Create beautiful Click To Tweet boxes in your blog posts.
Today we are proud to release a brand new Click To Tweet plugin for WordPress!
You may have seen this plugin before as a regular feature on our own blog posts. Now, we are pumped to be releasing it for all of the world to use. The concept is pretty simple – create beautiful Click To Tweet boxes anywhere in your blog post.
Vinyl is popular, record players are everywhere, and vintage style is back. We thought we’d do the same for your tweets.
That’s where TweetCaller comes in. Instead of sending a tweet to your friend using Twitter, TweetCaller lets you send your tweet over the phone, fax, or in the mail. And, not only that, but it gives you different options on how you want that to happen.
Let’s back up the truck for a second, and start from the beginning.
We remind ourselves of our goal, every day.
UPDATE: We are no longer accepting guest post submissions at this time. Thank you.
We love great content.
It’s what motivates us. In fact, our goal is to help the world create and distribute content. And that’s where you come in.
Are you passionate about content marketing? Do you read our blog and have ideas of topics that you’d like to share with our audience?
We’re looking for great writers who are:
We like excellence in writing, unique ideas that aren’t a re-hash of what’s already out there, and content that is, quite frankly, amazing. It might be a how-to, a tutorial, something inspiring, or great advice. We like blog posts that:
If you’re not sure if your post fits, review the posts on our blog. Read several posts. Read about our Todaymade blogging style guide to get a feel for how we write and what we want from blog posts.
You’ll get an idea of how long our posts are, the topics we cover, and the detail and content quality we’re looking for. We’d love it if, inside your guest post, you could link back to a previous post or two here on our blog. It gives our readers a chance to connect with our other content.
It’s simple, really. We’re not looking for:
Most guest posts are rejected because of poor writing, or overly generic content that has nothing new, nothing specific, and no real value to readers. If your post has nothing specific for readers to take away, is full of generalities, and adds nothing new that hasn’t been said before, do not submit it here.
Any content that you submit to us for consideration must meet these extremely important guidelines. As a serious content creator, we’re sure you will understand:
We will not accept posts with any questionable content. We will remove links from the body of your post if we feel that they are suspect.
It’s important to submit a post that’s ready to go.
Post: You should email the HTML of your post as a plain text file (no Word files, please), including any image(s) with it. It should be formatted and ready to be put directly into WordPress. Your post should have no H1 tags within the body, but should use at least H2. It should have paragraphs, headings, and be proofed. Spelling, punctuation, and grammar should be impeccable.
Headline: Include a headline. Please read this post for ideas on creating great headlines.
Bio: You may include a bio of up to three sentences. We allow you to include two links. These two links should link to your blog or a legitimate website of similar content of our site that you are a part of, or a social media account. They should not link to any site you are being paid to promote, or any site promoting loans, shopping, etc. We reserve the right to request a different link if we find the link questionable.
We reserve the right to edit your headline, post, and bio so that it fits with our blog. We will also edit the formatting to fit our blog style for tweets, quotes, and questions. If we like your post but feel it needs work, we’ll give you an opportunity to do so.
If you accept these publishing guidelines, and have a great blog post ready, send an email to julie@todaymade.com and attach the post to the email (not in the body) as a text file in HTML, as well as the image(s) that need to accompany it.
We can’t wait to work with you!
UNDER A BRIDGE, SOMEWHERE – Internet users rejoiced on Monday, April 1, 2013, upon hearing that the International Troll Registry was opened up to troll registration.
“Internet users have grown tired of dealing with trolls,” said Garrett Moon, one of the founders of Todaymade, a content marketing and web development company. “You try to ship something and make some forward progress and trolls do their best to take you down.”
While no surprise to Internet veterans, new users to the internet are often shocked at how innocent comments and requests can bring down virtual fire from above into their router and onto their screen.
Trolls, and their patented “trolling” techniques have wreaked havoc on many online industries.
“It’s a real problem,” said Moon. “Whether you’re writing about food, politics, or social media, trolls are on the alert. They have a well-developed artillery and are skilled at human psychology.”
Trolls are often found in locations where people expect to transact business or get help, such as Craigslist, Apple/Android forums, reddit, hackernews, and Yahoo! Answers. Unsuspecting Internet users stumble into elaborate traps, unaware that they are dealing with a troll.
“What we hope to see happen with the troll registry is at least let trolls form some kind of a cohesive group for their own internal support while simultaneously alerting the public to who they might want to avoid engaging online,” said Bert Morgoth, an admitted troll and vocal supporter of trolls. “Eventually, we’d like to see levels of certifications based on trolling ability, and possibly a forum dedicated just for training trolls and helping them improve their skills.”
Currently, the registry only allows for the creation of a database of trolls and the saving of kittens. Future benefits, such as Morgoth’s certification and training, are in the works.
Interest in the International Troll Registry has been growing. Though the creators, Todaymade, have been unwilling to release the proprietary algorithms which they claim perform the kitten-saving, they have made registration free and open to anyone in need.
