SoG Business

by Travis

Several quick housekeeping items here at SoG. First, shameless self-promotion:

• I’m finally starting to get up to speed on how to promote a blog, and I’ve added the blog to Technorati. I’m not entirely sure what that is, but I know it’s supposed to help get the blog more exposure. I’ve added a tag on the sidebar which allows you to mark this as a favorite with Technorati. If you could do that, I’d be very appreciative! Here’s the button, and you can always find it on the sidebar.
  
• iTunes – Currently, the Hog’s Head PubCast ranks 131 (which is way, waaaayy down the list) on iTunes when searching for “Harry Potter” in the podcast section. Thank you, thank you to those who have written such generous and glowing reviews at iTunes. If you haven’t written one yet, and you need to procrastinate on whatever you’re doing, I’d be really grateful if you take a minute, launch your iTunes, go to the store, search for “Hog’s Head PubCast,” and write a review. I’d like to get the podcast a lot higher up on the list.
• Finally, if you know your way around blog promotion – how to get this blog and the podcast more popular – there might just be a new spot on the Blogengamot for you. I’m thinking if we could have someone whose sole job it was to do that sort of thing, it’d be great.

Other assorted items:

• If you have not done so yet, head over to Zossima.com and check out the two new offerings on George MacDonald. I have them in hand and plan to do a couple of review posts in the next month.
• I have a speaking engagement tonight, and some work to get done over the weekend, but I’m hoping to sit down Sunday and record a pubcast. If not this weekend, definitely Wednesday.
• Here is the latest news release from Portus 2008.
