Hopefully you noticed I changed the look and feel of my blog today. I do my blog customization myself, so still working on it, but am happy. WordPress is great because it makes it so easy to get the functionality you need. I was able to change the look and feel of my entire Web site in less than 10 minutes!
If you’re like me and have more ideas than time, then you’ll enjoy discovering all the new tools that are available these days to make your life simpler and more productive! For example, today I spent about an hour with the experts at HubSpot, learning about all the automated reporting tools clients can use to measure the effectiveness of their inbound marketing campaigns, and, more importantly, what they can do to make their efforts more productive! I was happy to learn a technique that I’m employing right now … turning a blog post out of something you were doing anyway! That’s how we can do more with less!
I shudder to remember the days when I had to literally create unique HTML pages by hand (ugh!) every time I wanted to make a change! Imagine — renaming a tab meant having to go through 20+ pages and rename every link by hand. How archaic! But I digress.
As I type this I’m listening to Mari Smith’s seminar on how to make FANtastic Fan Pages on Facebook, which I’ll use later this afternoon for a Facebook consultation. (I’m also recording it so I can listen to the things I miss later.)
If you’re interested in HubSpot, let me know because I have access to free 30-day trials. HubSpot is very easy-to-use and helps organizations get up to speed with inbound marketing. Contact me if you’d like to learn more, or follow me on Twitter: www.twitter.com/lkinoshita. I changed my theme there, too!
