Or maybe some other video on the web like CNN or Fox or whatever.  A cool thing about a blog is that you can have video on your blog, just like the pros.  I have placed this video as an example of what you can have on your blog to advertise someone else, or to advertise your own video.

I have never put a video (except for this one) on a blog before so when I went to do this, it took a little bit of work.  Trust me when I say that it took a little bit of work.  I did not have to work as hard as I thought I was going to have to.  I am working on my videos now so I can actually put up one of my own, but for now this will be an example of what you can do.   I hope you are having a nice day.  If you got a laptop, drop me a line and tell me the brand and model you got.  I am looking for one.

Thank you, Jim

So, what can you do to see if anyone out there in Internet land gives a rat’s butt about what you are writing about?  I will show you a trick on how to see if anyone is reading and it will not cost you anything.  How’s that for awesome?  You will need to do some checking on whether or not people are reading and one of the tricks I use is at http://www.go2url.com/.  Suppose I want to see if anyone is going over the the web site for Wink 2.0.  I go to that web site and find the download page and copy that URL into the box at http://www.go2url.com/ to get a unique and short version of the web site address.  Next I track in my web host control panel whether or not anyone if clicking on that unique link. 

So http://www.go2url.com/  is a page that will convert a long web site address to something short and unique for tracking later on.  The short web site address that you get from http://www.go2url.com/ also fits into the column length of the blog without it going past the right hand margins so it makes it easier for people with different browsers to click on the link.  There you have it.

Thanks, Jim
