Colin Blakely of Tech Status Quo emailed me for some help in promoting his blogs, which he hopes will help him pay off his student loans, so I decided to lend him a hand (why not?!).
Tech Status Quo is a general technology blog where Colin writes about technologies, the internet, software and hardware which interest him. Whilst he doesn’t have a more specific niche such as internet, he writes fairly detailed and passionately about topics which interest him (whether that may be offshore windfarms, social search technologies or funky wallets).
Colin is a fairly recent blogger having only started 5 days ago! His posts are all of a fairly high quality but I do have some tips for him:
- Change your design to something more refreshing; it doesn’t suit your blog’s tone
- Keep up the work!
- Choose a niche when you find one. There are too many general tech blogs (I’d know!)
So go, check out his blog, make a comment and subscribe for his feed.


Joe-
I followed your tips and am trying to find a good niche. I think I am going to lean towards new hardware and software from startup companies. How does that sound?
I also changed my design to (what I believe) a more ‘techy’ look.
Thanks!
Colin
