If you’ve read my blog at all, you know that I’m always interested in stealing sharing the work of others with my readers. Nathan Bowers has a wonderful podcast interview up on Cubicle Nation where he talks about the basics of blogging, and I highly recommend it.
Here’s part one, and part two. Just click and learn. (And yes, sadly, someone has registered that domain and put up a little dysfunctional website rife with errors and annoying little sound effects.)
You should do what this guy says. He admits right on his blog that “the Internet is hard” so you know he’s a truth-teller. And he’s willing to help you for money, so he’s just like me.
Most useful takeaway? Never use “subscribe” on your RSS feed — use “get updates”. Subscribe means you have to pay money and commit to getting a magazine for twelve months.

I always look at the use of the word “hard” as in “the internet is hard” as a mis-use of a good word. Steel is hard. My kitchen tabletop is hard. Bang on the tabletop with your fist and - it won’t go through! Isn’t that hard? Like impossible?
So what people do is mis-name things that require learning and practice, and possibly mistakes and frustrations. They call them hard. This is like calling marshmallows nutrition-challenged. Sorry - there’s no nutrition there! Maybe that’s a bad analogy. How about calling all pugs stupid? See? Pugs are intelligent, even compared with some people! So let’s just say the internet requires learning and practice, and doing a Drupal website may make mistakes and experience frustration, but it’s not impossible.
