So today marks my 5th year blogging here. And yeah, I know, “whoopty friggn do.” But maybe it’s a chance tho to clear up one fallacy and that’s this weird belief that your success attracting clients and business is directly proportional to the frequency of posts you publish. Man, I *really* wish that was true. It’s not. Yes, there was a time, early on, where having a blog, like this one, was unique or at very least showed people I wasn’t completely a mouth breather — but all it’s ever been (at best) is one factor in a series of factors that informed a decision. And trust me, knowing this, there have been many times in the past 5 years where the ah-f*-its have taken over and tempted me to abandoned this, but I’m glad I’ve stuck with it, and my sincere thanks to those of you here who have done the same. Onward.

Blogkeeping Update
mike manuel
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now, just a few *minor* points of interest for regular readers.
First off, Media Guerrilla has a new primary URL: http://www.mguerrilla.com. Also, because guerrilla is sometimes spelled with a single “r,” I ended up registering a secondary URL: http://www.mguerilla.com. Both obviously point to the same place, but for linking and tracking purposes, you’d be doing me a favor by using the primary link. My TypePad URL will continue to work as well (mmanuel.typepad.com/media_guerrilla).
Secondly, my linkblog has moved. After some thought and 8 months of poking (yes, damn it, I caved in) I’ve transitioned my linkblog to del.icio.us. You can view it at: http://del.icio.us/mguerrilla (subscribe here). I’ve set-up FeedBurner to splice in my del.icio.us links so you no longer need to subscribe to two separate feeds, just this one and you’re set.
Finally, if you haven’t already noticed, I’ve been making some tweaks to the blog design. Just messing around really, but my quasi-German-chic minimalist approach seems to be working, so I’ll keep it for now. Enjoy!

Corante Launches “Hubs”
mike manuel
The Corante Network is undergoing some major changes with the rollout today of several new content “hubs,” including most notably one focused on PR and Marketing that syndicates the blogs and brains of a crazy-impressive list of contributors like Shel Holtz, Neville Hobson, Elizabeth Albrycht, Andy Lark, Evelyn Rodriguez, and yours truly, among many, many others (full list of contributors here). This should be interesting, you can subscribe to an aggregate feed here. More to come…
