Just got the latest edition of Ping! Zine at my door yesterday, and I do have to say it is great cover to cover, front to back. Yes, I also had an article in it this month, Website Hosting vs Personal Backup Hosting (check it out on page 46).

The digital version of the newest Ping! Zine magazine is out (paper version coming to a mail box near you soon!) and I have one new article this time around.
In this issue I tackled moving from web host to web host. What you need to do before, during and after the transition when changing web hosting companies.

This is a ‘bit of a good surprise (well it was for me at least). Just found out that the latest edition of Ping! Zine should be in your mail boxes soon and I’ll have two featured articles inside. Be sure to look out for The Web Hoster’s Tool Belt and Firefox for Webmasters while reading this month’s edition. If you don’t have a subscription, you can always pick up the free digital version over at pingzine.com.

I have spend some time here lately trying to figure out exactly how much I write in the span of a year. If you follow any of my other projects or places that I post you probably know I do an awful lot. What is my digital footprint? Well here are some estimates by project:
Lockergnome’s Web Developers
20 Articles in a Month / 6,000 Words in a Month
I would estimate that I write around 300 words per article and I write five articles a week, so that ends up being around, well… a big number. Never realized I go on and on about Web development issues that much!
Lockergnome’s Windows Fanatics
8 Articles in a Month / 2,200 Words in a Month
Here I do 2 articles a week, with around 250 to 300 words per article. For argument’s sake, lets just call it 275. Loads of good freeware reviews there.
Mitchelaneous
20 Articles in a Month / 6,000 Words in a Month
On this fine Web site I do around 5 articles a week at around 300 words per article. Very similar with my numbers for Lockergnome’s Web Developers.
The Web Hosting Show
20 Articles in a Month / 7,000 Words in a Month
Sure, this is my podcast - but there are still a lot of show notes and posts to make. Here I would raise the average length per post to be around 350 per article with 5 posts per week for the hosting podcast.
Firefox Facts
20 Articles in a Month / 5,000 Words in a Month
This one might be a little lower than average since the posts are kind of simple and “quick tips”. At Firefox Facts I try to post 5 times a week and the word count comes in at around 250 per post.
Lunartics
4 Articles in a Month / 1,200 Words in a Month
This is the 1 place I write the least at. When doing my best, I try to have a least 1 post a week (even though I have missed the past 2 weeks because I have been so busy). That 1 post per week is around 300 words.
So what do the final numbers say about how much I go on and on about the topics I like to write about?
In 1 Month I Write 32,800 Words.
In 1 Month I Write 92 Articles or Posts.
In 1 Year I Write 393,600 Words.
In 1 Year I Write 1,104 Articles or Posts.
If the average number of words per page in a book is 250, and the average number of pages per book is 300 then the average book has 75,000 words. With that being said, I will write the equivalent of a little over 5 books (5.348 to be exact) in the span of 1 year. What is your digital footprint? How many books could you have written out of your blogging ways?

Here is my most recent contribution to the Lunartics Lunarpages.com blog. You should really check this place out, it is covering a lot of great topics!
Marketing is one of the things Online that just fascinates me to no end. I love watching it. I love studying it. I love putting it to practice for myself when I can. The truth of the matter is though is that a lot of people out there are either scared of it or intimidated by it. There should be nothing to fear about marketing. It is just the practice of getting yourself out there to the public.
Since there has been a lot of marketing talk here lately, I figured I would chime in. So to help those out there that might fear the practice of marketing, or who might need marketing practice I figured I would put together a do it yourself guide.

Instead of telling you what I see or what I know, I figured I would share with you some of my favorite Web hosting topics of discussion I have seen over the past few weeks. The Web hosting world is anything but boring - even if you have to hunt for the good stuff pretty hard sometimes.
1. “Simplicity is the New Spaghetti” for Both Google and You
Google co-founder Sergey Brin says that success will come from simplicity. Nicholas Carr calls simplicity the new spaghetti and tries to consolidate Google’s many, many products into 5 categories (web presence, web office, content sharing, ad platform and search platform) - because 5 is the magic number; Eric Schmidt says that’s as many as most people can remember.
2. Whois Search in Your Taskbar
Now it is not very often that I find a free download for the Web hosts and Web hosting clients to use out there. Sure you have your FTP clients and log analyzers, but I have something for you that is even better than that. How would you like to do simple and quick Whois searches from your taskbar? That is what Project Whois promises to deliver.
3. Introduction to SEO
For my first blog I would like to start with the basics of SEO. For anyone who knows little or nothing about SEO you might find this helpful and for those who do know about SEO, stay tuned as I will be giving more tips and tricks to help you dominate your industry.
Have any other web hosting posts that caught your eye but did not catch mine?
