If you haven’t noticed I’ve given the blog a little face-lift! While I really loved my previous design, I had been using it for a very long time and it just seemed dated. I also wanted something with a little more functionality and worked better with social media sharing. So what you see now is the new layout and I am very happy with it!
WordPress 101: Plugins & Themes
Welcome to my second post in a series I am calling WordPress 101. In my first post I went over why to choose WordPress. Now I had thought about doing a post on how to install WordPress, but they have that covered quite well already. Also many hosting companies like BlueHost offer 1-click installs for…
How Having an E-mail Newsletter Has Helped My Blogging
Lately though, I’ve been keeping up with it pretty well. One of the main reasons for this is because I have started an e-mail newsletter. I was never really sold on the e-mail newsletter idea, but last year I started a weekly e-mail newsletter for ThinkComputers and I recently decided to have one for the blog too.
Join the BobBuskirk.com E-mail Newsletter!
If there is one thing that I’ve never done with this blog is have an e-mail newsletter. I have e-mail newsletters for ThinkComputers and some of my other sites so why not have one for the blog. While there is not a whole lot going on with the blog right now, I plan on doing…
Let’s Get Back to Blogging!
I always say this, but damn I haven’t blogged in awhile! Each time I make some excuse like being busy, working on other projects, etc. There really should not be an excuse. This blog is a reflection of myself and as someone that should be promoting his business through his own personal brand (this blog)…
Pages Back and About Me Updated!
One thing I did not notice when I updated the blog to this theme back in January was that the pages sort of disappeared! They were actually set by default to a “Page” template that I never setup on the theme so when you would click them they would just reload the blog. I have…
5 Things That Have Changed in the Past 5 Years!
The other night I went through and read a lot of my blog posts from back in 2005-2009. If you didn’t know I’ve been blogging since 2005! That is one thing that is great about blogging, you can go back and see what you were up to, it’s like a journal. Looking back on these…
New Year, New Blog Design
Well as you can see I have a new layout here on my blog! The old layout was on the site for around 3 years, which is quite a long time. Over time it had got cluttered and just seemed boring and out dated to me. Also for a time I had thought about making…
Becoming Personal Again…
Well the other night I went back and read every post I’ve ever written on this blog. I think I just wanted to look back over the past 6 years, but I noticed something. Up until a few years ago I was really being personal, talking about what was going on in my life, how…
February 2010 Thoughts
2010 is sure going by very quickly! It is already March and it seems like it was just the new year not that long ago! This month hasn’t been the best here is Pittsburgh as we’ve had some of the worst snow storms in recent memory as you could tell from my Snowed In post. I was extremely busy working on a new project and ThinkComputers last month so I was only able to write 6 posts, my favorite out of them would have to be the Things I love about Pittsburgh
January 2010 Thoughts
Wow it’s already a month into 2010! January was a really crazy month for me as I was in Las Vegas for CES. I tried to fill everyone in on my trip, but I still have 3-4 posts to publish, so stay tuned for those. Out of the 9 posts from January my favorite would have to be My 2009 Year In Review. It is always good to look back and see what you were doing and having a blog enables you to look back. That is why I love blogging, from time to time I will go back and read my old posts to remember fun times, get new ideas, and just to look at old photos. That’s just another reason to start blogging if you haven’t already.
My 2009 Year in Review
Wow it’s 2010! Not only a new year, but a new decade! This past year was a very good year for me, there were all kinds of ups, downs, and in between’s. If you have a blog you know how great it is that you are able to look back on things you have done and be able to see the good times, reflect on your mistakes, and just remember some things you may have forgot. So here is my 2009 year in review, hope you all enjoy it!
October 2009 Thoughts
Wow what a crazy month it has been! First you may have noticed I have not updated this blog in a over a MONTH! That is way to long without an update! There is a good reason for this, if you head on over to ThinkComputers you will notice the new design. Not only did…
A Few Blog Changes
If you come to this blog often you know that I don’t change things up that much. Well finally I made a few changes, some of the stuff I’ve been meaning to do for a while actually, and I just never got around to it. It is always good to change up your blog from…
September 2009 Thoughts
Another month has gone by and as always it went very, very fast. This month was more like a chill month I didn’t get as much work done as I would have liked to, but I still worked pretty hard. Towards the end of the month I really started to get cold here in Pittsburgh…
