Best of the Web for Writers: January 23, 2009

Here are some sites I’ve found valuable over the past few days.

Up-to-Date Backup Strategies:  I’ve written several times about back up strategies, but the available hardware and software keeps getting better.  For the most up-to-date review of back up strategies, read PC World’s brief how-to article.

The Wealthy Freelancer:  This is a fairly new blog, but already it has carried several posts about the importance of time management to one’s productivity.  This link takes you to those posts.

Author Leo Babauta’s promo strategy:  Babauta offers a free 27-page downloadable e-book in advance of publication of his real book.  Interesting idea to build interest and buzz.

Place a Word Count Button on the Word toolbar:  Dp you like to follow at a glance your accumulating word count?   You can do that relatively easy in Microsoft Word, though it takes a few clicks to do so.  PC World offers instructions on a simple step that will put a word count button right on your Word toolbar, making the check even easier.

Build a Tumblr Website:  I learned about the website platform Tumblr from Kyle Bunch who describes it this way:

Tumblr is the ultimate case of a “so easy, I just can’t NOT use it” apps.  Sure, I’d much rather host my own sites if at all possible…but when Tumblr lets me get a good-looking site with a so-easy-my-dead-aunt-can-use-it CMS from idea to live in a few minutes, I just can’t stop doing it.

If you’ve got a minute, click on the links to get these out.
