Build A Better Blog Day 10This tip is one I have a lot of passion for. I use my mobile MDA to surf the Internet frequently. It's very frustrating when I get to a site that doesn't support mobile web browsers. There's really no excuse for it.

Photowalking SLC v2
Photowalking SLC v1 was on October 5th but the weather was bad, and a number of other excuses, and I didn't make it. What a disappointment. I should have braved the weather.

Build A Better Blog Day 7 There is no better feeling than to be acknowledged by the person who's blog you've commented on. Blogs are interactive and I know from past experience the disappointment when I comment and there is no response. Take the time to ask your readers to comment. Ask them what they think. Ask for opposing or supporting views. But once they have commented take the time to respond back, or at the very least write a response that may cover multiple comments. If you get so lucky that you have a lot of comments...
