What’s even more interesting is not that this… [Continue Reading]
This is a guest post by Ari Herzog. I confess guilt. When I recently shared how to write a blog post, I specified the noun, “post.” That was wrong of me. I should have echoed Phil Gerbyshak and specified the noun, “article,” as in, how to write a blog article. Are we ignoramuses for interchanging… [Continue Reading]

Are We Turning into Social Media Snobs?
Social media and blogging go hand in hand.
