WordPress Wednesday: Submit to Facebook

Wednesday April 1, 2009

I am not a fan of Facebook. I hardly ever visit the place and am usually just annoyed by all the little “applications” that people send me constantly. But … it is a terrific way to get traffic to your site. People on Facebook tend to be the type that just click everything they see. [...]

A Look Back to the Future

Wednesday October 1, 2008

This is sure to be wildly popular: Google 2001. “In honor of our 10th birthday, we’ve brought back our oldest available index. Take a look back at Google in January 2001.” How cool is that? It’s pretty funny to do some searches to see what they’d indexed. I’m strangely proud to note, of course, that [...]

Plaxo Is Stealing Comments

Tuesday January 8, 2008

The original Plaxo is a little address-book organizing tool that I had always liked quite a bit. It’s got an Outlook plug-in which lets it sit in there and pay attention to the email addresses of people who email me and the people I email. There’s some global information superhighway sort of thing out there [...]

Saturday March 31, 2007

A few weeks ago a friend of mine asked me to build a WordPress plugin to display a Gunning-Fog analysis on his blog. The math part was pretty easy stuff. I was having a borch of a time getting the plugin to count syllables, so I hunted through Google and found someone else had written [...]

Mirror or Redirect?

Friday February 2, 2007

Everyone knows that I own the davidgagne.net domain name. I also own the davidgagne.org and the davegagne.org domains. Here’s my question: Should I configure those two domains to redirect to this one? Or should I set them to be mirrors of this one? Dreamhost gives me both options, and I’m trying to decide which one [...]

Top 50 Davids

Wednesday October 25, 2006

Awesome! I am the 46th most important “David” in the world. That’s according to Google, at least. Today I read a post over at Tempus Fugit about being a top ten Mark and figured I’d take a look and see where I rank among the Davids of the world. Forty-six! I honestly didn’t think I’d [...]

How-To: WordPress Tags

Wednesday October 4, 2006

Tags! They’re everywhere! It seems like every site on the ‘net is adding tagging now. Tag clouds — ridiculous, pointless, and annoying — are not the reason. Tagging is a good way to get into Technorati and a good way to get more traffic to your site. It’s a nifty way to organize your posts [...]
