Freelancing? Have Some Patience with Social Media
If you’re trying to get your freelance writing business off the ground, you probably want to see results now. Who wouldn’t? Unfortunately, life doesn’t usually work that way. You need patience. It can be hard to have any of that when you’re struggling to make ends meet, or when you’ve spent money setting up a business and need to get that money back in the form of paying clients.
You can’t force things to happen on your schedule, but you can help them along by being prepared and easy for potential clients to find.

Learn to Lock and Unlock Blogger Widgets
Many of us who blog regularly and like to tweak the appearance of our blog are accustomed to editing the widgets. This gets us to the fact that some widgets can be removed while others have their parameters set in a manner that they cannot be removed. These are termed as unlocked and locked widgets respectively.

How to Add rel=”nofollow” to Dates in Comments
Hyperlinked dates in WordPress comments are a useful navigation tool — they let your readers link to specific parts of any discussion that takes place on your blog, but they come with one major flaw — they’re dofollow links by default and as such they take some link juice away from the post itself. If your blog gets multiple comments per entry, like mine does, you’re wasting your potential PR on URLs that aren’t useful in any way. If you’ve tried using one of the nofollow/dofollow plugins for wordpress in order to nofollow everything that’s a waste of your blog’s link juice, you probably know already that nofollowing dates in comments is tricky as hell. Hardly any wordpress plugin can attribute nofollow to comment-date links, and if you use something like Link Indication, which I otherwise recommend, you won’t be able to include date-based URLs in the nofollow rule, because that would likely exclude a large chunk of your blog’s content from being followed.
13 Ways to Generate New Article Ideas
Web writers and bloggers need new article titles constantly. While there are theoretically thousands of topics to cover, with time, it becomes more and more difficult to come up with new subjects on a daily basis. Part of the problem is that not every subject sells well on the internet and that some of the most profitable content niches are extremely saturated. Successful online writers will stick to writing about what they know, as well as about what they’re interested in by managing their resources wisely. Here are top 20 ways in which you can maximize your article ideas in quantity, quality and earning potential.
