Blogging

My friends at Fame Foundry have a couple of excellent articles on SEO (search engine optimization) for you. SEO 101, A Plain English Primer is here. SEO 102, 13 Steps to Improve Your Ranking the Right Way is here.

My friend Donovan Corneetz is not only a superb voice actor, he’s also been learning the joys of being a dad the last several months. He’s started a new website called Daddy Discoveries that chronicles what he’s been learning along the way. Not voiceover related (except that Donovan is a voice actor) but , I think you’ll enjoy reading them.

I have a pretty long blogroll, in case you’ve never noticed. Near the bottom of that very long list is a group called “Other Blogs.” I’ve added one there today called the Beagle Bugle. It’s the official blog of the Wizard Academy. I will be visiting there often. I hope you will too.

And you’re not listed on the VoiceOverXtra blog link page, you should be. And send me a note too. I’m trying to add every voiceover blog to my blogroll.

With my thanks to Nancy Wolfson for emailing the link this morning, check out the superb blog post “Your Copyright Questions Answered” by Amy Everhart, Amy is a trademark, copyright and entertainment attorney.

… Tweet and you …? OK. I’m twisting the old saying to a different purpose than the original. Regardless of what you think of my weak humor, I do hope you’ll take a moment to click through to this excellent commentary by Jeff Sexton about Twitter.

Josh Bernoff interviews Seth Godin about his blogging in an article published on the Ad Age site. If you would like to know how to blog better, you might want to click through and read the interview. On the other hand, if you only want to know how to build a better relationship with you clients, you might want to click through and read the interview. Or not, it’s your call.

My thanks to my friend Pam Tierney for sending me the link to this interview today.

Should you have a blog? We both know that I can’t answer that question for you, but if you seriously want to have a blog, you need to take it seriously.

My friend Stu Gray offers a review of the book 31 Days to Building a Better Blog on his voiceover blog.

I received a very nice email from Kevin Readdean today letting know that he’s started a voiceover blog called VO Meter specifically devoted to monitoring and reporting the history of voiceover and voice actors.

UPDATE: I also ran across another new voiceover blog today, interestingly enough from another voice actor named Kevin. In this case, Kevin Delaney, who calls his blog Voiceover Ninja.
