Eary Bird Passes for BlogWorld NYC in June!

Register now for BlogWorldExpo in New York CityEarly bird pricing for the BlogWorld & New Media Expo event in NYC this June just opened up yesterday.

This is a great opportunity to grab an event pass super cheap! ;-)

I jumped on the deal myself, and registered Angie and I to attend. It’s June 5-7th in NYC. I’ve never been to New York, which has been on my list for awhile, and June 7th just happens to be my birthday (I’ll be 39). So I’m really looking forward to it!

I’ll probably stay over and do a little celebrating for this last birthday in my 30′s. :D

Surprisingly, the last time I attended BlogWorld was in Fall 2008. I enjoyed it SO much, it’s shocking it’s been 3 1/2 years since I attended!

My Video Editing Software & Hardware

Since I started my Personal Video Blog back in November, I’ve had tons of questions about my video editing hardware and video editing software – and about video editing in general.

I am no Pro, and had very little experience when I started, but I do get a lot of compliments on my editing…

Which I personally think is a hack job half the time. LOL.

I often joke that I’m a technophobe, but the truth is I don’t have time OR patience to learn complicated software or hardware. If it’s not quick & easy, I’m probably not doing it. :P Which is why I chose the video editing hardware I did.

So let’s dig in and I’ll show you exactly what I use, and (in my opinion) the best video editing software…

Does Link Building Frustrate You?


Hi Lynn: I finally checked my 4 year old blog, tapwaterforgas.com and found what I knew anyway but what I was afraid to check. I only have 2 links to it. I was not surprised but I am appalled at my own actions.

I have read about links, bored with reading about it actually and have now seen first hand what the absence of quality links does. In my instance a reduction in 50% traffic from the SERPS.

My nose is to the grindstone and I have begun a campaign with Wordtracker’s Link Builder. Reading everything from their site and finding out how much I didn’t know. -Jim
