Finding Content for Your Blog in Unexpected Places
I read many blogs on daily bases via RSS feed in my Google reader and some articles or combinations of them become the base for my next blog post while others help me identify an issue I can build my tutorial on.
Uniqueness of Content is the most crucial part of you blog and while all great blogs have it present I have just finished reading a great post that can be used as direct example how to turn a story from your life into content directly related to your niche.
I’m talking about latest post by Darren Rowse “9 Lessons You Can Learn about Blogging By Watching Me Sell My House”. While the concept is not new – I was amazed how well he managed to turn the story of selling his house into a bloggin lessons.
Highly recommend you visit his post and give it a read. You would be surprised how many ideas will begin to pop into your head fro your next topic on your own [tag-tec]blog[/tag-tec].
Heck I’m already starting to think how to turn my kitchen renovation project into a lesson on making your WordPress more efficient!
… Just kidding but you can see what I’m talking about

Hi there. Got 2 minutes for a question? – please.
At http://garyharvey.net/software/how-to-keep-multiple-computers-synchronized I am getting a >> before the blog title in the title bar. And I want to remove the >>, but how?
Here’s my header.php (with brackets replaced so this shows):
[title]
[?php
if ( is_single() )
{ ?] [? wp_title(); ?] | [? bloginfo('name'); ?] [?php }
else
{ ?] [? wp_title(); ?] [? bloginfo('name'); ?] [? }
?]
[/title]
So the >> are not coming from there. Can you point me in the right direction, please? Thanks.
Gary
FYI, I got this error msg after posting the above.

Thank you. Your comment has been approved.
Note: I removed php output. <– Alex
Gary,
Well, that is normally defined in header.php unless you are using some custom plugin that overwrites that value?
I can help you if you contact me off line and send me information with access to your admin panel (change a password for me temporary). Please use contact form and send me the info and I’ll look at it.

Sure thing Gary,
I wish I would have been more of help but some theme designers don’t follow standard methods and finding things in their creations can be more difficult then looking fr a needle in hay stack …
