A test for MacJournal

does this win?

MacJournal is an interesting new piece of blogging software that I just got. I don’t know if I’m going to keep it or not, but I really appreciate the green ‘matrixesque’ font on the black screen. I like being able to have a singular focus on what I’m writing, and this toy seems to be able to achieve that pretty swimmingly.

So…away we go.

Let’s see how a list works:

It’s imported from Gdocs, so it’s not perfect, but it’s fine:

* Install WordPress.
* Install & Configure Following Plugins:
o WP-EZ uploader
o Audio-Player
o Related Posts if possible in theme.
o All in one SEO Pack
o Google XML Sitemaps
o WP-Cache upon request.
o Pod Press upon request (as of today, there are acute issues with pod press for WP 2.6.1)
o Install auto upgrading tool for clients to use
* Set up hosting.
* Social Media when necessary.
o Technorati
o Stumble Upon
o Digg
o Flock
o Reddit
o Friend Feed

* Select Categories
* Research Categories
* Create navigation
o About/resume
o Most popular posts..
o help client understand and write a ‘pillar’ post.
o Links to FB/Linkedin
* Start with Template and design it tweak it
o (Client must learn about the functions of WP.)
o Minor CSS Edits/Color changes.
+ Column Width is easy to screw things up with.
* Coaching calls on:
o Getting around in WP
+ Dashboard
+ Adding Plugins
+ How to google.
+ How to extend WP functionality.
+ What wigitized means and what widgets are.
o Blogging in general
o SEO dos and donts
+ Write good content
+ …that has keywords.
o Getting traffic
+ Follow
* One page reference for your blog will be done.
o All addresses and passwords.
o How to upgrade.
o How to do everything.

Custom Work:

* List Building: Start With Aweber.
* Create a folder.
* Write an article.

Support Via IM for 6 months after launch.

Suggested work (by students)

* Ning
* Xing
* Twitter

Let’s see how the other stuff works:

  • Bullet point list generated w/macjounral.
    • inner bullet point
    • inner bullet point
  • I love the instantaneous “green on black full screen mode”
  • I hate the fact that my FLIP doesn’t want to connect today for some reason i don’t get.
  • Let’s set a BHAG for September: $250k raised 1 month. $8500/day.
    • Social media: 10,000 giving $25/week = 100k
      • Something is wonky about these lists internally. It’s correctable but highly annoying.

         now: I’ve identified how cool a full screen text editor is. vv cool. Need to find a better one that does the green/black thing.

WLW kicked ass for the most part, and it’s the thing I miss. THis is probably not going to cut it for me because it behaves poorly as a text editor
