3 Blog Mistakes to Avoid
WebProNews – Apr 17, 2007
Why shouldn’t you host your blog using a third party domain name? You have no control. If you want to change blogging platforms there is no reasonable way to redirect traffic from the old blog to the new address. When we moved from toprank. com to using WordPress as our blog software Google’s Blogger service did not (and still does not) support any kind of redirection for users or for search engine robots. Porting all of the old blog posts to the new hosting and blogging platform also created the issue of duplicate content. With no way to redirect pages deleting the old blog would present users with ugly and alienating “404 Not Found” error pages.

As a blogging interface for TextMate the first thing you’ll notice is that BlogMate isn’t simply a bundle – it’s a full-blown plugin offering a palette with all sorts of control over your. As you can see BlogMate can keep track of a configurable number of past posts hook into your categories and even display previews with pictures of your posts. BlogMate can also handle multiple blogs for those who can’t stop at just one (I’m looking at you Scott McNulty).

Xerox customers want to get into the blogging and collaboration arena but why pay a premium when. Xerox’s financial statements are primarily affected by the sale and maintenance of office management and imaging equipment.
