niche website! It’s still a work in progress, but I am determined to work on it and give it a go - and I’ll let you know how it runs!
I have been on a big learning curve over the last few weeks, and I’ve only just scratched the surface of [...]

I’d like to introduce you all to a fantastic example of a professional blogger and internet entrepreneur - Yaro Starak. When embarking on my journey to make a living online, I quickly came across his blog entrepreneurs-journey.com.
What made me do a double-take is that I used to work for Yaro when he ran BetterEdit.com! I [...]

I just wanted to bring your attention to a fantastic series of posts over at Problogger.

I put an image in one of my blogs’ sidebar yesterday, and it came out aligned to the left - which looked a bit naff.
I tried basic html - where you enclose what you want centred in <center> </center> tags - but that didn’t work!
After a bit of research, I found two ways of overcoming [...]

Now, pretty much the first thing you have to do once you decide to get a blog up and running is find a host. “But I can just use a free account at Blogger - why should I pay for my own hosting??”
Easy - control. And traffic.
While researching starting my first blog, I was quickly [...]

As I mention in my About page, I have no proper IT training. Everything I’ve learned over the years has been through my own haphazard process of trial-and-error. Many hours have been spent trying to get the html code just right, get the picture in just the right place etc.
However, in the past year, I [...]

You know when you load a URL and there is a little image in the address bar? Have you ever wondered how that gets there, and how you could have one for your page? Wonder no more!
