Headspace2 Tutorial: Exploring SEO Through Plugins
A recent coaching session covered the SEO benefits of installing and using Headspace2. As members of that call will recognize, about 45 minutes was cut from this video. All the wasted time on technical difficulties is gone. Areas where the information was repeated (as in answering questions or covering the same concept on a different part of the call) were removed or spliced together to provide a single explanation.

My Profound Apologies
If you are a part of my Tech Based Marketing Newsletter Subscribers, you have my heartfelt and profound apologies. As many of you know, my sites were hacked, my control panel invaded and 2 months of my time lost chasing the #@%@# hacker(s).
I was able to resolve my problem thanks to the wonderful folks at IX Web Hosting and their tireless efforts to help me get my sites clean and a complete backup on my local computer. Read the rest of My Profound Apologies
Make 2010 The Year You Acheive Your Dreams
At the end of each year, most of us spend a few moments reflecting on what we have accomplished during the year.
Are we were we wanted to be?
Each year, at least for me, there is a little disappointment when I realize that – no – I did not achieve what I had set out to get done. Read the rest of Make 2010 The Year You Acheive Your Dreams
Defend Your Blog: Scan For Vulnerabilities
I hate to do it. Tempt the fates that is. After weeks of effort, lost time, missed billables, disappointed clients and frustrated days — I think I am free. Virus free that is.
And even as I am writing this post, I feel a tremor in my loins. A quick check of my site in my FTP program shows a cache directory I didn’t update! Run the file permissions recursed into subfolders and update the .htaccess file to protect the directory. Am I ready? Maybe. Read the rest of Defend Your Blog: Scan For Vulnerabilities
Fix The Wordpress Blank Page Error
So, has this happened to you? You install a new upgrade or plugin, and suddenly, various places within your dashboard no longer work? You happily click the Dashboard | Posts | Edit link to be greeted by a stark white and completely empty page.
I know. Me too.
And like you, I started Googling the answer, only to find there were dozens of “solutions” out there, and not one of them helped me. I will, for the sake of consolidating the answers into one convenient place, assemble those other solutions as well, but here is what worked for me.

Pardon The Dust And Swearing
It’s likely to get bad around here for the next couple of weeks. In fact, it’s bad not just here!
I own and update more than 50 blogs, and every single one of them is currently *under construction*. Or to be more accurate, being moved from one hosting control panel to another.
See, I got tagged with a virus. A little bit of injected code that someone managed to get past the defenses that were in place at the time. (Admittedly, not as much as is in place now). After chasing it for almost 2 months now, I broke down and requested my hosting company move me to a new server. They graciously agreed. Read the rest of Pardon The Dust And Swearing

One Service Rep – Above and Beyond
Actually, it’s more like 5 service rep’s over the last two months, but today’s rep at IX Web Hosting really impressed me. Let me share a little about Carson with you.
A little background… a hacker POS found a way into my hosting account. An unsecured back door or careless password from someone on the server and the little scum sucker wiggled his or her way in. IX notified me immediately that my account password might have been compromised. They changed ALL passwords immediately and required me to do the same.
