I am back (I have changed this title because this post has changed!)

Hi!, I´m back, the thing is I am living busy days right now with a lot of work divided into several categories from Consulting, management issues and SEO..., but I have decided to continue blogging.
Besides that I have worked late at nights thinking about the new insite website, we will change it asap, we have to!

"Es muy cool"
By the way, the esmuycool blogging start-up its doing great. Not as my personal blog but as research experiment to understand several aspects of readers behaviour.And it has one full time blogger. We have received almost 1100 visits for the last month and 17 RSS daily readers.

What will you find on this 1879 blog?
So, in this blog you will find a few ideas directly delivered from my brain, and usually at night. The main topics will cover:

• Interactive marketing and Web 2.0 in general.
• SEO / SEM
• Management related stories from the trenches

I hope to see you reading my blog :) , sadly I have disable comments because I´m not happy with Google comments administration. (But I´m trying to change this blog to Wordpress shortly), in the meantime i will be waiting for your e-mails as ussual

Thanks
Vic.

Happy new year!

This ranking is made by the comments of people and friends who are visiting this blog reguraly, and with the google pagerank of these sites.You can submit your vote by e-mail or by a comment in this page.

About comments administration

I think Blogger hasn't a right way to manage comments, I am a Blogger beta user but its the same for now. it has great changes on the interface but not in the administration features. So I'm planning to move this blog to Wordpress (not only for this reason of course), in the meantime I will disable comments, but as always : I will answer your questions and comments by e-mail as daily basis :)

See ya

4 steps to a multilingual blog in Blogger

Since I have received a lot of e-mails asking about how to maintain a multilingual blog in Blogger, I will share the 4 steps that works for me, I use a little tricky process and Its something like this:

1. Write posts in the two selected languages in a text editor
2. I want to maintain the main page always in English, so I Write the Spanish post and assign an old date to it (more than 4 days.)
3. I post the English one with the current date. (and include a link to the translation post)
4. Since my account is configured to display the last 3 days at home, it works! The Spanish posts are archived and the main page is always in English.

It’s a lot of work, but it works for me since there no a appropriate solution from Blogger so far..., do you have any better solution? please share it with us! :)

Thanks

Vic.
