Speaking at SheCon about Meals that Changed My Life

Welcome attendees of the SheBlogs Conference! I’m about to go onstage to discuss SEO and blogging. It is a tough act to follow the excellent keynote speech by Guy Kawasaki about Enchantment. His new book was given away to everyone here at SheCon courtesy of Citrix and looks like a great read.

His point about being trustworthy is very salient. Perhaps it goes without saying, but you should not believe everything you read on the Internet. That goes for everything you hear at conferences too. Before going to see someone’s panel, you should search for them online. That’s why I wanted to reward the curious with a sneak peak about my topic. I’m going to talk about my experience applying enterprise SEO skills to my food blog.

Hopefully you found the right Adam Edwards. It is difficult because I have a much more common name than Guy. Plus I have not invested as much into personal SEO as perhaps I should, since I am always busy doing that for my clients. However, I encourage you to read my profile on LinkedIn and decide if the session is worth your time. Finally, if you read this far, you might also be interested to learn more about the full service social media agency where I work or the immigrant integration non-profit venture that I advise as part of its board of directors.

Please drop me a line if you read this!

Facebook and Tumblr

Facebook is pushing me to the edge, but I have not quit the social networking site yet despite my last post. Thus I decided to set up the feature that posts my Tumblr updates to my wall. In other words, one of the main reasons I went with Tumblr. I was very happy to see a straightforward approval process.

Set up Tumblr in Facebook

It gave me the option to post my entries to my Facebook wall. Sharing something public with a private group of friends? Approved! Then it asked if I wanted to deliver my private wall posts to a public blog on Tumblr. Denied!

That is the way it should be. Ask for my permission upfront, and maybe you’ll get it 50% of the time — without making me angry or risking an account cancellation.
