Knauf FP Putty – best choice in fire safety
Knauf FP PuttyKnauf FP Putty
The requirement of the investor was to provide fire protection for the truss structures of the roof of the warehouse and for the columns supporting the construction.
The warehouse, whose floor plan makes up 24 x 48 meters, is 13 meters high, making the application process slightly difficult. The hall is used for storing various materials, except for combustibles. The requirement was to provide a fire resistance of at least 30 minutes, which was stipulated by fire regulations.
The investor initially had three choices. The first was to provide fire protection with gypsum boards (such as Knauf Fireboard). However, this would require an increased amount of work and would be time consuming. Not to mention the finances. The second option, which turned out to be more realistic, was to use intumescent paint. However, the expenses for this solution were still very high, since the construction needed at least 3 to 4 coats of paint to obtain the required thickness of the fire protective layer. After consultation with Knauf technicians, it was decided that fire-resistance plaster Knauf SIBATERM® Outdoor is the best solution in this situation. The passive cement based fire-resistant plaster Knauf SIBATERM® Outdoor can be used in a relatively high humidity, which was the case of the unheated warehouse open during the day (every season). The budget compared to the fire-retarding paint was ultimately halved, which played a crucial role in the investor's decision. The rate of application was also a great contribution, as one layer was sufficient at the required thickness of 15 mm, calculated on the basis of the profile of the steel beams used in the roof structure. As a reminder - the minimum thickness of SIBATERM plaster must be 10 mm and maximum 30 mm when applied in one working sequence (if in two, max 60 mm). The advantage for the investor was also the fact that he could apply SIBATERM plaster himself. Application can be done using PFT Multimix and Swing machines, which can be rented.
The procedure was not complicated. First it was necessary to clean the beams with a steel brush in order to remove remnants of old paint, coarse dust, etc. The surface had to be dry, but this was not a problem due to the nature of the warehouse. Prior to the application of SIBATERM, it was crucial to apply Knauf SIBATERMGRUND primer in a 10 to 20 mm thick layer to ensure that the plaster adheres perfectly to the construction material. Once the primer coat had dried (no earlier than 2 hours and no later than 24 hours), the plaster could be applied using a plaster machine. Due to the height of the ceiling it was necessary to use a 20 meter hose. The plaster was applied in one go. The temperature was slightly above +10 ° C, which fully complied with the advisable conditions (the technical data sheet shows a minimum temperature of +5 ° C). Approximately 10 mm thick spraying dries for 14 days on average, but it depends on the specific building conditions, i.e., mainly temperature, humidity and ventilation. The material consumption is usually 7 kg per m2 at 10 mm thickness.

Writerly Wednesday #9: NEW BOOK RELEASE! It's all about charity today!
Hello everyone, and welcome to another Writerly Wednesday, a meme hosted by my "twin", Erin Danzer. This is the meme where I discuss all things writerly related.
This week, I am VERY excited to announce the release of the charity anthology that I have been putting together for over a year! Yes, today is release day for Writings From the Heart: Stories and Poetry From Around the World. 30 short stories and poems make up this unique anthology. Authors and poets from around the world joined together for one cause; to raise awareness of congenital heart disease in children. All proceeds from this collection will go to the Adult Congenital Heart Program in the Pediatric Cardiology unit at the Cohen Children's Medical Center of NY for education and research in this area.
I chose this charity, because I personally was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, and am a part of this new program. The purpose of this program, is to help transition children in the pediatric part, into the adult congenital heart program. Where I live, it is very difficult to find an adult cardiologist who truly understands the world of pediatric cardiology. That's where Dr. Scott Pilgrim, my cardiologist and the coordinator of the program comes in. He takes the time to explain to the kids and their families the next steps into adult cardiology. I've only met him a few times, but have been very impressed with his knowledge and compassion.
All proceeds made from this collection of stories and poems, will go towards research and education for this program.
I am currently working on getting into all sales channels, but it will take a few days to complete the process. However, you can purchase the anthology in paperback and in ebook through createspace and smashwords. Don't worry, you WILL be able to purchase ebooks directly through barnes and noble and amazon kindle over the next 48 hours. I will post those links when they become available 🙂
Here are the links:
For paperback (priced at $13.00): https://www.createspace.com/3705329
For Smashwords e-copies (all formats) (priced at $4.99): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/169183

New title suggestions for Luney Writers anthology
As most of you know, I have been putting together an anthology where I am going to be donating all the proceeds to the pediatric cardiology office in the Cohen Children's Medical Center of NY (formerly LIJ).
Presently, the anthology is called Luney Writers. However, I've been doing a lot of thinking, and have come to realize that this title just does not flow well with what the anthology is about. It contains 30 poems and short stories, and should be available in ebook and paperback come the beginning of June.
I have created a poll after discussing the potential title changes with the participating members. Now it is up to you to help us decide which title you like better! Remember to say the title with "An Anthology" at the end of it.
Thanks for your help!

Arizona's supreme court requires online travel companies, or OTCs, to pay local taxes on the revenue they receive for arranging hotel stays in the state. The court determined that OTCs do not qualify as being in the business of operating a hotel and thus found that the local privilege tax on hotels didn't apply.
Breen spoke with Tax Notes regarding her disappointment about the Arizona supreme court's definition of what constitutes hotel operation but does support the court's decision to retroactively apply the tax. She argues that guidance needs to be published in order to be effective.
"Arizona High Court Says Online Travel Companies Owe Local Taxes" by Paul Jones and Andrea Muse at Tax Notes was published 9/11/19.

Actor Michael Biehn (Corporal Hicks) appeared in person at an Aliens Tribute in Omaha this weekend. The event, held by film historian Bruce Crawford, is one of many that Crawford hosts twice a year to honor classic films and raise money for local charities, in this case the Nebraska Kidney Foundation. Biehn answered questions for nearly thirty minutes before the screening of a new 35mm print of James Cameron's sci-fi masterpiece, which earned seven Academy Award nominations back in 1986. Biehn then met with fans in the lobby of the Joslyn Art Museum, where he signed autographs and posed for pictures. The event came one year after Crawford paid tribute to Ridley Scott's original Alien, which featured special guest Alien co-star Veronica Cartwright in person.

Matthew Scudder prowls the streets of New York City for the fourth time in A Stab in the Dark. By now the character has been firmly established: Matt is an ex-cop who left the force under tragic circumstances and who now works unofficially as a private detective. He doesn't have a license; he doesn't pay taxes, and he doesn't fill out paperwork. But sometimes he does a "favor" for a friend and the "friend" shows her or her gratitude by giving Matt money.
He also drinks. Heavily by this point. But he refuses to consider himself an alcoholic and insists that he could stop anytime he wants to. He doesn't want to yet, even though he now experiences periodic blackouts. But still, his drinking is not yet interfering with his ability to get the job done.
Insurance executive Charles F. London needs a "favor." Nine years earlier, his daughter, Barbara Ettinger, was viciously stabbed to death, apparently by a maniac who was known as the Ice Pick Killer and who claimed seven other victims. Finally, by a stroke of luck, the madman has now been captured. The only problem is that, while he admits to the seven other killings, he insists that he did not kill Ettinger. He also has an iron-clad alibi for the time Ettinger was murdered, given that he was in custody on that day.
London had come to whatever peace he could find, assuming that his daughter's death was simply an inexplicable piece of bad luck. Now, though, his world is upended again when it appears that Barbara was killed perhaps for a reason and that the murderer is still at large. The cops claim there's nothing they can do, given the time that has elapsed, and so London walks into Armstrong's saloon and asks Scudder to take on the job. Scudder agrees, although he tells London that the odds are very slight. The trail will be just as cold for him as it is for the cops, and he doesn't even have their official standing.
Scudder then does what Scudder does. After depositing ten percent of the fee in a church's Poor Box, he begins pounding the streets, tracking down his pathetically thin leads and fortifying himself with more than the occasional drink, for "maintenance" purposes of course. He's an enormously intriguing character and, as is always the case in this series, the plot is interesting and well-developed. As in the first three books, it's great fun walking the streets of the big city with Matthew Scudder, although by this point one can't help but be increasingly concerned for his health and well-being.
A word of caution: Anyone interested in dipping into this series would be very well-advised to start with the first book, The Sins of the Fathers. Trust me when I say that you want to be on this ride from the very beginning.

The Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV) organizes the first Istanbul Design Biennial (IDB) in its 40th year. The IDB covers the fields of urban design, architecture, industrial design, graphic design, fashion design and new media design as well as relevant creative products and projects.
Until the 12th of December the IDB hosts over 100 projects by nearly 300 designers and architects from 46 countries. Using two different exhibition venues curators Emre Arolat and Joseph Grima interpret the theme "Imperfection" from their own perspectives. The theme of the IDB was adopted after the suggestion of Deyan Sudjic, member of its Advisory Board and Director of Design Museum in London. Sudjic stated: "There is nowhere better to explore it than in Istanbul, a city of infinite layers, charged with the vitality that comes from engaging rapid urban, social and cultural change." Sudjic also highlighted that "Istanbul as a city, is far from perfect, yet it is one of the most exhilarating and dynamic centres in the world. Its special quality is that it makes so much from the imperfect, the inexact and the provisional. "
The Istanbul Design Biennial is transforming the great city of Istanbul into a city of design during two months by presenting academy programme, workshop exhibitions, seminar programme, film screenings, parallel participant programmes, like SALON/, and design walks as well as both main exhibitions.
'Musibet' curated by Emre Arolat at Istanbul Modern
One of the two main exhibitions of the IDB is located at the Istanbul Modern, a venue designed by EAA-Emre Arolat Architects. This exhibition is named 'Musibet' and curated by Emre Arolat. 'Musibet' congregates more than 30 projects of 165 designers and architects, displaying multiple faces of grand transformations continuously being realized in Istanbul, as well as in many other geographies. The exhibition aims to question the self-styled-marvellous legitimacy of the arguments of design activities in this context.

'Adhocracy' curated by Joseph Grima at Galata Greek primary school
The other main exhibition is hosted by the Galata Greek Primary School and reunites 60 projects by 120 designers and architects. 'Adhocracy', curated by Joseph Grima in collaboration with an international team, surveys the contemporary design scene in the wake of a wave of social and technological revolutions that have transformed the realm of desing in recent years. The exhibition argues that rather than in finished products, the maximum expression of design today is to be found in processes-system, tools, networkds and platforms that involve users in the process of definition of the end products. The exchitbtion charts the mirgration of the epicenter of production from the factory floor to back to the craftsman's workshop. The title, Adhocracy, is a reference to the move away from the dominance of the bureaucratic model of organization, typical of the indurstrial era, towards an apporoach that embraces bottom-up innovation.

The Goddamn Comedy Jam has changed founder Josh Adam Meyers' life and now it's about to change yours…or at least an hour of it. If you haven't had the chance to catch the two year old runaway hit show in LA, New York, Montreal or Austin, it will soon be a one hour special on Comedy Central. You could wait around for it to air, or you can be a part of history and grab free tickets to the June 21 filming in Los Angeles ().
The show brings the old adage that "Every rock star wants to be a comedian and every comedian wants to be a rock star" literally to life, allowing comedians to do comedy, tell stories, and perform with a professional band (mostly comprised of members of local LA favorite Elemenopy). The special will feature Adam DeVine, one of the very first performers to ever hop on the Jam's mic, repeat favorite Jim Jefferies, and hotshots Pete Davidson, Natasha Leggero and Jay Pharoah.
The monthly at the Lyric Theater in Hollywood is more than just a show, it's an event. But Josh isn't worried about translating that live heat to the television. "Not at all, we've got a great team at Comedy Central who get it. I don't want to change anything and neither do they. And we have one of their best directors, Joel Gallen."
"This is the god's honest truth, man, this whole thing is blowing me away. It just keeps moving and I never expected any of it, I literally just started it because I wanted to have fun once a month. The fact that people are really digging it and the network is so behind it is incredible. It's just a gift, man. I did it the industry's way for six and a half years and I got some shine off it but nothing was really changing. So then I was like, 'Before I give up, let me just try this show out'"
"I remember Byron Bowers coming up to me after the first show and in his slow Atlanta drawl said, 'You know what's about to happen, right? This shit's about to change your life, baby.' And he called it. So many of us think this showcase or that thing is gonna change my life, but it never works out that way. You literally have to say, 'I do standup comedy because I love it and I don't expect anything beside loving something so much.' And that was the key to this, it's not about the success we might get, it's solely based around the audience having a good time. And if they're having a good time, I'm having a great time."
Tickets to the filming are available through 1iota, or follow The Goddman Comedy Jam on Facebook and Twitter for updates on upcoming shows in LA, Bonnaroo, DC and Montreal.

Dubai is a city that must be seen to be believed. Record-breaking architecture stands alongside traditional quarters, while man-made islands jut out of the coastline.
The once-obscure city of Dubai, has now become one of the world's most beautiful metropolis and its skyline is one of the most futuristic. In 2018, almost 18 million tourists travelled to Dubai, whether it was to shop for some of the world's best brands, to escape the winter blues or for business or simply to enjoy the luxury of staying in a hotel in Dubai .
Amazing hotels in Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Dazzling, evocative and futuristic in equal measures, Dubai is famously home to some of the world's most expensive hotels, gasp-inducing shopping malls and theme parks and headline-grabbing mega projects such as its palm-shaped islands complete with shiny, soaring buildings.
See below these amazing hotels in Dubai
Dubai is now catering to an increasingly hip and creative crowd, with pockets of cool and arty neighbourhoods cropping up such as Dubai's new 'Design District.'
To help you choose the perfect accommodation for your Dubai stay, here are the best cool and unusual hotels to choose, from the glamorous and unique to the creative, quirky and hip…
Here are the top places to tick off your sightseeing list when you're in Dubai
Elephant Clock, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
A faithful reproduction of Al-Jazari's enormous water clock.Built over five months to exacting diagrams in an original 13th century manuscript, the elaborate elephant-shaped water clock at the Ibn Battuta mall in Dubai is a tribute to 800 year old engineering brilliance.
Timekeeping had special role in the Muslim faith, allowing followers to more accurately know the five times for prayer in the absence of a call to prayer. In Al-Jazari's time, the Islamic empire had reached new heights, covering most of North Africa, Europe, and Asia. The technology of simple water clocks dates back to Babylonia, Ancient Egypt, and Greece, and less complicated examples of water clocks were used throughout the Muslim world to help keep time.
Dubai Miracle Garden, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
With classic Dubai opulence, the Middle Eastern city has established what is possibly the largest flower garden in the world at the Dubai Miracle Garden.
Billed as the "largest natural flower garden in the world" this Middle Eastern show field has little competition at 45 million flowers. Planted on over 775,000 square feet of land, the garden creates massive designs and shapes using fields and flowerbeds using a seemingly impossible 45 million separate flowers.
The miraculous growing project is especially impressive in that it exists in Dubai's harsh desert climate. The caretakers of the garden claim that the growth is possible through the careful re-use of wastewater and irrigation that uses the drip method as opposed to a more wasteful spray method.
Ski Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This indoor ski resort has a mountain contained inside a mall.
ust because you are in one of the hottest cities in the world doesn't mean that you shouldn't be allowed to have a nice ski. Since snow is kind of hard to come by in Dubai, they went ahead and just built a snowy mountain inside of their giant mall.The temperature in the facility is maintained at a crisp 30 degrees during operation thanks to a sophisticated insulation system that counteracts the sun's best efforts. The temperature is dropped in the evening so that they can make fresh new snow for their unnatural resort.
The World Islands, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
This artificial archipelago was supposed to resemble a map of the world.
Dubai is famous for its luxurious Palm Islands, the easily recognizable manmade archipelago off of the city's coast. Based on the Palm's success, Dubai's ruler, Sheikh Maktoum, envisioned an even bolder archipelago project in 2003: a group of islands shaped like a map of the world. Unlike the Palm Islands, however, it seems the World Islands may have been a disaster of global proportions.Located just three miles off the coast of Dubai, the 300 islands that made up the World Islands are supposed to resemble a world map when viewed from above. Unfortunately for the islands' developers, the archipelago turned out to be only vaguely recognizable. Due to weathering, sinking, and erosion, the World Islands have lost their well-defined borders. Central America is practically nonexistent, Australia is awkwardly made up of five rectangular strips of sand, and Europe, Africa, and Asia have merged into a largely indistinguishable blob.
Burj Al Arab, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
A preposterously luxurious hotel with gold-plated iPads, Rolls Royce chauffeurs, and a staff that trains by watching "Downton Abbey."Located on a manmade island off the coast of Dubai, the Burj Al Arab is the third tallest hotel in the world, and, according to some, the most luxurious place to stay on the planet—dubbed "the world's only seven star hotel."
Built for $1 billion and standing at 56 floors tall, the shape of the Burj Al Arab is modeled after the sail of a J-Class yacht, and its features are no less extravagant; a room will run you between $2,700 and $24,000 per night.
The luxurious Burj Al Arab experience begins even before entering the hotel. Hotel guests are greeted at Dubai International Airport by their choice of a chauffeur-driven Rolls Royce or a lift from a helicopter. Those who choose the latter will land on a helipad suspended at the very top of the hotel, a platform that was converted to a tennis court in 2005 to host an epic match between Andre Agassi and Roger Federer.
Dubai Gold Souk, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
On any given day this sprawling market houses literally tons of government-regulated gold, gems, and precious metals.
Golden fixtures, doorknobs, phones, or any other everyday object made of the precious metal is nothing new in the United Arab Emirates. So it should come as no surprise that one of the biggest gold markets in the world is in Dubai, the country's largest city.

The Dubai Frame, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
The world's largest frame offers spectacular views of the city's past and present.
The Dubai Frame is an iconic structure that "frames" impressive views of Old and New Dubai. The world's largest frame, it serves as a massive, metaphorical bridge that connects the emirate's past with its opulent present.The landmark celebrates Dubai's history, from its humble beginnings to its current glamor and prestige. Look north, and you'll see Dubai's older, more historic neighborhoods framed within the great shiny structure. Look south, and you'll see the modern, glitzy buildings and flashy skyscrapers for which the city is so famous.

Pavle Beljanski : biography
Pavle Beljanski (Veliko Gradište, 19 June 1892 – Belgrade, 14 July 1965) was a Serbian lawyer and diplomat, art lover and great connoisseur, collector who acquired the most complete collection of Serbian paintings from the first half of the 20th century, and by giving it to Serbian people, became one of its greatest contributors.
He attended high school in Belgrade, where he also studied law until the beginning of World War I, when he left for Paris. He graduated at the Sorbonne and began post-graduate studies there as well. He started his diplomatic career in Stockholm, and continued it in Warsaw, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, Rome and Belgrade. Residing in European capitals between World Wars, he was in a position to study the greatest works of art and to meet famous persons like Jovan Dučić, Ivo Andrić, Rastko Petrović, Milutin Milanković, Veljko Petrović, Isidora Sekulić, as well as the artists whose works will constitute a part of his collection: Milan Konjović, Kosta Hakman, Milo Milunović, Sreten Stojanović, Jefto Perić and Marino Tartalja. All this inspired his passion for collecting art. At first, he was interested in European, mostly Renaissance art, but he realized that the first-class artworks of the Old Masters were beyond his reach. While spending time with young artists, he concentrated on contemporary art. After a while, his collection of paintings, sculptures, tapestries and drawings of at that time relatively unknown authors grew into a unique collection of exquisite works of art. Tragic circumstances – the death of seven members of his family during the bombing of Svilajnac in 1944, – left Beljanski without the possibility of sharing the beauty of his collection with his dearest, so he decided to donate it to the Serbian people.
The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection
The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection bears the name of its founder and contributor Pavle Beljanski, a great art collector, who donated his collection of paintings, sculptures and tapestries to the Serbian people in November 1957, according to a special contract with the Government of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina. He continued to add works of art to this significant collection until the end of his life and according to the latest inventory, it consists of 185 works by 37 authors. The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection was opened to the public on October 22, 1961.
The Memorial Collection is situated in a new building, specifically designed by architect Ivo Kurtović for the purpose of housing the art collection. The building was built in 1961 and in October of the same year, it opened to public under the name of The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection. The great architectural value of the structure was achieved through the architect's good evaluation of its specific requirements which he organized into a functional whole.
Permanent Exhibition
When Beljanski started collecting works of art, most of the artists whose works he collected were anonymous young people at the beginning of their carriers. This underlined the importance of the willingness and ability of Pavle Beljanski to recognize quality and choose works of art which would, in years to come, gain the most important place in studies of the Serbian art of the first half of the 20th century.
Artist's Memorial Hall
The Artist's Memorial Hall was founded in 1971 and it consists of portraits and self-portraits, as well as documented material about artists whose works are included in the collection (photographs, letters, personal documents and objects used by artists in the process of making art – brushes, paints, palettes).
This Memorial Collection consists mainly of the first-class works of Serbian art from the period between the first and the seventh decades of the 20th century, with an emphasis on the period between WWI and WWII. Therefore, the collection chronologically begins with the paintings of the first generation of Modernists (Nadežda Petrović, Milan Milovanović, Kosta Miličević), and continues with the works of the most esteemed representatives of Serbian art between the two World Wars (Sava Šumanović, Milan Konjović, Petar Dobrović, Ivan Radović, Jovan Bijelić, Petar Lubarda, Sreten Stojanović, Risto Stijović), and artists from the second half of 20th Century (Zora Petrović, Liza Križanić, Živko Stojsavljević, Milenko Šerban, Ljubica Sokić). The Memorial Collection is also equipped with a library and a large archive, containing various items such as sketches, paintings, sculptures, letters, documents, photographies and video tapes.

Regarding COVID-19: Please recreate responsibly and practice social distancing. Closures and travel restrictions are changing rapidly, always check and respect local regulations.
Originally added by John Maurizi
This short easy trail is located at the end of a dirt road in Tierra del Fuego National Park. The wide trail follows the Rio Pipo upstream to a viewing platform overlooking a narrow whitewater section of the river called "The Cascade."
From the parking area, walk through a make-shift barrier with the river on your right hand side. The start of the trail looks as part of a dirt road, this is the correct way. There are some great photo opportunities with the mountains towering over the river in the background. Near the end, the trail enters a forest and soon there is a viewing deck for the cascade. Not that impressive but an easy out and back. The highlight is the scenic river and background of the mountains.

Microsoft Dynamics GP and Craft Beer… What do THEY have in common?!?!
Well, in all honesty you would think not much! Personally, as a huge fan of specialty craft beers, as well as having an extensive background in Finance and Accounting… I wanted to find out for myself.
Take a step back for a minute. If you are in the brewing industry you know that you need to have both a perfect recipe for your new brew and a way to show you how your development, production, manufacturing and sales are moving your brewery FORWARD. Real time insight from raw materials to finished packaging is essential. Production based on actual demand is critical for making financial and purchasing decisions.
As a brewer or brewery executive you know that as you mature, your brewery cannot survive with QuickBooks, Peachtree, or other entry-level accounting software any longer. You need to give your people the tools they need to make you successful. By implementing Microsoft Dynamics GP which integrates directly with your recipe manufacturing software, your processes will be simplified. Brewers need to focus on what they do best… brew craft beer. Tidestone Solutions is a Microsoft Dynamics GP partner who KNOWS your business and can get you away from maintaining spreadsheets and help you build solid business processes. We can implement your financial and manufacturing software.
Allagash Brewing is already experiencing the benefit of Microsoft Dynamics GP and VicinityBrew software. Here is what they had to say…
"We partnered with the Tidestone team because of their long term experience with our current financial system, Dynamics GP, and the introduction to the VicinityBrew software which will enhance our current financial system, while adding new tools and better visibility throughout our brewing operations. Tidestone is a great fit with our brewery culture and has been fantastic to work with in the implementation process, and beyond. " – Erin MacGregor- Forbes, Controller for Allagash Brewing

I found a community of mommies that truly understand the demands of motherhood and the passion for blogging. We share the same love for our kids and perhaps the eagerness to let them have fun the best way possible. We are the type of parents who write about those fun events, too.
Two Saturdays ago, we met over some overflowing hotdogs, chocolates, and chips. We just celebrated an early Halloween Party. Real fun, boisterous laughter, and heartfelt exchanges of hellos, how are yous, and 'til we see each other again filled the room. Everybody went home tired but definitely happy. Again, we have something to blog about.

SEO is a field not short on info overload. I've just sat down to do research on SEO for this blog. Three hours later I've come to this conclusion: I'm doing it all wrong, and if I'm doing it right, I'll have no life.
So to do it right, this is what I've learned:
• Get a real domain name and host a wordpress blog on that domain. Why? Better search engine rankings. Don't do what I'm doing here, ie letting wordpress.com host the blog.
• Start a podcast to point people to your blog. Register the podcast with all the directories. Point them back to your site.
• Start a squidoo, wikipedia, guru.com page and point people to your blog. Why? To become known as the expert in your field
• Create a video about your blog and post it through TubeMogul to at least 12 video hosting sites. Make sure the blog is mentioned and it's URL is prominent in the video
• Log onto Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, etc., from three different computers and start a conversation about your blog in the forums, comment pages, etc.
• Use social bookmarking pages to point people to your site. Digg, del.ic.ous, stumbleupon, etc.
• Write and register your blog posts in article directories to drive traffic from those directories back to your website.
• Do not start a website, rather start a blog, give away content for free and charge for speaking engagements and forgoe the headache of a blog.
• Create a membership site to which you can re-route the subscribers to your blog via a newsletter. Think about the next three products you will market to the members and start creating them now.
• Fire your PR firm and get the traffic yourself by doing all the above.
I'm drifting a little here. The choices are bewildering. I'm looking for clear sources to help focus my efforts in a helpful, focused way.
To be continued…
