Book: Blog Design Solutions 3comments

Book: Blog Design Solutions Chris of K2, Akismet, Sillyness, Wordpress and many other fames (Boy, I butchered that one) is touting the sale of his book “Blog Design Solutions“. I urge you to pre-order his book if you are into blogging, design or blog and design. Chris is a great designer, a good friend and a very active member of the Wordpress community at large. I have to toot his horn.

Cell Phone Tools Collection 1comment

Cell Phone Tools Collection Yes, the name has been used before, but what can I say, it fits. :) Check out some of the new features including [EDIT] a new text message sender in addition to a bunch of bugfixes. A lot more is coming in the very near future.

  • Get Mime Type of existing File

    Get Mime Type of existing File This is more of a personal bookmark to brute force your way through finding out the MIME type of a file existing on your system through PHP. (3)
  • Must-have WordPress plugins

    Must-have WordPress plugins: Newsforge has put together a list of what they think are must-have wordpress plugins. I am sure a large number of these plugins are already very visible, but a list nonetheless. There is no mention of weblogtoolscollection (as a resource) anywhere in the article, but oh well. (2)

  • Blogosphere contracting?

    Blogosphere contracting? Assuming that both Sifry and Umbria are accurate and that these growth rates are remaining constant - the non-spam Blogosphere has peaked in size and is now contracting. Are we really losing real bloggers to spam blogs? (3)
  • WP Themes: Two Plaintext themes

    WP Themes: Two Plaintext themes Very nicely done, simple, text based, newsprint-like theme for Wordpress. I might actually use one of these one a personal blog. Very easy to read. (1)

  • Zillow.com

    Zillow.com: Very cool tool with some obvious benefits. Zillow is a property valuation search engine with map based tracking of home and property valuations across the USA. Though I do not visualize the revenue stream yet, realtors and realty marketing folks should find this tool not only useful for research but also find a niche marketing platform for sellers and buyers. I sat there and checked out every property I have owned in the past and the present. The numbers seem to be a tad off, but that is to be expected. (9)

Tag Cloud 6comments

Tag Cloud A reader asks:

Do you get anything out of the tagcloud at the bottom Weblog Tools Collection’s navigation page?

I personally like to know what gets thrown on top of which piles. However, are tag clouds useless? Are they useless in the context of blogs? What do you get out of the tag cloud from weblogtoolscollection.com? Did you know it existed? And last but not the least, have you every used a tag cloud to any level of usefulness beside just looking cool?

  • New Wordpress Themes

    New Wordpress Themes Just as an FYI, a bunch of new Wordpress themes have been released/announced in the news section of this blog. Please subscribe to the feed to keep up to date on the latest posted news. (1)

Poll: Google Toolbar 38comments

Most of us either have the Google Toolbar installed in IE and/or have a google search bar in Firefox/Mozilla. My question is, how many of us actually use the toolbar to search for things as opposed to visiting the Google homepage to make the queries?

I personally feel that the Google Homepage helps me formulate the search query better and find myself predominately using the Google Homepage.

Text-Link-Ads Amaze 14comments

Blog advertising is a prickly slope. I have dabbled in this poison for almost as long as I have blogged. Most of my adventures have been less than satisfactory and I have made just enough money to help me host my blogs and services. I recently decided to give Text-Link-Ads a try.

I really like it so far. This mode of advertising works much better than contextual advertising for sites such as mine. Text-Link-Ads are easy to setup and their customer service is excellent. There have been some bugs and discrepancies while they upgraded their systems and changed things around but these have always been resolved to my satisfaction without my interference. Patrick Gavin knows what customer service and a customer based business model is all about.

I love to promote and help businesses that I like. Text-Link-Ads offers a good product, are very easy to deal with and can become a relatively good source of income. Have you used their services? What did you think of it?

[EDIT] As Matt pointed out in the comments, the above links are referral links.

  • Blogonomics Blog Cruise 2006

    Blogonomics Blog Cruise 2006: Like blogging? Like the Carribean? Have approximately $1200 to spare? How about a Blog Cruise with the big shots? I have to say that this is a great idea and I wish I had the extra moola to join these high fliers in their quest for the ultimate blogging conference. Bloggers attending will include the likes of Robert Scoble, Nick Wilson and Steve Hall. I wonder if there is going to be a blogging Foo Camp held there? (0)
