Blogging

Another blogger fired, this one in the beauty industry and in NYC. The predictable part of this story is that good things (sometimes) happen to risk takers like Nadine Haobsh (Jolie).

I decided to check in on Ellen Simonetti, our favorite fired blogger. From the looks of referring web pages, it looks like Queen of the Sky is doing better than her former employer.

It’s been a tough couple of days, mostly because I let down a lot of people who I care about and respect. To all you would-be bloggers out there: even if you truly are "just being funny" or "don’t really mean it", think before you write. And definitely don’t write about your industry: things will absolutely be taken out of context or interpreted incorrectly, and that’s just not fun for anybody.

Although I’ve mentioned Robin Good’s most excellent RSS Submission Site list before, it is worth repeating. Robin’s list continues to grow, there are currently 125 ways to publicize your blog.  In Washington, DC it is a hot summer. I’ve got my work cut out for me but am committed to getting involved with as many of these as possible…

Is anyone else in Maryland/Washington, DC having trouble with Comcast Internet access?

Susannah Gardner has written a good overview of blogging providers.  A great comparison chart is also included. 

Several comments take Gardner to task though for forgetting to mention CMS systems Scoop and Drupal. Several also thought that the list and article was not advanced enough. Guess I’m still a newbie but I found the overview helpful.

All of this comes from LexBlog that got it from problogger.
