U comment I follow
In case you were wondering, this blog has the Kimmo Suominen’s plugin DoFollow installed – and enabled. I haven’t made much a fuss about it because to me it’s a no brainer that it has to be there, but I realized people may be looking for it. I am back dating this post so it won’t bother you unless you’re looking for it… So please do comment, your link will be followed by Google.

I have made a rather late discovery in the modern Internet world. RSS feeds. I have been using them for quite a while in feeding my own content back to my site from several sources, but I haven’t really subscribed to other people’s feeds. Nowadays more or less all blogs have them though, and I finally realised and it is pretty easy way to keep track of blogs! (It shouldn’t come as a surprise really.) Nowadays I subscribe easily if I’m for example surfing through EntreCard blogs and see something I like but am not...
read moreComic Sans MS is BAD, okay?
I recently had a conversation with a good friend, who’s website is written in Comic Sans Ms. We are working on her new site, and I told her that I absolutely forbid her from using Comic Sans Ms ever again as long as she lives. She promised, but added “I don’t know what’s wrong with it though.” I’m sure she is not alone with this conundrum, seeing how often the font is used in places it has no business being used. So I’ll try to give you a few reasons. Comic Sans Ms is designed to be used in comics,...
read moreWhat happens if you take web design too far?
We have all heard, that you should check your code that it is properly generated. Your site should look the same on every browser and every computer. It should also look the same if a colour blind person looks at it. It shouldn’t contain images so that it’s easy to download with slow connection, and you shouldn’t use browser specific markup language. Quite frankly, I personally think all of the above is more or less crap. The thing is, that today most “civilised” countries have a reasonable Internet connection...
read moreEntreCard is back on the menu
This controversial little blog promotion tool has now made a big jump towards rewarding for comments posted on other’s blogs. Joined up with sezwho, EntreCard is hoping to encourage people to comment and leave feedback on others blogs – and being rated for their comments to stop them from just saying “nice post” to everything. So, this being the case, EntreCard is back on my sidebar, I am taking adverts and let’s see how it goes, as I have had my reservations in the past as you may remember. The new partnership...

Hmph. Unfortunately, this one is going. I started using it a while ago, and it seemed like it could be worth the trouble at first. People were coming in, adverts were being applied for and I got a lot of drops. However, the thing is, I hoped it would make blogging more social. I mean, I comment on yours, spark your interest to visit mine, then you would comment on my blog or maybe even do a ping back on your post as I inspired you, but no… None of that has happened. What I do get is a lot of drops, from people advertising their own blogs...
