About






Hi -- BobbyCato here, while I am usually not shy about writing, I will tell you, I am not a big fan of about pages. Recently I have noticed a lot of 404’s where people are searching for my “about” page. In order to stop the chain from braking, I figured I will put one here for those looking.
Another reason I don’t like about pages is simply because I enjoy being in the back ground. I love blogging and writing for this particular purpose. These type of pages have always seemed to be an area of the blog where the blogger always brags about themselves.

Humble Beginnings to Internet Mastery 

1998, my wife Helen and I bought out a failing ISP and webhosting company, and started up Ultra Internet as a local internet service provider and web hosting company. This where I became a webmaster. Helen taught me html, but I really enjoyed working server side. We didn’t have control panel back then, I work using Apache server, creating cron jobs, uploading files and trouble shooting and repairing the servers and network when the need arose.

We closed up shop in 2001, after we found that it wouldn’t be worth diving into high speed which would have cost 5 times the amount the business was bringing in a year. We sold our business and went back into work force.

Start a Blogger Blog

  How To Start A Blogger Blog When I first started blogging about 16 years ago, I didn't have a clue what I was doing. My wife set up my first WordPress blog on a self hosted server and all I had to do was learn and write. I managed to find a lot of information about blogging from other blogs such as ProBlogger, and Yaro Starak. There was a lot of information that I had to wade through especially tons of out of date, time sensitive and irrelevant information.

Easily change your blogs header image

 Three Steps to changing the header image of your blogger blog  For a writer the header image of your blog should be a top concern. What should your header image be? Should it be an image of you? Your work such as a stack of published books? Or should it be an image of you lounging on a tropical island with a martini in one hand and a tablet or laptop in the other? Whatever you decide, it should reflect You, and Your brand, especially if you are going to be taking vantage of social media. As part of my research I visited StephenKing.com and check out his header. He is using wordpress and his header is just his name in a square at the top left. I also looked up R.L.Stine.com and his image is a little more fancier than Stephen King's. In big Goosebumpian letters it reads "The world of R.L.Stine" Perfect. Both authors are using their platforms to brand themselves.  So what should you do? That depends on whether you are freelancing or are an author of books. In this post your...
