Headspace2: The End Of An Era in SEO
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.

Read MoreTrackback Spam: The Price Of Page Rank
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.

Once found, the bot...

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.
