SXSW: Scaling Your Community: Good summary of Matt’s talk on scaling the WordPress community and his insights into the process of building one of the most powerful Open Source models. I have never had a chance of hearing Matt speak outside of podcasts and the occasional video (maybe at WordCamp this year) but his insights are definitely worth the read. I wish Matt was podcasting his talks. In related questions, do you have WordCamp plans?

WordPress Tips

This article will be focused on how SEO should be a focus when designing a theme (for those that really care about the search engine traffic). Why should I design with SEO in mind? Think of a robot as the same thing as a human visitor. What’s the first thing it’s going to see? This article is going to be a little shorter and to the point. When you’re designing a theme, put the key links and elements you want a search engine to see, up in the top part of the theme. Here are two examples of good usage of header space (in the HTML, not in the actual design): http://cutline.tubetorial.com/ | view-source http://www.ginside.com/200..yword-search/ | view-source So what do these two examples do well?

Here at WeblogToolsCollection, we try to put aside Sunday as Blog Vacation Day. Of course, I am violating that theory by writing this post but for the most part, we set aside Sunday to put our house in order. We clean posts, trim and manage comments and spam, play with the code and plugins, mess with the ads, reply to emails, formulate weekly posts, plan out the rest of the week and generally just post nothing on the live blog. That gives us a reason to come back on Monday and start afresh and I believe it really helps. Do you have a Blog Vacation Day? If so, which one and why?
