Spotlight: Canadian Blogging with BlueFur.com

Sep/07 in Web Hosting

BlueFur BloggingFor a while now I have had the idea in the back of my head to use Mitchelaneous.com as more than just a soapbox for my own ideas. I want to use it to show you (yes you, the everyday blog reader) there are good content sources outside the norm.

Sure we all love the popular web sites (or they wouldn’t be that popular) but they are not the be all or end all to all goodness that comes from the Web.

One place that continues to surprise me is the blog for BlueFur.com. Why is it a winner? I am not even a BlueFur.com customer and I still like to read it – that is how you build a successful business right there. Here is just a sample of some of the cool posts that have been done there in the past:

Gary Jones, the monster behind the magic over there, is also a brilliant guy all around I must say. I recently had a blast talking with him on my podcast over at WebHostingShow.com. So if you want to learn more about BlueFur.com that might be a good place to start:

So go subscribe to Gary’s BlueFur feed and keep up to date with what this innovative Canadian web host is doing at blog.bluefur.com.
