DailyBlogTips.com Project: 48 Experiences of Blogging Mistakes

April 2, 2007

Being a blog owner, I read dailyblogtips.com every day. A couple weeks ago, I found that Dan was running a project to collect stories of mistakes we bloggers have committed in the past, how we fixed them, and what we learned from them.

If you’ve been following Clever Dude for at least 2 months, you might remember when I “made it big” on Lifehacker with my wife’s Frugal Lunch post. I also made a booboo and used a picture from Flickr without attributing it to the owner. I learned a little bit about Creative Commons that day. I wrote a post about my experience (see list below) that fits perfectly with Dan’s theme, so I submitted it right away. Turns out I was one of the first submissions, so my post is near the top.

I plan on reading through each one of these articles as I don’t want to commit the same mistakes myself (if I already haven’t). I invite you to do the same:

    I decided to use iStockPhoto for creatives. They’re fairly cheap. I’m not expecting my blog to take off like the other excellent blogs out there (I just might not find the time and dedication like you guys), but the things I like to do, I do them well… So decided that the expense will be worth if I can get the quality I’m expecting.

    The term ‘sales representative’ can mislead, since in any network marketing company, the ‘sales representative’ is actually just a distributor with her own interests in mind.
    It really is reality and it can happen to you but you have to
    know where to get the best education out there so that
    you can get the very best possible results. One thing that is great for
    a woman to work with is beauty products.

    Last year brought something new to our fiendish twitchy fingers, Bejeweled Blitz.
    So check your filename extensions to make sure that it is in the mp3 format.
    And in Zuma Atlantis 2 your objective is to match up three
    or more of the same type of icons.
