Announcing PostWisdom for FireFox: Your Personal Blog Writing Coach

Imagine reading an article about blogging from your favorite blogging guru. After a couple of sentences you become excited. The article is really good. It contains an amazing technique. A technique that will make you a better blogger. Using this technique, you immediatly whip out a shining blog post.

When it’s time to write another post you use the technique again, and again the results are great. But since you don’t want to be monotonous/boring, you avoid using that technique for a couple of weeks. And then a new really good article captures your attention and the old technique is forgotten.

I’ve been suffering from the “using only the latest writing advice” syndrom for quite a while now. And that is why we developed PostWisdom. PostWisdom is a FireFox Plugin intended to help bloggers remember and use the best writing techniques. It is easy to use and free.

You can download it and read about it here.

I am looking forward to hear what you think about it, so please, leave a comment.

Update: It seems there was a problem with the download link. My apologies. It’s working now. Thank you Dan for the heads up.

How You can become a Happier Blogger - A Simple 4 Step Technique

While I can’t guarantee it, using this secret yet simple technique will probably make you smile and improve your blogging experience.

And the secret technique is…

Stop reading blogs! (some of them at least)

You shouldn’t dump all your feeds. Just the malicious ones. You know which ones, you have a couple of them in your feed list. These blogs are written by people that abuse others, that try to gain popularity by picking fights and are just irritating. It doesn’t matter how happy you are. These blogs will suck the life out of you.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Open your blog reader
  2. Go over the feed list
  3. When you reach a blog that is abusive/insulting/irritating …
  4. Press the unsubscribe button

That’s all there is to it.

Warning: It is difficult to avoid smiling while applying this technique

Abusive and insulting people have no place in your feed list. Your mind is not their playing ground. Go and unsubscribe their ass. You will be a happier blogger!
