Rethinking / Refocusing
I read a couple blog posts over the last few weeks that have me thinking. The first was written by a pretty successful blogger who writes on the topic of professional blogging. His point was not to look at the “A List” bloggers for inspiration or ideas on how to make money on your blog. [...]
Amen, brother!

30 second MBA?
I finally got around to reading through the recent Fast Company magazine, and saw a little promo for one of their online features: The 30 Second MBA. Normally I never check those kind of online features out; they are almost always characterized by little value and/or over the top marketing. I respect Fast Company though [...]

4 twitter misconceptions (IMHO)
Like everyone else it seems, I’m fascinated by twitter. Not so much the actual usage of it, more how others use it, business models that will develop around it, and what the future holds in store for it.

Using free ranking services available from Postrank, I built an automatically updating list of [...]
Re-tagging comments welcome
I still have a couple surprises left from when I talked about several upcoming site changes in my 100th post. They are underway and I think you will like them both. One of them has to do with a change that should make it easier to find more posts on the site you want to [...]
How do you like my new suit?
So, back in my 100th post, I mentioned a couple of upcoming surprises here at DCO. Here’s the first one – a face lift to the overall look of the site. The theme I had been using on the site as the Revolution theme by Brian Gardner, a very nice basic theme. While Brian does [...]
Polls are still open
I have a handful of votes on the Weekend Reader poll, but no clear consensus has emerged. The votes to date have helped guide my thinking as to what new approach to take, but I’m still looking for more votes to get a better sense of what everyone is thinking. I’m including the poll again [...]
