What do you do when the big cow asks you to do another guest post, but you have a sore wrist and find typing on the keyboard very painful?

Simple… you do a blog series made almost entirely out of images, with little or no actual value, but may get away with it because the images are amusing. :twisted:

Carpal Tunnel Website Advice - Part one of two

1 - Keep your friends close and your competitors closer. Learn from what they are doing right and more importantly, what they are doing wrong.

2 - Money sucks! - Too many people focus on money first. Focus on your customers/readers, and the money will follow.

3 - When building a website start from the bottom and work upwards. The foundations of your site are the most important, start with the basics first.

4 - Do not be afraid of the huge mega sites in your industry. It is possible to build relationships with even the biggest sites. Remember, they are often not as scary as you think.

5 - Do not try to be something you are not. People will eventually see through it.

not genuine

6 - Be clear and descriptive. Do not confuse your readers with imprecise titles and descriptions.

7 - Controversy can attract attention, it can be a great way to promote your site, but it can also damage your brand.

8 - Try to make the best of a bad situation.

9 - Don’t lose your head in stressful circumstances.

10 - Don’t slip up, ensure your site has all the necessary terms and conditions/privacy policy pages.

Right, I am off to put my wrist in ice. Part two coming later in the week.

I think in blogging terms that’s what they call a lazy day. 1 picture of a hot chick would have worked all the same.

The irony is that it took me over 90 minutes to compile the images. Probably one of the most difficult blog posts I have ever done :shock:

Thanks Sabrina.

They made me laugh as well, so I had to share them.

The advice may be useful for any newcomers as well.

The big green guy reminds me of Dr. Zoydberg from Futurama, a very visually gratifying lesson. :grin:

If McDonald’s finds that, he may well get sued forreal! :)

Freaked me out too. How are they gonna mess with our pure images from childhood? It’s all in fun though.

I need to work on incorporating pictures into my blog all together. I have trouble finding pics that relate to my site but, as you have shown here I guess they don’t have too.

Your pictures made it hilarious :smile: but it all makes sense. Alot of people focus on money and you can tell. I visit blogs based on content. I wouldn’t mind making some money every now and then but I wont change my style for money. I blog about blah and blah so its whatever floats my boat. I realize that my success wont be from my blog but I can live with that.

Cool pix even though we have seen some before but it’s those captions that carry the messages across.

Thanks Dean. In life it’s so important to have a nice laugh and get away from it all. Some of us take things waaaaay to seriously.

Those are great. A great way to present the things that hold people back.

Great post. I know what you mean about the irony but it seems like the end justifies the means. So to speak. :-)
