Blogging Betty Boomer is still learning Twitter. Trying to make sense of it. She wants to share a blog talk radio show that gave some really good insights. The host was Connie Bennett at Sugar Shock Blog. You can get it here.
Discovery: You get breaking news sometimes before the news!
Blogging Betty Boomer is now on Twitter. She is a new kid on the block. Any help you can give her is welcomed. Meanwhile she is planning to really travel, twitter and tweet.

This is a really simple and easy explanation about blogging. I enjoy the work they produce. Look for more posts from them.
We are going to do a series of blogging “how to” videos. There will be several versions from different bloggers. Each video will have a unique approach and voice. But it is hoped that hearing different people say silmilar information then it can help different listeners.
This first series will be on blogging using Blogger.com
Need a one page sales letter? Can you do it in Wordpress.org? Is it hard? Do I need a Webmaster? Do you need Frontpage or dreamweaver?
I could not believe how very easy it was to do. Cathy, The Word Press Wizard, gave it all away in one of her free weekly teleseminars. She shows you how to create a one page sales site in Wordpress.org. NOTE THAT I SAID WORDPRESS.ORG NOT WORDPRESS.COM
You cannot do any form of advertising on a wordpress.com hosted site.
I must admit I am late listening to the replay. (That’s right, she actually saves the classes as replays and sends it to you if you are on her mailing list.) Now hold on, she also has a dynamic Action Guide. She went step by step showing you how to make the one page site and you actually will understand it.
But don’t leave after the lesson. Listen to all the questions folks submitted. They are golden.
So here is the link -look for the session dated August 20,2008, for that teleseminar.
PS Be sure to go and listen to the other powerful sessions. I don’t know how long she will be giving these golden nuggets away so listen to them as soon as you can.
If you do not understand it I will give you your money back! HA!
Brandon A Cox has written a powerful post on Firefox add ons for folks who have not explored beyond Internet Explorer. I am convinced that you will consider taking the plunge once you read his insightful post.
You can read his insightful post on Firefox right here.
PS if you recall my earlier post on naked permalinks look at his permalinks. It clearly includes the date and title of the post. How cool! A great example to follow.
I thought I was just over tired, timed out or in the twilight zone. My widgets would not work! I found myself clicking on the edit and they ignored me. So, I switched themes and had the same problem. Finally, I went to the good old wordpress forumn and found out that I was not alone.
It appears that many are having challenges with the new version of Wordpress 2.6.2 when it comes to widgets. So I decided to post a link from the forumn so you can keep up with the discussion. Also, I wanted to encourage you to visit there often it is worth it’s weight in gold to read the posts made by folks who know so much more.
As well if you are on blogger.com, typepad or any blogging platform-visit and participate in the forumns.
Here is the link I promised.

PS
After I clicked on the theme to reactivate it my widgets worked! Go figure. So much to learn that’s why asking questions and having challenges help us to grow (not grey hairs) but experiance and expertise. (The grey hairs come naturally-HA!
Sprout is a brand new site for RSS feeds. It seems that they will be intuitive based on your needs. At any rate here is the white paper that tells you all about it.
Note that it is a pdf document.
Also, they have a blog so keep your eyes on the posts to learn more. If you are still wondering about RSS feeds click on the RSS category on this site. It includes an audio post with Cathy Perkins. If you would like me to interview you about RSS and add to this content let me know. Or you can post your own audio without an interview at your leisure. I can give you the phone number and you can talk away.
Just in case you are wondering why I posted the Windows Movie video in the last post I will tell you.
I just discovered it. That’s right I read about it in a newspaper article and played with it on the same day, Now it is not perfect. I sent it to email and after 2 days it was delivered. I have no clue why. However, I am going to play some more and try to make this work. Any insights are welcomed. After all, as baby boomers, we must keep learning and know how to ask questions -also the right ones.
This was done on Windows XP so I will also play with Vista. Cannot find how to connect with hosting options. What If I have an option already?
One major question I have is how to find the code to pop into my blog. Anyone know?
Check out two baby boomers, Ray and Rosie, getting ready to blog.
