The Scribe plugin has enthusiastic user reviews, claiming it has been a solid piece to their SEO puzzle and done near miraculous things for SEO. Scribe promises to increase your traffic without a lot of hassle, and does it in three ways: research, optimization, and connection. Scribe tells you what search engines will see your post as being about. We’ve been using Scribe for three months, and we have seen an increase in traffic. That alone is probably enough to convince some bloggers. There are a few things to consider before laying out the money for this plugin, however.

I’ll just say it: I think tag clouds suck. At one point in time they were definitely seen as the cat’s pajamas, the soup du jour, and a general icon of the Web 2.0 movement (remember that?!). But now I think they have very little place in our economy – their usage statistics and engagement statistics are terrible. And sadly I would know since I used them heavily when they first came out and yet their click-through rates were paltry, to say the least. Not to mention that they were ugly as sin, and still are. There has never been […]

It has been quite an eventful and productive last few weeks for me both at work and at home.  Whether its a project at work or a personal project, sometimes you have time to kill when waiting for a response or the “go ahead” to complete something. Those are times when we can try to catch up on other things. Surprisingly enough, I have found that my habits of cleanliness or having an organized area truly effect my work habits in an overall sense. I have gotten a lot more done, in my mind, which means less stress and more […]

Multisite is a WordPress configuration that allows you to manage several sites or blogs from one installation of WordPress.
