Contributed by CoffeeDaze I've become a somewhat avid blogger over the past year. I've read and subscribed to countless blogs and I discovered the ones I continued to follow generally stuck to one (or more) of the following rules:
Make It Count
So many blogs are just carbon copies of popular news sites and spew out whatever tech announcement was made that day. The blogs that count are speaking from their own experience, be it news related or personal reflections. I've heard that blogging about yourself is not appealing to many but I find it interesting and often more in depth than general announcements. I tend to follow personal blogs far more often than professional ones and the more in depth the reflection the more I read.
Show It Off
Pictures truly are worth a thousand words. Blog articles that include an image (even as a header) are more engaging and just more fun. Text runs together after a while and a simple image can break the monotony.
Design Is Key
A great looking blog always draws better than a generic one. Great looking doesn't mean more graphics though as simplicity is often the best design. If your wanting to reach a wide audience, I highly recommend getting a professional designer to help make your blog stand out. Having a complete blog (about page, archives, site map, RSS, etc..) is also a big step towards drawing a better audience. I spend at least 2-3 hours each week tweaking the design and code on my blog just to make sure my readers have the best possible experience.

There's a good article over at MacCentral about replacing your glass screen on your MacBook or MacBook Pro. Seems an awful lot of people don't like them because of the glare on the screen. Others don't like the way the colors are displayed. And of course, others like it better. All a matter of taste.
So a new company, http://techrestore.com/ , has come up with their own process of getting you back the old matte LCD screen we have all come to love over the years. If you are one of those, you can get your screen replaced for around $200.00 from Techrestore.
The reviewer, who had this done, was very pleased with how it all came out. You can read his entire and lengthy review at MacCentral .

It's been a long time, too long, since we've been here to socialize. In a simple effort to upgrade to a better provider, Maclectic seemed to get involved in a struggle for who owns whom. Seems ipower wasn't all that happy to lose us, while Dreamhost did there best to get us in. But, after much effort and a lot of down hours we are back online. Rich has worked hard to get everything reconnected. Thanks, Rich, for your hard work!
Now that we are on Dreamhost, it is our hope that we will have faster service and a lot less errors. iPower just seemed to go downhill after they made some changes that did not seem to be very beneficial for us. Now that we are back online, I hope you'll stop in and get things moving again around here. Time to round up the old crew and get some serious posting done.
Come on in, the water is fine. We need recipes, stories, reviews and lots of friendly chit chat. Hope you'll help get us moving once again.
