1. I recently updated BlogTactics.com to the new version of WordPress (WP 2.8.1) and all the text widgets that I use to add stuff to my blog's sidebar just disappeared!
I've not been able to find a way in WordPress itself to add old style text widgets back in, so I had to come up with a "fix"of my own.
I've made a quick video to show how I fixed the problem so you can do the same if you need to, here's the blog post: -

2. I just heard about a workshop that's happening in London, UK, on Sunday 26th July and I've booked up to go.
there's still a few places (4 I think) left, so if you want to learn about product creation and building an online business from two of the best (Kevin Riley & Lee McIntye) then go check out the blog post and grab your spot: -

3. I made quick tutorial video on how to cloak an affiliate link that you can check out on Mat4.com here: -

4. I've also just finished a blog post defining the basics of SEO, along with a video illustrating the importance of "Off Page SEO" factors which you can check out on SEOUK.com here: -

don't worry, if you're a newbie when it comes to "SEO" (Search Engine Optimization) this blog post will probably help you to start getting to grips with it, it's really not the scary "black magic art" that many people make it out to be!

5. I had an email earlier this week from a subscriber (thanks Hank) asking for help understanding all the different "terms" that are thrown around in internet marketing, like PLR, MMR, OTO, optin, squeeze page, etc. etc.
I've been doing this so long that sometimes I forget just how much I know and take for granted, so it was a good reminder for me and I'm going to get a blog post done with as many of these terms and their definitions as I can come up with.
here's where you can help out, if there's a term that you want to know the meaning for just hit reply and let me know so I can add it to the list.
thanks!
Cheers,
Matt Garrett
