Microsoft Small Business Server 2011 is out and following closely on its heels is the Small Business Server 2011 Best Practices Analyzer which is a powerful tool for optimizing any SBS installation.

Next up is an informational bulletin about the new release of System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 R2 SP1, which brings Microsoft’s VMM in line with the features and functionality that were improved in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1. Most noticably, SCVMM now supports the Dynamic Memory feature on the latest release of Windows Server.

Also recently published was this piece about System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Beta that was released by Microsoft recently. There is a lot of new stuff going on in SCCM 2012. You can actually see the product maturing as design decisions that once looked like good ideas have been reworked in order to avoid the issues that arise when you actually have to use a management tool in an enterprise environment on a relatively large scale.

Have a great day writing everyone!

Unfortunately, like most ISP webpages, the ones from Comcast are buggy and not fully featured. I have to edit the HTML by hand to include links because the dialog box that appears when you click the chain link to add a link is empty.

Nevertheless, I press on, knowing that my additional links will aid my own SEO efforts so long as Google insists on pretending that counting incoming links is still a viable means of ranking websites.

I need to go through and integrate my social networking and writing business online marketing efforts.  For now, I do what I can when I can in between freelance writing for clients, writing for myself (fiction that I keep working on but never taking to the next level), doing SEO for my freelance writing business and other assorted entrepreneurial tasks and family matters.

That being said, I do have plenty of social networking accounts setup, even if many of them are doing nothing more than auto-posting feeds and posts from my various writing websites or other online writing efforts.

• Brian Nelson on Facebook (main personal account)
• ArcticLlama Freelance Writing Business Facebook Page (main business page)
• ArcticLlama Freelance Writing Business Facebook User (secondary)
• Brian Nelson and ArcticLlama on Twitter (combined)
• ArcticLlama on MySpace
• ArcticLlama on Yahoo
• ArcticLlama’s Freelance Writing Resources on Delicious
• Delicious Bookmarks exported to Google Bookmarks

Whew! I guess that should be enough for now, although I’m pretty sure there are a lot more out there.

Right now, I’m using Seesmic to manage my freelance writing social networks after HootSuite went “freemium” and limited accounts to just five per user. I could register again with a different email but that kind of defeats the purpose of handling all my Twitter accounts from one single login.

Cheers.

Here are my (mostly) freelance writing bookmarks on delicious.

I’ve imported those to YourVersion so these writing bookmarks are basically the same at this point.

I’ll update this post as I add other services and/or upgrade the writer’s resources that I highlight around the web.

Thanks.
