Hannes Johnson dot Com

OK, I’m not going to post about how sorry I am that I haven’t posted on this blog recently, that I’ve been so busy, the days have just flown by and… oh, wait, I just did ;) Oh, well…
I just checked my RSS stats on the FeedBurner widget and it looks like I have 50 [...]

I talked recently about some of the WordPress plugins I’m using… well, I just installed a bunch of new plug-ins :)
Share This
When I installed the Share This plug-in 1.3 was the latest version. But Alex King published version 1.4 some time ago. So I decided to install the latest version. This version has StumbleUpon which [...]

I think all blogs (especially personal blogs) should have an “about” page to tell the readers who’s behind the blog. That’s why I present to you: Who Is Hannes Johnson?

WordPress released a new upgrade - version 2.0.7. This is an important upgrade because it fixes a PHP security problem and a FeedBurner issue that was in 2.0.6. I had noticed the FeedBurner problem - often when I checked the RSS feed for this blog (and other WordPress blogs) I often got the error message [...]

I just installed a cool plug-in that is called Share This by Alex King. The plug-in adds a link to all my posts that enables my readers to add the post to all kinds of social sites (like del.icio.us, digg, furl, reddit…) or e-mail the post to a friend.
So, instead of having 15 different icons [...]

I just read this great article over at ProBlogger - it’s by guest blogger Tony Hung and he lists a lot of good tips on how to market your blog in 2007.
Tony split the tips into a few categories. Here are some that I liked and/or found interesting - with my comments:
