Other Stuff Blog

secretGeek:

There's always a way to include a screen shot, and it's the first thing that people are looking for. Once they've seen your product, then they'll have a place in their mind to store the facts and figures, the features and the detail. They'll have questions, too, and hopefully the writing will answer their questions.

Check out the front page for blogjet. That's better. A screenshot. And best yet — the screen shot takes you to more screenshots. I feel like I know that product now. And if you know a product, well, you start to care about it. It's not just vapour.

That’s because I always liked screenshots and I’m proud of the BlogJet’s interface

By the way, if you ever wondered who is this girl on the screenshot and why she’s not included in BlogJet’s distribution  – this is my girlfriend Tanya.

Seth Godin:

Many in the flak community are trying to turn blogs into just another media outlet. They're not. Instead, they are a terrific home for the remarkable. Make stuff worth talking about first. Then talk about it.

Michael Hyatt wrote an article on How to Start a Blog. My favorite part? Of course #5:

Consider using an offline blogging client. This isn’t a necessity but it will make blogging much easier. An offline blogging client is like a word processor for blogging. It enables you to write when you’re not online and then upload your post when you connect to the Internet. The two most popular are BlogJet and ecto (yes, the lowercase “e” is part of the branding).

Thanks, Michael!
