The Resort Marketing Blog is Going on the Road

August 4th, 2010 2 Comments

There’s going to be a lot of cutting edge travel news and information coming to this blog in mid-November. That’s because I’ll be blogging from The PhoCusWright Conference in Phoenix on November 16-18. The best part is that I’ve been chosen to take part in their New Media Summit in which PhoCusWright offers accredited travel [...]

10 Tips for Configuring a WordPress.org Blog

June 14th, 2010 No Comments

I’ve had my blog on a self-hosted WordPress.org installation for about a year now and I really like it. Particularly at a time when I hear that WordPress.com had an issue that caused them to go offline for over an hour, which means that there were over 10 million blogs that were inaccessible for around [...]

My employer has a fantastic program in which they incentivize year round employers to take a month off in either May or June. I just finished my “MayAway” and returned back to work this past Monday, refreshed and ready to dive into a bunch of cool projects that we have in the works for the [...]

Ski Resorts Online – Websites, Blogs, Social Networks and More

My Ski Resorts on Twitter post has been up for a bit over a year now and it’s become apparent to me that the list is already falling behind the times (even with regular updates). It’s not just Twitter now, but Facebook, YouTube, blogs and any number of other networks that resorts are using to [...]

Blogging the Olympic Games?

February 14th, 2010 No Comments

While browsing through some tweets from the USOC Communications Twitter feed the other day, I came upon the International Olympic Committee’s Blogging Guidelines for the 2010 Vancouver Games and while I give them kudos for coming up with such a document, I have to say that I think this document was produced almost completely with [...]

New Technologies for the Winter

November 11th, 2009 No Comments

It’s amazing how incredible the technologies that we use everyday have become. From the WordPress software that so many use to host our blogs, to the super computing devices that our cell phones now are. I’m writing this post on my new Motorola Droid phone, which I also used to take this photo of my [...]

Happy Blog Birthday!

October 27th, 2009 2 Comments

Wow, this is exactly one year to the day that I first posted to the Resort Marketing blog (don’t feel obligated to click back to it as it’s pretty awful). I have to say that I’m satisfied to have made it through a year. But, I do think that there are things I’ve done well [...]

Blogging and the long tail in search engine results

November 21st, 2008 2 Comments

I haven’t promoted my blog as much as I should, but guess I wanted to first reassure myself that I actually could keep up a consistent stream of interesting posts so as to not have my thoughts wither away and have my blog turn into one of those dead, five or ten post blogs, that [...]

Hmmm, another blog…

October 27th, 2008 No Comments

I’d like to see if I can use this blog to help me to remember some of the interesting sites I visit and also to perhaps allow better networking among those of us who work in the world of interactive marketing for mountain resorts (any other type of resort is certainly welcome as well). I [...]
