Peace of Mind Organizing

Some tech tips - complete with video!

3 June 2009

Today I was exploring which websites link to mine, something I’m not sure I’ve done before. I’m going through the exercises in the really helpful workbook, 31 Days to Building a Better Blog by Darren Rowse of Problogger (incidentally, if you buy it through the link on this page your whole purchase price will be donated to charity). Today, via one of the exercises, I learned that if you google the following language:

link: www.blogurl.com

(where you replace www.blogurl.com with the URL of the website that you want to research), you get google search results of blogs that have links to yours. Very interesting.

While doing that, I discovered that a short video I did for Organizing Connection in 2008 is up on You Tube. (They were videotaping lots of organizers at the NAPO conference in Reno.) My video tips are about two internet-related services I love, Jott and Tiny URL. Neither of these are revelatory for you, I’m sure, but I still can’t resist sharing the video, particularly since You Tube makes it so easy.

For some strange editing reason, I actually repeat myself in the video (I did a couple of takes), but that only strengthens the message, right?

It’s always astounding to me how hard it is for me to hear my voice on a recording or what myself in a video. I don’t know how people on TV do it,
