How Many Tweets Is Too Many?

by on January 23, 2012

Do you follow me on Twitter? A few years ago I stopped tweeting about Surfnetkids resources for calendar events, but I am going to start again. Yay!

The Surfnetkids Calendar includes both the obvious (Martin Luther King Day: Jan 16, 2012 http://bjf.me/xKchG1) and the obscure (Nellie Bly Returns From Her 72-day Trip Around the World: Jan 25, 1890 http://bjf.me/ABiIBJ).

But I have a question. Should I tweet all the events in the Surfnetkids Calendar? That might be 2 or 3 a day. Or should I limit myself to 5 or 7 per week? Your thoughts, please! I wonder how many tweets is too many?

How to Track Multiple Sites with Google Analytics

by Barbara Feldman September 7, 2011

As the publisher of more than fifty sites, I have more than a hundred profiles in my Google Analytics accounts. Spotting trends across this many individual reports is rather difficult without an aggregate view. After thinking about it, I figured I had four options. I’m sure there are more ways to do this, but here’s [...]

My WordPress Poem

by Barbara Feldman July 18, 2011

As a few of you probably know, my flagship site Surfnetkids.com began in 1996, back in the early days of the Internet. Over the years, I progressed from writing HTML code in a text editor, to writing HTML code in an HTML editor (my fav was Homesite), to using Movable Type as a content management [...]

Which WordPress Theme Do I Recommend?

by Barbara Feldman February 22, 2011

Are you a WordPress fan? I am. Over the last twelve months, I have built more than forty sites with WordPress (including this one.) Along the way, I learned a lot about getting things done with WordPress. A few days ago a friend asked me which premium WordPress theme/framework I recommended, and I decided to [...]

Free Online Storage

by Barbara Feldman November 2, 2010

This week I am meeting in a secret location (ha! ha!) with a mastermind group that I’ve been in for more than eleven years. Today the topic of Dropbox came up, and we all agreed on what a great, free tool it is. Dropbox is a simple-to-use file synchronization utility that uses “cloud” storage to [...]

Shining a Light on Women’s Voices

by Barbara Feldman October 19, 2010

Last weekend in Ojai, I was honored to be an attendee at the small (can I use the word boutique?) woman’s blogging conference, Creative Alliance ’10. There I met a yurt full of wonderful women who have integrated blogging into the thread of their lives. But there are two specific projects (and the women making [...]

Gravatar, Identicon, Wavatar

by Barbara Feldman September 29, 2010

A few years ago I added Gravatar icons to my blog, those cool little pictures (or avatars) that are associated with your email address. Whenever you comment on a Gravatar-enabled blog, your little thumbnail picture will display. These are BIG in the “blogging world.” In fact, when I went to WordCamp LA earlier this month, [...]

From Movable Type To WordPress

by Barbara Feldman September 20, 2010

Do you like my new blog look? This journey started months ago when I decided that my blog needed a redesign. Like any nagging thought slipping in and out of one’s consciousness, it just festered until suddenly last Sunday night, after watching two episodes of Mad Men, I did a trial run-though of moving my [...]

I’m Going to BlogHer 2010

by Barbara Feldman April 27, 2010

For the first time ever, I am attending a women’s blogging conference. I’m going to BlogHer 2010 in New York in August. Have you gone before? Do you have any words ofadvice for a novice? Or are you going for the first time this year too? While there, I would love to do a meet-and-greet [...]

My Mother’s Jewelry Box

by Barbara Feldman April 12, 2010

You might recall me mentioning that my brother and I put Mom in an Alzheimer’s facility a year ago. She’s doing well. She loves her new home (isn’t that great and somewhat amazing?) and is still fairly high-functioning. But the disease is progressing, and over the year she’s lost a number of skills, such as [...]

My Facebook Decision

by Barbara Feldman April 3, 2010

It took me awhile to gather all my thoughts about how to use Facebook, and I’ve made a few bloopers, but now I feel like I am on track. Here’s the story. Because I am an online publisher, I feel a need to test and participate in major social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, [...]
