EasyWP WordPress Installer - Cause There Ain’t No Such Thing As “Too Easy”
Posted at 8:30 am | Filed Under Social Media, blogthropology, coding, nerdiness
Let’s face it… generally speaking, installing WordPress is not exactly an arduous task. It’s designed to be relatively easy, allowing pretty much anyone to set up a blog of their own, regardless of their technical expertise. For the most part, WordPress succeeds at this. However,

You MUST Charge Matt Cutts For Linking To Him
Posted at 8:05 pm | Filed Under Cuttisms, Google, Social Media, blogthropology, nerdiness
No, seriously folks. Links have value. If they didn’t have value, then Google wouldn’t care about people buying and selling them. Since they have value, we must avoid even the appearance of impropriety. Not only is it what he wants… it’s Google policy. And even if it weren’t Google policy,

Ok, so I just had 2 of my WP installs hacked, on 2 different servers. This is not the same thing that Shoemoney reported on a few days back (hidden link injection), and as of yet I have not seen any definitive answers as to what it is. All of my blogs were upgraded to [...]

Did Twitter Just Get Mybloglog-Dotted?
Posted at 2:43 pm | Filed Under On The Ball-ness, Social Media, blogthropology, nerdiness
Today Mybloglog went live with a new profile layout. In it they have incorporated a feature, by default, that shows everybody what their friends are Twittering (assuming that they have added in their Twitter information, of course). Twitter has apparently promptly responded by having a nervous breakdown.

Maybe The Wired Guys AREN’T The Tech Geek Gods We All Thought They Were
Posted at 9:50 am | Filed Under On The Ball-ness, coding, nerdiness
Yesterday, Smackdown noted that Wired put a robots.txt in place in response to spammers trying to use their wiki for spamalicious links. Oddly enough, that robots.txt also blocked everyone and everything, including Google and all the rest of the search engines, from the site. (Caveat: When I say “blocked everyone”, I’m referring to [...]

One of the sites I own happens to involve electronic poetry. On that site, on the bottom of the pages, I incorporated a news feed. Nothing fancy, just shows a few stories, their headlines, links, and brief snippets. Occasionally, for news stories with very few results, someone will stumble across my site when researching the [...]

Single Source Page Link Test Using Multiple Links With Varying Anchor Text - Part Two
Posted at 12:37 am | Filed Under SEO, blogthropology, coding, nerdiness, web design
Back on October 9th, I blogged about a test I performed that demonstrated only the first link on a given page will count as far as ranking purposes go. In the thread where the test originated, pops (of TOONRefugee cartoon blog) asked what would happen if the first link were nofollowed. Since I had no [...]
