Friday Roundup

There are few better ways to both connect with fellow bloggers and pass value to your readers then through a well gathered link roundup. This is an area of the Blueprint that can certainly stand some improvement. The next era of the Blueprint will see a round-up published every other Friday.

Enjoy the links, have a wonderful weekend, and we’ll see you next week.

If you haven’t checked out the hottest new WordPress theme, you really need to. It’s awesome, free, and designed by none other than the Blueprint’s own Eric Hamm.

Did you know that WordPress has it’s own URL-shortener built right into the architecture? No! Neither did I, but now I do.

Sean has been wondering for a while if he should stick with Writer Dad or move to Sean Platt for his Twitter name. This post articulates 10 reasons why real names are better.

The categories vs. tags debate has raged since the blogging’s beginnings. The battle continues.

Chris Guillebeau just came to Sean’s attention last week, but he has been wowed with lightning. Chris is awesome, here’s just one reason why.

Though this post is nearly as old as the Blueprint, the subject of making a living with blogging is one we’ve covered quite a few times around these parts.

Remember last week when Twitter was getting all that mainstream attention? Yeah, I know. Who could forget?

Remember when Eric and Sean were on ProBlogger talking about being blogging buddies? Darren did too.

Gary Vaynerchuk is everywhere. Why? Because he’s doing what he loves and waves his passion like a weilded weapon.

Michael Martine has been publishing some deep, meaty posts. This week’s on whether blogs should have a blogroll was a total winner.

See you Monday,

The Blueprint Team
