Who Does Your Theme Site Link To
I am a big fan of the Daily Blog Tips WordPress Themes. They are very easy to work with and customize and without even touching them they are pretty nice looking. At the bottom of each the page of each of my blogs there is a link back to the Daily Blog Tips Themes page [...]
Del.icio.us is Delicious
Del.icio.us got rebranded as http://delicious.com which was enough to create a enough press about themselves to make them catch my attention again.
The design looks a little cleaner and sharper and the speed definitely seems faster. Other than that, I can’t really see anything that has changed. At least with the basic features that I use.
I [...]
Reviews of Online Advertising Options For Bloggers
Every couple months I get bored of just using Google AdSense and Amazon ads on my blogs. It seems everyday a new ad network pops up with promises of making publishers rich. Recently I have received offers or heard about a few new programs that caught my attention.
So far none of them have [...]
How I Accidentally Switched to Opera
I was using Firefox 3 from Beta 2 on. On the big Firefox World Record Download day, I dutifully downloaded and installed on both of my computers. Then the one on my desktop computer started crashing…all the time. It goes along fine from anywhere from 5 minutes to a couple hours and then BOOM!
I tried [...]
Embedding Flickr Photos Into WordPress Posts
I have recently started uploading my pictures to Flickr instead of uploading them to the web host for my blogs. It is mostly an experiment since I come nowhere near my bandwidth or disk space limits on even the best of months. So far, I have noticed a few pros and cons.
Pros of Hosting Photos [...]

In the past, web designers faced challenges if they chose to develop a site in Flash because the content they included was not indexable by search engines. [...]
One Reason To Avoid Flash Based Sites
I really don’t spend a lot of time thinking about flash based sites and how much I love/hate them. If they let me “skip intro”, great. If not, it better load fast.
The other day, I actually found something that would concern me if my company was thinking about implementing a flash based site. [...]
Using the Firefox URL Bar to search the search engine of your choice
I was asked in the comments of a recent post how to change the search engine that is used when you type something into the URL Bar (or Smart Bar) in Firefox.
By default, if you type a non-URL in the URL Bar in Firefox, Firefox will automatically send those keywords to the default search engine [...]
Searching for friends on Plurk
Plurk does not seem to have implemented any method of finding people by usernames that you might know from other social sites.
I was doing a little playing around figuring that Google should be able to handle it. But how?
If you go to Google and type “site:plurk.com <some word(s)>” (without the quotation marks) it will [...]
Google Reader on a ASUS Eee PC
I use my little ASUS Eee PC quite abit. In fact, I’m using it right now to write this post. The computer really is all kinds of amazing.
I really love being able to scan through Reddit and check email and sports scores without going down to the desktop computer in the basement.
I use [...]
