Before I go any further in this post, I’d like to make a few things crystal clear. I was not given a “review copy” of Thesis. I bought the theme. I forget where I’d first heard about it, but I believe it was a tweet by copyblogger. I saw it, liked it, bought it, tweaked it and played with it. I like the theme… thus why I am using it, went back and bought a developers license so I can use it on other sites and you’re damn right I am linking to it with affiliate links.

Ok, so, I have been doing a little redesigning on Sugarrae as you all hae probably noticed and I added the user photo plugin. The plugin will show pictures for commenters and authors - and since I have a lot of guest posts, I went to grab some photos of my guest posters from Twitter so all the posts would show author photos. But, the “green brigade” has invaded Twitter (which means everyone tinted their photos green today) and I went to view the Google cache of Reese’s twitter page, hoping to find the non green picture of her to use for her profile picture here on Sugarrae. And I was beyond confused at what I saw (click images to see large versions): [click to continue reading...]
Anytime someone asks how a business can use Twitter effectively, most people point to the twitter accounts of big brands like Comcast and Zappos. While both companies are definitely standout examples of how you can use Twitter for business, you probably aren’t marketing a household name and have a hard time seeing how your small merchant site or information site can use Twitter effectively. And by now, you’re probably sick of the “top ways” people guess or hypothesize that a commercial website could use Twitter to their advantage. [click to continue reading...]
Let me start off by summing up this entire post in one sentence for those of you busy actually doing some productive shit today (which I usually am):
This “community” is fucked and way too wrapped up in its own communal and deluded level of self importance and needs to get a life. [click to continue reading...]
As you can see, there is a new design for the Sugarrae site. It is a customization of the awesome Thesis wordpress theme (and you’re damn right that’s an affiliate link… I obviously thought it was good enough to actually pay for it). It has some fantastic options to it and since I am not PHP inclined, it was a very smart purchase for me. [click to continue reading...]
Yeah just when you thought you were gonna get an amazing update on some SEO knowledge - you get me, Michael Streko. Not only am I the official Sugarrae fanboy, but I still have my guest whore password and I decided to light some fire under Rae’s ass. [click to continue reading...]
So, it has been almost three months since I’ve blogged, but I saw two videos that absolutely kicked ass re: Twitter that I felt the need to share. They’re made by Lisa Donovan under the screen name Lisa Nova (p.s. it’s a shame that her real site ranks #9 for her name with a few imposters and some universal search taking the higher slots). I seriously suggest that you’re not drinking any beverages while watching:
Its that kid again, Michael Streko - the one who was unable to write a post because of some crappy car accident, remember it could have been awesome? Well guess what - its going to be awesome. While Rae is out drinking speaking at the SMX I have invaded her blog for the guestwhore post that should have been… [click to continue reading...]
Sunday, the day of god. The day that was bestowed upon me to take a shot of awesomeness & go down in history as the last guestwhore for guestwhore week round 2. My name is Michael Streko - I work for a SEO company in New York City & a Affiliate Network.
It was going to be amazing, it was going to be ground shattering - the pictures I had made were hysterical, this was my in! At conferences everyone would know me - they would ask to take pictures with me & ask for me to autograph random body parts. [click to continue reading...]
