Hello, my name is Keiko Lynn and I’m a blogaholic.
You may think I’m kidding (I wish I was kidding) but I’m unfortunately serious. If I woke up one day and my blog was gone, I don’t know what I would do with myself. It would probably involve a bridge and a plummet (okay, now I’m […]

Well isn’t this all getting rather interesting.
As it stands, Robert is absolutely caning me in the recruitment stakes. Although I did write the post asking for contributors, so, in essence, Robert is only closing the deal. I had to do a load of cold calling, if truth be told.
I’d just like to point out that […]

Right, I could do with your help.
I’m currently talking to somebody who wants to integrate a blog into their website. They aren’t in any way web-savvy, so they need their web designer to do most of it for them, but they seem to be fantastically keen to start one.
They were just on the verge […]

A good blogger will always make a good writer, but a good writer might not necessarily make a good blogger.
Quite a bold statement, don’t you think? Maybe I’d better explain myself.
Firstly, we’d better talk about what I mean by writing in this context. I’m not talking about creative writing, that’s for sure. I’m referring to […]

I’m still smarting over a referral I found in my stats which […]

Here’s a little test.
If we take BLOGthenticity to mean blogging authentically, then what does authenticity in reference to blogging mean to you?

The business blogosphere can be divided into two distinct groups - those who tell us how blogging is the eighth wonder of the internet, then charge quite a bit to set you one up, and those who do it, but can’t afford to have someone show them how to do it properly.
A blog might […]

I wrote this last November, a month after I revamped The Tinbasher for public consumption. Every last word is as valid, if not more so, now as it was back then. You might think me a bit of a lazy swine for not bothering to write some fresh material first up, but I think this […]
