Revised May 6, 2008

Welcome to OpTempo.

Hi, my name is Frank Carr. I’m posting here by my initials, JFC.

This blog originally started as an experiment in rapid paced blogging where I made 200 posts between October 6, 2007 and October 31, 2007. While the original overall topic of OpTempo was general “anything goes”, over time it has evolved into a place for reviewing blogs and other sites along with articles on blog/site promotion, niche blogging, content development and other related topics. It will probably change again as this blog evolves so subscribe using one of the RSS Feed subscription buttons in the above right to see where I end up.

If you’re into computer programming, you might want to check out my software development blog, Visual Basic Notebook for .NET. I also have a more in-depth bio on my technical background there in the About page, but the short version is that I’ve been a software developer and business systems analyst/consultant for over 20 years. If you’re wondering why I’m not a rock star guitarist, you can check out my SoundClick page where I expose my guitar playing to an unwitting world (Mountain Dew Morning, A Miner at a Fair and Of Unknown Origin are my best ones, IMO.)

If you’re wondering what my monkey logo means, check out this post: What’s With The Monkey?
