Blog Marketing Ideas

Do you remember the baseball movie with Kevin Kostner called “Field of Dreams”?  The phrase – “If you build it they will come”  – may work for baseball fields in the middle of nowhere but it does NOT work for a blog.  You have to do some level of marketing.  Buzzfuse offers a unique marketing [...]

North and South Dakota and Wyoming Where Are You?

I use amung.us on my blow to show what posts people are currently viewing and where they come from… that is what this icon at the bottom of the pages does.  If you click on it and go to the MAPS you will notice that there is a large gap of missing stars in the continental US where [...]
