WordPress Wednesday: Submit to Facebook April 1st, 2009 @ 9:15 am PDT
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 October 1st, 2008 @ 10:55 pm PDT
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 January 8th, 2008 @ 6:29 am PST
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 […]

A Rant about Keywords and URLs June 22nd, 2007 @ 6:28 am PDT
A day or two ago I was pinged by a co-worker from my previous job. He wanted to know why, during its recent redesign, I didn’t include keywords in the URLs of the pages on a site I originally built a long, long time ago. I told him that there was no concrete evidence anywhere […]

Alexa Is Skewed March 9th, 2007 @ 2:51 pm PST
I’ve often wondered how Alexa manages to get its data. Their stats never seem to synch with mine. It turns out there’s a fly in the ointment over there.
Mirror or Redirect? February 2nd, 2007 @ 8:39 am PST
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 October 25th, 2006 @ 7:41 pm PDT
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 October 4th, 2006 @ 6:04 am PDT
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 […]
