By the suggestion of "Going Faster" I heel-toe all the time now. Get lots of practice in the traffic around here too! But I found I have to vary my technique significantly based on the shoes I'm wearing. In tennis shoes I actually heel-toe. In my normal buisness shoes which are stiffer and wider I just use the side of my foot to poke the throttle.

When I first started I also spent a lot of time trying to blip the throttle just right in order to match revs perfectly. I later found its actually more effective to just blip the throttle in the right neighborhood and shift crisply and smoothly then it is to match revs 100% perfectly. Don't look at the tach, its all feel.
