One of my regular blog reads is Daniel’s Daily Blog Tips … he recently posted a great interview with a wildly popular blogger named Liz Strauss of Successful-Blog and one quote just blared out to me with wisdom.
Giving her advice to fellow bloggers, she said: “Breathe. Know that the Internet has no eraser.”
I nominate it for the best blogging advice of the year … and it’ll probably not be unseated for me all year long.
As she appropriately continues in her quote, “Your children, your grandchildren, your future spouse, your future boss, and your future enemy will see what you write eventually.”
Watch what you say. Even though the web is “virtual,” it’s really not. It’s quite permanent. The web has a memory. It gets indexed in search engines, your stuff gets posted on other sites and blogs … and people will find it.
Good advice, great advice, actually, for Christ-followers seeking to make a difference by using blogs … Thanks, Liz!
I’m excited to eventually read The Blogging Church written by Brian Bailey and Terry Storch, but frankly, I’d really love a review copy! (Hint, hint, cough, cough: Jossey-Bass, Brian, Terry, Leadership, whoever.)
Anyway, check out this promo video on the book with Brian and Terry.

THANK YOU GOOGLE!
Anyway, one of the best ways to get listed in Google is to create and submit a sitemap through their Google Webmaster Tools.
