Automate the Easy Stuff

On my Mac, I use TextExpander all the time. For instance, when I set up the link to TextExpander, I typed in ;href and it spat out all the little HTML bits so that I could do it really quickly. I have little biography bits set up, so I can add them to guest posts. I have ones set up for people I reference a lot like Julien Smith or Christopher S. Penn (did that by typing ;jul and ;csp respectively). I automate bits and bits of my text efforts, because I write a lot and there’s no sense doing all that typing manually, if I can just set it and forget it.
