(Sung to the tune of the old blues song, God Bless the Child (That’s Got His Own)) It’s a simple concept, really: own your own content. It’s like owning your own home. In web terms, that’s owning your own domain. My thanks to Liz Strauss for this back-to-basics common-sense reminder, posted yesterday, called Why It’s [...]
