It’s been awhile. We’ve been plotting ways to reboot our podcast to make it bigger, better, and even more fanatical than before. While we’re still hammering out some concrete ideas (a little help from you, our listeners, might be nice!) we’ve decided to answer some questions. This week, you’re getting a luxurious 39 minutes of free consulting as we discuss the difference between the various blogging platforms. In in this episode we discuss:
- WordPress.org self-hosted blogs
- WordPress.com hosted blogs
- Thesis theme for WordPress
- WP Unlimited theme for WordPress
- Blogger.com blogs
- Tumblr.com blogs
- Posterous.com blogs (which we’ve been corrected about – they apparently do not allow affiliate links)
- Quick call backs to the other systems out there, like Typepad, Movable Type, & even LiveJournal.

This week we are FINALLY joined by Wade Tonkin of GTO Management and the man behind the Christian Affiliate Marketers Association. We had a fine conversation, accidentally recorded in Mono instead of Stereo since I forgot to switch the defaults on this new computer. I think the sound quality is good though, but welcome any feedback. Since we’re all busy people, I opted for no intro music this week and we come in at a sultry 34:25. In in this episode we discuss:
- Who Wade is, i.e. a partner at GTO Management
- Blog World Expo and their affiliate program (which GTO Management professionally manages)
- The events put on by and the Christian Affiliate Marketing Association
