Catching up on my morning reading, I bumped into Thursday’s smart piece Paying Attention to What People Are Posting On Your Blog and it sparked a realization of my own: one of the best gifts I give the readers of my blog is to be aggressive with the delete button on comments.

By on September 23, 2011
Ah, the good old days. Blogs were a world unto themselves and if we bloggers did anything related to social media it was purely to post URLs and hope that it’d help drive some traffic our way.

Love your Blog? I suggest not…
By on August 29, 2010
Earlier this evening Alli wrote a thought-provoking posting here entitled Overheard on #Blogchat: Love Your Blog! but the more I think about it, the more I think that’s not such good advice after all. Let me explain before y’all get your knickers in a twist… I find a lot of personal blogs to be boring. … [Read more]
How do You Become a Film Blogger?
By on April 5, 2010
When I talk with my friends, I realize that I might just have the best blogging gig in the world with my Dave On Film blog. Every week I get email from the major movie studios and their agencies, inviting me to special screenings of motion pictures large and small, and every day I get … [Read more]
Blogworld Speaker Interviews: Patrick O’Keefe
By on October 1, 2008
Yeah, I know, I’m a bit late with this one. Somehow Patrick’s interview fell through the cracks but he’s an interesting chap and I wanted to get this out. So let’s just secretly agree we’ll pretend this was posted just before the Expo, not afterwards, okay? Q: In two sentences, highlight your background and professional … [Read more]

How to walk from the LV Hilton to Blogworld Expo
By on September 18, 2008
Yeah, on first read this seems like a daft sort of posting because the Las Vegas Hilton is immediately adjacent to the Las Vegas Convention Center. Except the LVCC is over three million square feet, more than a mile across, and you can’t get from the north side to the south side without stepping outside. … [Read more]

By on September 18, 2008
You’re coming to Blogworld and New Media Expo 2008 here in Las Vegas. In fact, you might already be here. But how do you keep track of what’s going on, who is meeting up at what bars or nightclubs, what parties are happening, and even which talks at the conference are worth joining and which … [Read more]
Are Spammy Comments Inevitable?
Hang on, I’m not going to talk about the spam and junk comments we get on our blogs because that’s long since been discussed to death and while it’s managed by Akismet and such, it’s just a fact of life. Even with those tools, I still get 5-10 clearly spam comments on AskDaveTaylor every night … [Read more]
