real blogging tips

I started this weekly Monday post on one of my other blogs “TheRandomForest.com” but as I will be putting much of my attention here on this site I thought that it would be cool to migrate the idea over here.

Mondays are always hard for me. Even though I no longer keep a completely rigid work schedule conditioning throughout my childhood and early working years have led my head to believe that Monday morning is the worst time of the week, so whenever I start my work on a Monday morning I always crank up the music, reply to the personal emails that I missed on the weekend and then dive head first into my work schedule…. Music is a big motivation for me and it always sets me on the right track for the week.

I think everyone should listen to music whilst blogging and working online….. It definitely keeps me going when I have been working long hours and need to finish that last post.

David Bowie: The Man Who Sold The World

The Man Who Sold The World – Lyrics:

We passed upon the stair, we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn’t there, he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone, a long long time ago

Oh no, not me
I never lost control
You’re face to face
With The Man Who Sold The World

I laughed and shook his hand, and made my way back home
I searched for form and land, for years and years I roamed

I gazed a gazely stare at all the millions here
We must have died alone, a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You’re face to face
With the Man who Sold the World

The nirvana version of this song was the first song to pop up this morning on my LastFM radio player but I thought it would be cool to give credit to the original. I love this song in both the Nirvana and Bowie varieties and it’s definitely set me in a good mood for the upcoming day.

What music motivates you to get on with things?

This week on Real Blogging Tips I am hoping to bring you a video on how to update to the latest version of wordpress. This is easy but I noticed a few of my readers being a little shy about it.

I also plan to bring a post about cloaking your affiliate links and will be planning the post related to changing your blogs URL.

Anything else you would like to see just leave a comment and I will add it to the posting schedule.

I hope you have a great week and I look forward to your comments.

PS: I found a bunch of legit comments hiding in my spam folder, I have approved them all now, will be more vigilant and am going to make sure everyone gets an answer
