Technically Challenged People Deserve Blogs Too
I’m excited to announce my latest endeavor: URLuscious!
URLuscious is part of my master plan to demystify all things techie-geeky; helping non-techie folks incorporate the web and its social goodness into their lives.
The mission statement:
Make it easy for anyone to quickly and easily have a website or blog that looks great and is easy to maintain – regardless of your creativity, technical knowledge or experience.*
*translation: Websites so easy, even your mother can do it!
Blog-in-a-box
URLuscious’s flagship product is Blog-in-a-box, a service that includes installation, configuration, hosting and user training for a WordPress blog.
Having a blog has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I’ve talked to so many people who would like to have a blog or website of their own, but don’t have the time or technical comfort level to get one started. Others want the benefits of a self-hosted WordPress blog, but feel locked into their current system or don’t know how to make the switch.
My goal is to remove these intimidating and/or frustrating barriers so that anyone can have the rewarding experience I’ve enjoyed.
Sneak Peak and Gift Certificates
The site’s not quite ready (right now “alpha-ish” might be a better description!) – its launch will be in early April. I’m still cleaning up some broken links and adding functionality.
In the meantime, I’m offering a $25 Gift Certificate to the site in exchange for your feedback. If you’re interested, please take a moment fill out this survey after visiting the site.
I’ll be posting news about the launch and offering special “Fearless Blogger discounts” here. You can also follow @URLuscious on Twitter or enter your email below to join the mailing list:
Of course, your feedback is also welcome in the comments!
(URLuscious is powered by Apple and WordPress, and energized by equal parts Justin Timberlake, Conan O’Brien, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.)

Call for Nominations Now Open for “Women Changing the World” Award!
One of the most vital lessons I’ve learned this past year is the importance of reaching out for help. The Speak for Success Women’s Leadership Institute is accepting nominations for its “Women Changing the World” Award. As I’ve expressed in my most recent blog posts, the Women’s Leadership Institute was a life-changing experience for me. [...]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Chris Blake
Chris Blake is an example of why I love sites like Twitter. I’m not sure how our tweets crossed paths, but I am glad they did. Chris is a talented musician. I love his music, but music reviews are not what I do best. Instead, to give you an idea of why I <3 Chris, I’m “borrowing” from another TV institution. Today’s installment of Inside the Bloggers Studio will be prefaced by my own “Top 10 List”. [click on the star image to read more]
Inside the Bloggers Studio: Meet Mitch Wagner
I’ll be honest with you. I’d planned to write a riveting mini-bio on today’s featured guest, Mitch Wagner.
See, Mitch is an incredibly interesting guy. It’s only fair to write something incredibly interesting about him then, right?
But Mitch had to go ahead and – *gasp!* – upstage the blogger.
That’s right. You heard me. Upstaged. Me. I can’t compete with Mitch’s answers . Anything I could write would pale in comparison. [click star to read full post]
what I'm up to- Happy 90210! (I think Donna was my favorite - who was yours?)
- Just noticed Craigslist's "show images" option. That's handy.

Where were you a year ago when I was trying to figure out how to do all of this?
You are going to provide an amazing service! Just think of all of the amazing stuff we will see that would never have hit the net without you!
I would wish you luck, but I really do not think you are going to need it. ; ^ )
