Headspace2: The End Of An Era in SEO

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Plugins, SEO, Wordpress | 0 comments

Headspace2 is no longer supported. I can’t tell you how sad I am. Frustrated. Confused. Maybe a little bitter. Headspace2 was an SEO plugin I found some time ago. As anyone who follows me knows, it’s a plugin I have proclaimed long and loud. I install it on all my client blogs. I teach how to set it up. I encouraged it’s use far and wide. And now it’s gasping it’s last. The Handwriting On The Wall For Headspace2 I can’t say it’s a complete surprise to me however. For some time there have been little niggling issues after each update. A quick review at Google for the search term “headspace2...

Unlimited Backup For The Price Of Coffee

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Product Review | 0 comments

Okay, you might have noticed it’s been a bit quiet around here. In fact, it’s positively ghost town-ish. That’s because I’ve been as busy as a one-armed-paper-hanger on a new project. A project near and dear to my little geeky heart. Something I wish had existed back in 2006 when I lost a client data file. The only copy of the file in existence! This one little snafu almost cost me a 7 year relationship with a client. And frankly, I wouldn’t have blamed them. I Was Humiliated That dismal day in the early summer when my computer choked while I was onsite and ate the 2 gig client data file I was there to install,...

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Online Marketing | 2 comments

First Impressions Count. Does Your Site Render Well On Mobile? As a web designer or site owner, you owe it to your customers to offer a place on the web they can visit to learn more about you, on the device of their choice. Sites that display only one way are doing to be missing out on a LOT of potential visitors, especially as the smart phones, tablets and iPad’s take center stage in the mobile users world. So, if you aren’t thinking about it, now is definitely the time. Mobile Means A Rethink Of Your Web Design Your site, your brand and your web presence can no longer just be a fixed width site (or blog) that only displays if...

Trackback Spam: The Price Of Page Rank

Posted by Cenay Nailor in Defend Your Blog, FAQ | 0 comments

I don’t mind telling you, there is a downside to finally getting your blog a page rank. Trackback Spam. And yes, I have written before about the wonderful way to get inbound links to your blog using Trackback’s, but this isn’t what I meant. Leave it to spammers to take a perfectly good, innocent and well thought out tool and corrupt it. Trackback Spam verses Legitimate Trackback’s There is a difference. Trackback spam is the automated crap that crawls the web looking for sites with Page Rank, and one word that matches their needs. Hell, I don’t even think the one word is a requirement. Once found, the bot...

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Software | 2 comments

As you probably already know, *eye-candy* for your blog posts help make it easy to read, keeps your visitor’s attention longer and helps convey the emotional content (where applicable). But consistently adding images and making them appropriate to the post means having access to a photo editor. So, if Photoshop is on your wish list but not in your tool box you should keep reading. I found an online photo editing and screen capture utility to allow you to grab the images on your computer screen so you can edit them easily. A photo editor you can use online that has many of the features of Photoshop, GIMP and Paint.net but is easier...

If you have followed my advice on your browser of choice, you might have noticed that after running a while, FireFox gets a little RAM hungry. I found a tweak you can do to improve performance and reclaim some of the memory it eats voraciously.

Posted by Cenay Nailor in FAQ, Featured, SEO | 4 comments

I know, it sounds like a tall order, doesn't it? But you can do it with a little forethought, some planning and an eye on the SEO ball. Here is a checklist I use for my posts. Understand though, sometimes I get two out of three, sometimes only 1. A really good post will have all three, so that's your goal.

As anyone who knows me can attest, I am a rabid Firefox fan. I found one more reason to crow about the virtues of Firefox. It's an addon for Firefox that allows you to check your site and give you a grade based on selected criteria.
