Variables in your CSS via PHP: Good writeup/tutorial on using PHP to control the way your page looks. I love the way Chris writes, but this article is even more poignant as it also talks very candidly about OOP in php (which is sorely lacking in larger percentage of all PHP code)

FeedBurner introduces interactive RSS with a good writeup (and via) here. I cannot help but stop and think how this will jive with the fact that feeds will have to change along with presently published content, thus forcing readers to view old content (with slightly modified matter) as new content. For example, if the number of comments on a post change, that might not be enough for many people to have to download that content again. If that is not the case, then is the content truly dynamic/interactive beside being simple links?

Closed, Open Source Share Compatibility Problems
Closed, Open Source Share Compatibility Problems: Interesting take on the compatibility problems brought onto Wordpress by the latest versions of Mysql running in “strict” mode as default. Especially poignant here because I see well greased programmers moving to the postgresql model because of a shift of ideologies of the mysql group. I should look into the added benefits that the strict model provides to the system.

Why Bloggers Don’t Need SEOIf you write a great blog, and make an effort to network your niche and gain those all important regular deep links to your posts from other bloggers, you’ll rank, your archives will be monetized, particularly if you pay attention to such things as Time Sensitive Adsense, and your blog will be in Better Health. Well said, Nick! (11)

Tech Blogs Critique
Tech Blogs Critique: I am not sure how to name/tag this article from the Wall Street Journal and I also cannot place whether he is praising or denouncing the new fangled tech blogs and blog aggregating mechanisms but he does echo some of my own thoughts. If you’re clever enough, you can make a career out of complaining about never being mentioned by the blog-aggregation sites. A Google Search on the author Lee Gomes yields some very interesting results. (0)
