*sigh* I am not a tech person. Without the help of good friends I never would have gotten this blog off the ground. For those of you in Debtor’s Prison your only way out might be promoting yourself through social media. If you’re anything like me you might be embarassed that a magnet high school plus a 200k education leaves you without the basic tools to access the world’s most powerful resource.

Please read on as I state what I have learned so far and apologize to those who have been inconvenienced or annoyed by my learning curve.

First, a web designer is your friend. That I think is self explanatory. If you’re over 20 and have never created a website chances are your efforts would be better spent at ground zero rather than learning the intricacies of web design.

Second with respect to links, other sites are informed if you link to them. Therefore if you write them a lame letter asking for permission to link to their site and if they would do you the honor of cross-linking…you sound at best stupid, at worst a sarcastic asshole . That’s no way to build networks.

The third has to do with facebook. Originally I had no facebook page. This is not because I don’t own a laptop or a 3G phone. Yes I blog from a desktop in my mothers basement and yes she looks over my shoulder but the fact of the matter is…what would I say? My life is one humiliation after another and I barely do enough to fill out a tweet once a week. I live with my mom. So I start a facebook page with my name but to promote the site. I start a group to promote the site. However what apparently I was supposed to do was start a fan page and somehow that’s the difference between promotion and spam.

So obviously I have alot of work to do. I hope the rest of you can learn from my experiences. Yes you can still facebook friend my personal page and yes I will try and make my tweets more frequently and more interesting. Social media is the mini chisel hidden in the bible that Red slips into our sell each night. If we plan on escaping we have to pick the right spot to start tunneling.
