A great post from Matt over at 37signals about how to get publicity. I’ve had a few people write me asking how they can get their blog “out there” — I’d think all of these tips apply equally well to individual bloggers as they do to companies like 37. Visit site »

Once again, my boys back in Lawrence are finalists for several Edgies. LJWorld.com is nominated for Best Overall News Site, Best Design and Site Architecture, and Most Innovative Multimedia Storytelling (for 24 Hours in Lawrence). Additionally, Lawrence.com is a finalist for Best Local Guide or Entertainment Site. Is it just me, or did the Edgies used to hve an award for sports sites?

Anyway, congrats to all the finalists — especially my buddies back in Lawrence. We’ll have to get everyone together and have some drinks — that LJWorld.com redesign we did seemed to pay off! Visit site »

A life long goal of mine is to be mentioned in Wired magazine. Today, I’m in their blog. That’s pretty close, right? It even calls me a “prominent developer.” But most importantly, it quotes me (accurately, even!), dropping an F-bomb. Classy, Jeff. Real classy.

Thanks, Wired. :) Visit site »
