Ok, I decided to bite the bullet and try the Twitter thing.  I'm thinking its a little spammy, but what the heck.

I added an interactive link to my blog and website, check it out:

Are any of you using Twitter?  If so, how are you incorporating it into your business?

The problem is that it's flash based so the search engines can't pick it up.

Ok, I'll switch to the less attractive and interactive HTML widget...

Welcome to my world!

I'm thinking not to many of my clients, friends and associates care to know what house I'm inspecting today.  I'm going to try and add a real estate related news article everyday, maybe CPSC recall information or info about when I'm performing some large or unusual inspection project.

I may have to buy a text appropriate cell phone as my existing samsung flip is not text friendly....

Good Luck!

Hey John;

Here's another example of the twitter updates on my blogger site:

http://certifiedmasterinspector.blogspot.com/

http://www.progressiveinspection.com/?D=10

I've got my site, blog, linkedin, activerain and twitter all connected.  I've been running about 120-130 visits p/day to my website.  I'll be checking to see if this has any impact on those numbers over the next few months.

That's something I need to learn how to do.  I would like to be able to write a blog on my site then post a link to it on all the other sites.  That way when someone reads it, they are on my site and can view other stuff too.
Right now I copy and paste.

I feel your pain! 

I'm still taking baby steps, but getting my website and working with the HTML CMS - "Content Management System" has really helped me understand much of the basic stuff. 

I don't think HTML is really considered "CODE", but if you get a couple of characters out of place, what you're working on will come to a complete stop.  It's almost a learning system while your working with it.  Same goes for the blogs and other online systems. 

Keep pluggin away....

Will,

Let me know when you get the html version up. I'm pretty sure it's Javascript which is also ignored unfortunately.

Unfortunately it's Javascript  so all the bots see is:

Code:
Unfortunately, this is all Google sees, note the text isn't there as it's called by the javascript file. Still nice for people reading the site though.
