Cyber Monday Publicity Stunt: Amazon Octcopter Package Delivery

Posted By Bill Hartzer on December 2, 2013at 10:07 am

Today is Cyber Monday, Monday December 2, 2013. What better to get free publicity (and plenty of it, mind you) by coming up with a publicity stunt. I’m going to go out on a limb here, and call it like I see it: Amazon’s Jeff Bezos’ appearance on CBS television last night on 60 Minutes was nothing but a publicity stunt. Perfect timing, too, huh? Right before Cyber Monday. [Read more…]

Why I Changed My Legal Name from Bill Hartzer to BillHartzer.com

Posted By Bill Hartzer on April 1, 2013at 10:45 am

I finally got to meet with the judge here in Kaufman County, Texas last week, and as of today, I am no longer officially listed on the books as “Bill Hartzer”.

CNET Spyware: CNET Downloads Come with a Bonus, Unwanted Programs and Spyware

Posted By Bill Hartzer on February 5, 2013at 10:37 am

We can now officially call it CNET Spyware. CNET Downloads, formerly a trusted source of downloads, now comes with an unhealthy dose of unwanted programs and add-ons installed on your PC without your consent, changed default search settings, and spyware. It’s now unsafe to download anything from CNET. So now, as a result of unwanted programs and add-ons being installed without your consent, I’m calling it CNET Spyware. [Read more…]

Does the Perfect Blog Post Really Exist?

Posted By Bill Hartzer on June 29, 2012at 10:36 am

I have written before about the perfect blog post. Does a perfect blog post really exist? Well, that really depends on how you define the phrase, “the perfect blog post”. When it comes to a perfect blog post, I personally define it as being a blog post that meets its objectives. What are the goal(s) for the blog post? Why are you writing it, and what net effect do you want to get from it? [Read more…]

Overblog – How to Make the Most of Social Media

Posted By Bill Hartzer on June 11, 2012at 9:05 am

If you have ever tried to add your social media content to your blog, you know how troublesome it can be. Setting up automatic tweets, and posts is pretty easy, but what if you want to add stuff that is happening live? You first would have to log into your blogging account, and go through several steps before you are able to post your content. Plus, taking your laptop to the department store while you’re trying on clothes, or to the big concert that all your friends are going to would be a MAJOR hassle. For those who are looking for a simpler solution to this ever growing problem of being able to conveniently share your social media content while on the go, then you might want to check out Overblog.com.

5 Easy Tips To Keep Your Company Blog Updated

Posted By Bill Hartzer on March 7, 2012at 10:20 am

Everyone is busy these days, and unfortunately blogging is one of those things that always seems to get pushed to the back of our to-do list.

WordPress Search Review: Yolink Search

Posted By Bill Hartzer on April 28, 2011at 8:38 am

For some time now, WordPress sites have been well known for their vast amounts of information, and content. This presents both an opportunity, and a problem.

WordPress Disabling Blog Posts with More than 100 Outgoing Links

Posted By Bill Hartzer on December 23, 2010at 2:57 pm

WordPress is now disabling blogs that contain blog posts that have more than 100 outgoing links in a blog post. On one of the blogs that I occasionally post on, I experienced this first-hand.

FTC Says Bloggers Must Disclose or Face Stiff Penalties

Posted By Bill Hartzer on October 5, 2009at 10:35 am

In what I believe is a surprising decision, the Federal Trade Commission decided that they will require bloggers to “clearly disclose any freebies or payments” they get from companies for reviewing their products.
