Re: WP Engine serves 20M visitors a day, hires new CEO to feed ‘hyper-growth’ (exclusive)

Have you taken a look at WordPress's VIP pricing structure? Makes WP Engine seem a little more affordable, don't you think? :)

Re: WP Engine serves 20M visitors a day, hires new CEO to feed ‘hyper-growth’ (exclusive)

WP Engine seems to be on a great path to success, and leading the way for companies to easily have WordPress sites that give a great first impression.

PS. You referred to Heather as both the COO and CEO in the article, I believe she is the CEO.

Re: The State Of Filtering

Matthew Kettlewell — Tue, 09 Jul 2013 16:37:27 -0000

I didn't see it, but is tag filtering going to be an option? I don't use categories at all ( other than the default required one), and choose to use tags instead...

either way, pretty excited about this... oh, and is there going to be an affiliate page for this?

This is functionality that has been missing for a long time... I have a blog right now that will benefit... very exciting!!

Re: Outlook is nice, but it's no Gmail [review]

Matthew Kettlewell — Wed, 01 Aug 2012 14:04:07 -0000

Is this online version of Outlook to replace the desktop version of Outlook? Seems almost like they might be moving away from desktop apps with this...

Saw your tweet on Twitter... nice post on SEO tips... very simple and easy to understand.

Re: How to Install the IE6 and IE7 on Fedora11

I guess it's cool that you've got IE running on your system, but, really, will you use it? I know I wouldn't :)

Now that Chrome is working smoothly, I don't hardly even use FireFox....

Re: Facebook Like Button Plugin

Matthew Kettlewell — Fri, 07 May 2010 09:39:51 -0000

Turns out that I just needed to grab a new set of code from FB. They changed things from the last time I grabbed a widget from them.... I used the iframe version of things, but they have a FBML version as well that I could have used... thanks for the plugin, it's working great.

Matthew Kettlewell — Thu, 06 May 2010 21:19:09 -0000

I've got your plugin working (big thanks too)... but there is interference with the sidebar code from FB to display my FB page updates.... is there something special I need to get FB code and your plugin to play nicely?

Re: Google Chrome is Getting Unbelievably Fast

Matthew Kettlewell — Wed, 05 May 2010 19:24:23 -0000

I've been using Chrome exclusively for about 6 months now, and have seen the speed improvements over the others hands down.... This is the first I've heard of the new beta, so I'm off to make some upgrades and excited to reap the benefits.

Thanks for the updates and sharing the videos.

Re: Twitter for 'Really' Busy People

I've been pretty satisfied with hootsuite for creating similar columns.... TweetDeck requires Air, and I seem to have problems with it periodically... besides, I'm more of a "cloud" person now, and like the ability to just login where ever I am and check up on things.

Re: How to Use Tweetups as a Marketing Strategy

Matthew Kettlewell — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:28:43 -0000

In Grand Junction, CO we've been using the TwtVite service ( http://twtvite.com/ ) that is a free service and allows us to print out labels just like you were talking about.

We used to have a Tweetup a couple times a month... now that springs here, it's time for me to organize another one!

Re: Online Business Tip: Ask These 4 Questions, Stand Back And Watch…

Matthew Kettlewell — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 22:14:58 -0000

Clarity... conducting business with a purpose. That just makes sense.

I also like your take on testing multiple ideas by split testing ads and sales pages to identify the proper message and target audience.

what you're saying isn't new, outrageous nor complex.

.... It is simple wisdom that every successful business owner must listen to and apply if they want to compete. Some of us must hear the message many times and from many sources before we really believe that what you're saying isn't some big "secret magic trick"

To everlasting success and happiness -

Matt

Re: WEEKEND POLL: How Much Time Do You Spend Online?

30 hours per week online x 4 weeks ~120 hours per month... I still have to do real work, like write blog posts ;)

For SEO, I'm still a fan of HeadSpace2.

I also use the commentluv plugin to help encourage people to want to post comments. Great for helping spread other peoples blog content too.

For anti-spam, I use the wp-spam plugin, and find it really simple, and no registration.

Great plugin article... sums up what a wordpress blog should have for plugins.

Re: Twitter’s platform shortcomings

Matthew Kettlewell — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 15:31:40 -0000

Has anyone seriously considered buying tr.im? I mean, what sort of "token sum" are they talking about.

I would love to buy tr.im and monetize it, get the stats back up, and make a long-term commitment to loyal fans.

Integrating this with an app that stores tweets back past thousands might be nice too ;)

I seriously think that tr.im was just not well prepared with a business plan for monetizing it ... I've thought about this a lot over the last 24 hours, and have found several monetizing plans for a URL shortener, so I'm not sure what happened with tr.im.

Almost seems as if he thought he could sell the system to someone, but forgot that people want to buy something that makes money, not something that is designed to eat the money.

Re: Flustered by Fake Friendly Comments

Matthew Kettlewell — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 10:09:02 -0000

Interesting to have your email post sent to me today, after I just went through a slew of comments that are extremely real looking, but generic at the same time.

Blog commenters ( as foreign outsourcing for SEO value only) are giving legitimate commenters a bad rap, and making it difficult to weed out because they are coming up with phrases that fit 95% of any situation, sound legitimate, and generally make a blog owner/author feel good about themselves and the job that they are doing with their blog.

As long as the comment sounds loosely real, and the URL isn't too spammy, I'll usually keep it, but I don't have near as many comments to pick and chose from as you do, Michel :)

Yet again, another great post!*

Great job!

Re: 45 Creative, Clever And Effective Blog Taglines

Matthew Kettlewell — Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:31:02 -0000

Great mix of headlines...

I'd say that the headline/tagline is the number one most important piece to draw in an audience.

I personally use bizzarre and almost controversial headlines, but you have a list of very catchy and clever and tasteful headlines that I can learn from...

which is the key for everyone here, read and learn how to do this on your own blog.

David -

Nice post about fear. Fear is like anything else... .you need to make a decision on what you're going to do with it. Personally, I tend to stick my pinky toe in the waters of areas that I'm unsure, and then dive head first into whatever endeavor it is that I think is worth the risk.. for some it's walking backwards in water, others it's kayaking off of 186 foot cliffs...

For me, it's all about new experiences, and new opportunities. Scary at first, but worth the end result.

Thanks for sharing David.

The Blob! or how about "The Stuff"?

It's so true.. and this is a great example of a physical product, but services are no different.

Making sure that you deliver what they expect is crucial.... it's the ole "over-deliver" cliche...

cliche or not, it's true.

Thanks for finding "The Blob" for us... it was a great laugh in the office.
