When people look at blogs they do not expect the content to be ads. Simple Ted.
If it is an advert, the article should clearly show that it is an advertorial. For longer content that means the top and the bottom of the article should clearly display a disclaimer. Simple Ted.
Don Dodge, Marketer Extraordinaire!
I have read every post Don Dodge has written in the last eight months. He is an excellent writer and every post highlights Microsoft’s successes and its competitions’ weaknesses.
Canonical Web Addresses
Although, I had often heard the word, I didn’t really know what canonical meant until recently. I am starting to understand now after working for Automattic on WordPress.
Coastal Vacations
The well known Spanish pyramid spammers — aka Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) *sic.
Oh, the pleasures of working on WordPress.com .
Making Life Better
Logging Conference
At the “logging” conference being held at the Forestry Sciences Centre at UBC.
The Moose Converse Again
Northern Voice: the annual blogging conference for everyone held in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
It is sold-out, starts tonight with a fantastic feast, and runs through Satursday. Tomorrow is the unconference Moose Camp and Saturday is the “formal presentations“.
One more sleep for me. Julia and I will take the ferry over first thing in the morning.
If you are going to be there and want to talk WordPress — or anything else, even Flock — say hi to me! I bite, but not too hard.
Do Follow WordPress
WordPress’ Dougal Campbell reminds all us WordPress bloggers to Do Follow.
I consider this a must install WordPress plugin, essential for free culture to collaborate. Basically, what Kimmo Suominen‘s dofollow plugin does is make your blog tell search engines that you think the links that commenters leave are important and part of a healthy Web.
Is there a Do Follow badge or button? Or a no “nofollow” one?
500,000 WordPress.com blogs
Wow. Fantastic celebratory graphic on WordPress.com’s home page!
Some of the blogs that I remember finding “interesting”:
- Consistently I really enjoy the content at //engtech about computing and computer culture
- Two very different Mark Kay communities: Mary Kay Voices and Pink Truth
- Mark [Jaquith] on WordPress blog
- The Disembodied Head of Dick Devos is about American politics I don’t understand, but I kept checking back there because of the awesome imagery
- And, of course, Julessilver
