Ive been blogging consistently everyday now for two weeks. But I haven’t simply kept it to writing, I’ve been working on the layout and design elements of my blogs; time consuming indeed. Last month, I…
So there I was, leaning over my laptop keyboard, reading this great article about the upcoming Pacquiao vs Hatton fight. The post had a “Tweet This!” button. Naturally, excited to tweet this story I liked and wanted to tell all my followers about what I just read, I clicked it and surprisingly I got a message saying, “Twitter is Over Capacity”. At first I was pretty shocked and bummed because I couldn’t Tweet! but after a second, I thought, “Well, its about time! :)”
*sigh* oh Twitter… I’m going to call this the “value add” for my “Using Twitter To Promote Websites” post I wrote yesterday. Because after I wrote that post, I went to check if I had…
Although my Twitter count may not have the numbers to prove it, I started using twitter in July 2007. It was barely a year old at the time (founded March 2006). The cool thing about it is I was part of this micro-blogging boom at an early stage, but the problem was, who was I going to follow and who was going to follow me? *sigh*
Text Links vs. Image Links. This is not a new concept. In fact, I debated about writing this post simply because of its elementary SEO level. However, The reason why Im writing this post is because a) I was recently tested on this SEO foundations level question and b) there are still many people learning SEO today and can teach them how to create SEO Friendly websites. In this post, I’ll provide an example of how a images within your website can be optimized using a combination of CSS and SEO basics.
Recently, I was tested on how I would optimize a catalog page on a website. The page was comprised of 12+ image-based links. At first glance, each link 1) had the text as part of the image and 2) switch when you hovered your mouse over it. So, my solution was use a technique that incorporates an Image Replacement Technique (read Mezzoblue on this technique) which does away with using an image tag within the link structure and replaces it with anchor text and then using CSS display the image in the background. But, after viewing the source code, it was easy to see that these links were more complex and that screen dithering can be deceiving.
Giving bloggers incentive to blog about an event; something I haven’t seen before. The Next Web Conference 2009 is offering bloggers special treatment if they blog about their event; there’s a discount, seating with wired internet access and more!
While I was studying at SAIT Polytechnic, I took a position as the Web Master / Manager for SAITSA (Sait Students’ Association) newspaper. I redesigned the look and implemented a content management system that won…
Vimeo has been out for over a year most definitely. I started using it last year after I discovered it off a blog. I started using it more often to drive traffic to one of my newer blogs promoting Filipino Celebrities. I call it Video SEO and often refer to it as Video Sharing Leverage.
Making money with Google Adsense doesn’t happen overnight. If you’re making $500+ per day from Adsense, who wouldn’t want to show those numbers off? But, If you’re only making $20 per month, showing off your Adsense earnings with a screenshot, probably isn’t the same.
Geron Corp (GERN), a biotechnology company based in Menlo, CA, has FDA approval for the first Embryonic Stem-Cell Research Trial in the US. This approval represents a new era in medical therapeutics.
California has always been on the forefront of Stem-Cell research in the US. However, for the last 10 years, Stem-Cell research has received endless opposition. One of the reasons for this is due to the fact that embryonic stem-cells can only be cultivated from embryos, which some consider to have the same affect as having an abortion.
