Typewith.me for Beneficial Collaboration on Writing Content & Any Projects

by Derek Jensen · 50 comments

Hav­ing another mind, edit­ing, walk­ing through, or just fore­see­ing what you are doing that is explained in writ­ing is very ben­e­fi­cial. We can co-write a blog post, work on an ebook together, or draft up and then final­ize some ideas for the next project. This can all be done using Typewith.me. You just have to do is decide what to col­lab­o­rate on or share to either your inner cir­cle or another audience.

Eliminate Distractions & Write Constant Quality Content with Ommwriter

by Derek Jensen

Dis­trac­tions are every­where. Most of them are when you’re con­nected to the web or just being con­nected to your com­puter. What if I told you that you could elim­i­nate these dis­trac­tions? I’ve noticed when­ever I am writ­ing con­tent for my blog and read­ers I tend to veer off. Every­time this hap­pens the qual­ity of my writ­ing weak­ens. There’s […]

Google Analytics: Metrics Worth Tracking

by Seth

Under­stand­ing the impor­tance of sta­tis­tics for your blog is an impor­tant step in devel­op­ing your blog.  The best way to find suc­cess is by mea­sur­ing per­for­mance and striv­ing to improve it. Now do not get me wrong, spend­ing hours every day look­ing at them will not help you.  That is too much time spent on […]

6 Plugins You Should Always Have Ready For Blog Emergencies

by Alex

Crazy things can hap­pen to any blog at any time. Some make sure to be pre­pared for these things, and oth­ers may not be as pre­pared.

7 Alternative Blogging Tools (Mac-Supported too!)

by Janith

I can’t help but feel that many of our read­ers found WLW either inad­e­quate, not suited or per­haps even com­pletely use­less. For­tu­nately, the com­ments writ­ten for my first post on Win­dows Live Writer sug­gested that either it’s not worth­while (because WP’s Edi­tor is pretty solid) or it wasn’t Mac-supported. So, I’ve spent some time researching […]

by Janith

Fol­low­ing up my rec­om­men­da­tion post on Win­dows Live Writer, I promised to deliver with some of the best exten­sions (or plu­g­ins) that are avail­able for WLW. Hence, I’ve spent the last week or so, research­ing the depths of the WLW Plu­gin archives (7 pages); in search of the most use­ful add-ons and I found cou­ple of absolute […]

by Janith

I recently upgraded my MSN Mes­sen­ger to the new Win­dows Live Mes­sen­ger (I waited a while for them to release a more sta­ble ver­sion, because know­ing Microsoft they prob­a­bly for­got half the code they were meant to include.)

12 Useful Firefox Add-ons For Every Serious Blogger

by Janith

Fire­fox is one of the most rec­og­nized com­peti­tors to Microsoft’s hor­ri­ble Inter­net Explorer (IE8) because of it’s vast func­tion­al­ity and quite impres­sive flex­i­bil­ity. Straight out of the box, Fire­fox is a sta­ble and use­ful browser, but with a few plu­g­ins and themes you can really cus­tomise to look and func­tion as par with your heart’s content.
