Work, Web, Play

I work on quite a few blogs, but usually behind the scenes.  The blogs I’ve owned up until now have all been hobbies.  Not that I haven’t made a few bucks off of them, but they haven’t exactly been related to my field.

Which presents a problem.  My personal blog has no focus, but I do come across plenty of ideas that I’d like to share and discuss.  And I need to record some of the things I’m doing, if only for my own memory.

So my previous blog, colintemple.com, is movng here.  The “Work, Web, Play” theme is coming with it, but I’ll be focusing on my work in the world of web marketing.  I’ll be sharing some ideas and successes, useful things I find, and challenges I come across (and hopefully resolve).

So, I’ll start with an introduction.  My name is Colin Temple and I’m a web marketer in Ottawa, Canada.  I’m self-employed: I left my full-time job last fall to kick my business into high gear.  I’m now working with businesses around the world on their marketing through my company, XAdvance.  I live in the suburbs with my wonderful wife and our severely annoying cat.

    Hey! First off, I’d like to say “good luck” in your new endeavours and if you ever need help, feel free to drop me an email! Who am I?

    I’m Corey Freeman from Diligent Design.(http://www.diligentdesign.net) Up until now pretty much all of my web projects have been colossal failures, due to my inability to follow my own advice. I’ve found over the years that being patient, putting in quality work, and asking for help really do make a difference. Diligent is only a month old, but it’s getting some decent traffic and has made a few cents. It mainly focuses on the category of design, blogging, and freelancing, and how those might interrelate. I believe in building online “presence” not just a site.

    I’m also a freelance designer (http://www.deadlyclever.com) and I blog post around the net. I do Static, Wordpress, and SMF design and copywriting. I can also do editing.

    I forgot to say that if you’re just starting out, I’d love to see you try to do the “you click, you comment” challenge over at Diligent Design! (linked in my name) It’d be great to hear the results of a brand new blog. I sent over an email.

    Thanks!
    Corey Freeman

    Thanks, Corey! I’ve been going full-time since last September, so I’ll be hitting the 1-year mark soon. But I’ve been doing most of this stuff for years. I’ll come back and look for the results of your challenge there as well.

    Thanks for stopping by!
