Hope you noticed I am trying to give you less to read, last few weeks
But the quality is sure improving.
From Search Engine Journal (where I recently guest posted with a useful SEO post) – What the top 7 unsubscribe comments teach you.
If you are already using Google+ (especially to market yourself and your business), it might be a good idea to track your results – How to measure Google Plus with Analytics.
What can I say – A complete guide to getting started with Google Plus.
This is a great topic and discussion – Scorched Earth policy for your blog. Would you ever do something like that?
Danny Brown really did a great job with 68 ways to turbo charge your blogging.
I have been digging deeper into Google Analytics and trying to learn all possible about it lately. With the new interface, some things were confusing at time and I found a great tutorial – Google Analytics 5.
Sun after the rain
I would not say I had too many rainy days with this blog, but I do get annoyed with all the spam comments and keywords-instead-name comments I have to moderate every single day.
For that reason, I made sure all those who comment, have a link to comment rules just under the form. They have been pretty much the same from day 1 of this blog and I don’t plan to change them.
But I sure had a sunny day yesterday, being one of the 5 bloggers on Pat Flynn’s list of 5 posts he wish he wrote. Nothing feels better than being introduced on such a big blog.
Do you have any suggestions to good posts? Send them so I can include them in these round ups.




I was on Pat’s blog and saw your post yesterday. Congo. And, Kristi’s G+ tutorial is really amazing
Thanks for the short and sweet list.
Jane.
Ah, I am greatly appreciated of the short ‘n’ sweet reading lists like this. I can actually get through everything in one sitting!
Look forward to seeing more lists like this in the future. And I dig the new logo!
Hi Brankica,
I loved the Google Analytics 5 post most. I recently had a look at the new version and when I couldn’t find a lot of things, I quickly clicked away, deferring the deed
Good on you that Pat shared your most popular post on his blog. What a way to get some new audience. *Are you aware that the human spammer post shows only the title and comments? (I tried from the link from Pat’s blog and the link from your most popular widget, can’t see the full post). I hope you have not done a Scorched Earth Policy on that one
And I am loving your new logo. It is very cute!
Thanks so much for noticing that. It is a plugin problem, this is the second time it happened with the same plugin! If you want to read that post, it should be up now
Sorry about that and thanks again for telling me!
I try not to do the Scorched policy, lol. Yay, seems like for now people are liking the logo, I wanted to make it just slightly more girly but at the same time keep it “ME” (hence the short hair and sneakers, lol).
You are welcome, Brankica. I remember that was one of the first posts I read on your blog and we had some fun commenting on that post (and you discovered some plantain recipes in the process, remember?
) The post is so good that when you mentioned it here, I wanted to go and read it again. That’s when I found out about the missing content.
Maky, that is you??? I thought it might be you but I was embarrassed to ask
Wow, gal you are rocking it! I love the TPCreate site, you did a great job!
Yea that’s me Sharp Shooter. You know I told you I was working on a new project. I should have sent you an email when I came back, my bad. I use a different e-mail now and you are used to seeing a steaming pot
as my gravatar so no need to be embarrassed.
And thanks for your nice words on the site, that’s very encouraging and it means a lot to me. I launched it recently though I am still putting some finishing touches to some of the articles.
If you need help promoting it just say so
Are you on Triberr yet? If not, I will send you an invite
So nice to see you!
PS I ate plantines several months ago, a Cuban friend made it for us. Loved them and definitely reminded me of you!
Yes, please send me the invitation to Triberr and all other invites you think I’ll need.
Thanks so much for asking.
And do I need promotion? Are you kidding me? You bet! I really appreciate this Brankica!
P.S. You should check out the other recipes, try the Fried Rice, you’ll love it.
Like the short list and the new logo! Agree with above Kristi’s G+ tutorial was great and what I used to get started on the network. The piece about Steve Rubel moving to Tumblr was really good too.
Have a good Sunday!
This was an informative post. At least for me it was. I clicked on all of the links this time.
It’s a great compliment to hear someone say they wish they had written a post. I find myself thinking that a lot more since I’ve reconnected with past friends on Google+. The quality of posts being promoted there seem to be higher than on my FB and Twitter. It’s a nice change.
Love, love, love the new logo!!
Hey Brankica!
I agree that the shorter list is easier to get through. Always full of good info. Congrats on the mention on Pat’s blog! You deserve it! Love the new “cartoon you”!!!
Hi, Brankica. As busy as I am right now, I can really appreciate short reading lists like this. Makes for easy reading, you know. I really like the tutorial from Kristi because I just joined in on Google+ and I sure could use some lessons on how to use it. Looks simple enough.
So, thanks for this.
Hi Brankica, congratulations on being one of 5 bloggers on Pat Flynn’s list. Thank you for the link for Google Analytics 5, taught me stuff that I didn’t know, which I feel was a lot. Hope you have more sweet sunny days.
