- What is the best way to access the #Blog101 chat?
- -#blog101 I really like Jetpack, but is that the best plug-in for what it does?
- -#blog101 What’s your recommendation for the backup plug in? I’ve played with bei fen, but don’t really like it that much

Of course, as always, you need to make sure that you have FTP and MySQL access to do most of this. #blog101 I’d say backup your site, but really if you can’t even get in…that seems pointless.

Run A Productive Self Audit On Your Blog

Most of us are conscious of good writing and attracting an audience with a ‘sticky’ blog, but to really have the best blog possible you need to do a self-audit. Lots of web ‘authorities’ offer to do deep audits for a couple hundred dollars. While this may be useful further on down the line, you can do your own cheap audit right now.

IF you have a site, why not send out your business emails from [email protected]? It’s a wasted opportunity to get not only your image looking sharp, but your site link out to your clients and contacts.
Why Google Apps
