I’ve been a web marketer since the late 1990’s, for the majority of my career, I’ve developed plain old HTML websites. Those HTML relics were clunky, problematic to maintain and didn’t lend themselves to much in the way of updating.

Many social networks give you the tools to find out what’s hot and establish yourself quickly. Let me explain how these systems work.
Every time a Blog or website ‘pings’ one of these social networks they take the ‘category name’ of your Blog post and turn it into a tag. There are also plug ins for Wordpress that allow you to define your own tags. The social network then takes these ‘tags’ and turns them into links that go to all the posts they have on these topics.
