If you can�t be content with what you have received, be thankful for what you have escaped.

Listen. Do not have an opinion while you listen because frankly, your opinion doesn?t hold much water outside of Your Universe. Just listen. Listen until their brain has been twisted like a dripping towel and what they have to say is all over the floor.

Just a question, since I am going back to read the whole series this weekend, how do you set up your blog so that you can email it to others?

Hey Trent,

Thanks a million for doing this over the course of December. A lot of these tips have helped me get over some hurdles that have been causing me grief in the past month or two.

One thing that made me curious was your stance on social bookmarking links in the footer. Obviously the excessive twelve icons is evil, but I personally use a two icon digg/delicious setup.

On one hand I completely see your point about them adding to the clutter because experienced users have an extension and new users know nothing about it. I feel they can be integrated without clutter and plugin or not, they are seeing some use.

I have the del.icio.us plugin for firefox, but if the icon is there on a blog, I’ll use it. I’ve noticed that I’m more likely to make that single left click at the bottom of the post versus a right click then a left click (or left click at the top of the window). Perhaps I’m the lazy exception.

Thoughts?

These tips are really spot on, and really incredible coming from a blog that started in October :) You hinted at a previous blog before, but either you are a blogging prodigy or you must have been blogging a while.
