Isn’t it frustrating to turn on your radio and tune into your favorite station, only to hear absolutely nothing? You’re thinking: What happened to them? Are they coming back? How long will it take until I hear my music again?
Unfortunately, the same thing can occur on blogs, too. And we certainly have not been blogging much this spring. We give a special shout out to those who are still with us – and we wanted to let you know that we fully expect (and you deserve) more regular posts from us.
So where have we been? ContentRobot has been privileged to be extremely busy with new clients, partners and several complex and interesting blog projects. Here’s a sampling:
This tasty new blog-powered website offers the best in what you can find in your grocery stores, written by a nationally-recognized food writer and her sons. Each week you can read about a featured “bite” and registered users can get involved in the site by adding their two cents (comments) and rating products they’ve tried. Especially fun, is that these users can enter a variety of contests to win free products, which includes food products and kitchen gadgets. Follow the blog along in an RSS reader or a newsletter, which is delivered to your inbox each Wednesday. Visit the Bite of the Best site >
ContentRobot really turned on their technical skills to customize a WordPress theme and design to launch this new website. It’s chock full of techy articles that help companies of all sizes to navigate through antispam, antivirus, employee monitoring, IT security, and related issues. This new site is totally-blog driven and acts as the platform to publish up-to-date information in this ever-changing industry. Visit the CopiaTECH site >
This local search engine optimization company has dipped their toes into the blogosphere and recently added a blog to their site. They are so excited about this new media that they are already asking for more functionality and design updates to be added this summer. Visit the eVision blog >
Beneath the Cover / Push the Key
These complimentary sites allow readers to learn all about the publishing industry. Whether you are a publisher, editor, designer, author, or literary agent, you’ll be sure to find an abundance of articles that will help you do what you need to do. Approximately 75 categories can be displayed and searched in a variety of ways, so it’s extremely easy to find and read posts you want. Go to BTC to read what its expert contributors have to say and go to PTK to see the response to those opinions. These sites continue to evolve, as you will be able to subscribe to both newsletters and RSS feeds by the entire site, by contributor, by category and more.

Partnerships
We have been working hard to forge relationships that will help to promote ContentRobot and our expertise. Among the most interesting partnerships, was assisting Wufoo (the great online forms company) to better implement their technology on WordPress blogs.
