Today’s question:

Hey Mike–I have a two part question about list-building. First, I know you like AWeber as an autoresponder, but are there any free or cheaper services that would suffice for someone who is frugal?

Tagging questions

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008

Today’s question:

Hey Mike, I installed the Bunny’s Technorati tags plugin, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I have no tag cloud below my posts. When I write a post, I add tags into the “add new tags” field, but I none ever show up on my posts!

Now I have not used Bunny’s Technorati Tags [...]
