Here’s another question I’ve been thinking about this week: What are the pros and cons of Mac vs PC as blogging tools?

I’ve always used PCs because… I’ve always used PCs and that’s what I’m used to. But having recently got married there is now a Mac in the house (relax, it belongs to my wife.. I didn’t marry the Mac) which has sparked my curiosity. I’ve been advised that PCs are better for internet development work because most internet users have PCs – but I know you use a Mac so evidently you don’t agree.

I’ve almost given up getting some rational advice on this subject – it seems to polarize people into evangelists – but would be very interested to hear your thoughts.

By the way what date is the blogathon?

All the best with the Blogathon,

Do you know of any program in which a blog entry can be written and then uploaded at a certain date and time you specify, in case you went out of town but wanted to continue being able to post daily?
Also, do you ever go diving in Australia. It’s supposed to be the best there.
What’s your fav part of Australia to visit?

Email subscriptions vs. Email Newsletters. Pros and cons of either offering email subscription to posts or creating a newsletter. I know that you could use both, but if a person was deciding between either one, what are some considerations? What is your opinion?

I have a question that isn’t just related to blogs… it may sound strange, but I don’t have an idea of what is considered “good” internet traffic. How many visitors a day or month means a website or blog is considered successful. Like at what point is traffic considered high enough to get outside advertisers besides google, yahoo and chikita?

I think my conversion rate is good (but there’s a margin of error from my not being a math person). But I can always improve. Blogs are very unique with websites, whether we like it or not. They don’t have that blurb or paragraph, smack dab in the middle of the home page saying, “Welcome, this site is about!!!”

So what are blogs to do to convey the message clearer?

What are the ways to best explain the site most effectively in the shortest amount of time?

Do you focus all of your time and energy on blogging? Or do you diversify with other money making ventures (such as affiliate marketing)?

thanks!

You asked for more non-blog questions, Darren, and this one might still fall into that category … but it applies to all other communication/interaction across the Web.

There isn’t a day goes by I don’t see a blogger, an ecommerce guru or a family member complaining about time zone differences and communication problems caused by them.

There’s been an Internet Time standard out there for years now … pluses and minuses regarding moving to an Internet Standard time?

Can you recommend a blogging tool or software that allows visitors to upload their own photos to the blog? (It would be a moderated situation).

Darren, a couple of quick questions:

1) What do you like/dislike most about Australia – particularly the area where you live?

2) How much do you use Skype or other chat/IM programs while you work?

Do you expect your readership will change significantly during this time of 24-hour posting? Are you worried about readers getting overloaded with too much to read?

How do you talk about blogging with folks who don’t blog? Or don’t you ever do it?
