Last Week’s Twitter Winnings

by James Seligman on March 16, 2009

Last week was a pretty good week for me winning stuff on Twitter.

On Thursday I won a copy of Office 2007 Small Business Edition from @OfficeLiveGal from Office Live Small Business for answering a trivia question correctly.

Then on Friday I was notified by my buddy Zac Johnson, that I won a prize in his Week 3 of his Follow Me on Twitter & Win Lots of Prizes!

My prize was 1 month free of PPC Coach, I have heard a lot of great tings about the program and looking forward to checking it out.

Zac still has 2 more weeks of Give-a-Ways, so there is still time to enter so check his site out and enter today.

I wonder what will happen this week?

New Book Read: The New Rules of Marketing & PR

by James Seligman on March 4, 2009

In my quest, okay one of my New Year’s resolution, is to read a book a month for the entire 2009 year, this month choice is:

The New Rules of Marketing and PR by David Meerman Scott

If you want to know more about David check out his blog at http://www.webinknow.com/ or you can follow him on http://twitter.com/dmscott

I have heard and read great things about this book and I am very much looking forward to reading it. If you have read it, please tell me about your thoughts about the book.

Last month’s book was Database Design for Mere Mortals, which was reading as part of my Database Design and Theory class. If you are jus learning about creating databases or a pro, I highly recommend reading this book. Although I didn’t get through the whole thing as of yet, I will certainly be using it as a reference manual.

I’m Back Up and Running!

by James Seligman on February 24, 2009

First off, I want to thank Antonio at Definitive Design Studio for fixing my blog. I am happy to have it back up and running!

So what did happen? Well I wasn’t really paying attention when I was upgrading from 2.6.5 to 2.7.1. I did a new install instead of just the upgrade, which caused me to lose everything, post, comments and everything else.

Luckily I made a back up of my database; what I did is the exact reason that you should always back up your database. So after Antonio and I agreed on a price he completed the entire process in about an hour.

So thanks to Antonio and I appreciate the quick turn around time. Should have some good post coming soon and looking forward to blogging again, even if nobody is reading it.

I will not be at ASW09

by James Seligman on January 8, 2009

I haven’t updated in awhile, but I have received some emails about attending Affiliate Summit in Vegas this coming weekend.

Sorry to say, but I will not be attending. I just started a new quarter at school this week and I am knee deep into a new project away from affiliate marketing. This project is taking up most of my time and I am still working out some of the kinks.

I hope you all have fun there! Be safe and have a drink on me!
