Twittering Again

I'm Back

Well that didn’t take long.  I guess I have a real problem.

I am going back to Twittering, but I will be sure not to be using it as I was before, a play-by-play of my life.  Instead I will be using it as a micro-blog.  I have a lot of little ideas and tips that I think of during the day, but don’t think that they are “important” enough to write a full blownblog post.

Don’t get me wrong, it is not that these things are useless, it is j
ust that they are tips and unless I put together a bunch of them there is not really a point to fill someone’s RSS reader.

So, Join me on Twitter and find out what life lessons (and affiliate business) I learn, as I learn them.

One Reason Working Online Is Awesome

The MusicI was trying to get some work done at home today, but for the life of me it was too nice outside.

You can work anywhere, including a pub with free wifi and music. So I did what any smart Haligonian would do, I headed to the pub. The Old Triangle was my choice.  I walked around the town and this was the only place that had free wi-fi.

I tried the Aliant Brand that was free up till recently.  It really sucks that most of the places that had free wireless in Halifax switched and now you have to either already be an Aliant customer or pay a huge amount to get online….I might as well stay home.

The Bar

If you are downtown today, come on by, I am probably the only one working on a computer :)

Wordpress Link Cloak Installed…Finally

I finally got Wordpress Link Cloak working on my site.  It took some figuring out, and playing with the settings but all is well now.  One think that is not a huge plus for Wordpress Link Cloak is the cost.  It is $77!!!, however I think that it is well worth it for the time that it is going to save me on many of my different sites.

However the down side that almost had me asking for my money back, is the customer service.

I know that this is probably a one man show, but being a paid plugin means that it doesn’t have much of a community to help people out when they run into problems.  But even being a one man show shouldn’t mean that you don’t reply to your emails for days.  I bought the plugin a week from today, couldn’t get it to work and emailed the support.  I didn’t hear back for a couple of days and when their fix didn’t work I emailed them again.  I still haven’t heard back.

But anyway, if there was a free product out there that did what this WP Link Cloak plugin did, I wouldn’t be using it.  The fact of the matter is that there is only one other plugin that does the automatic keyword linking that this one does and that cost another $20 on top of the $77 of this one.  The free ones out there need you to automatically copy and paste the URLs, which is not a big deal for a new site, but for an old one that can be very time consumming.

I will be writing a more indepth review of the software in the future, but for now give WP Link Cloak a try and let me know what you think
