You see the WTFMO widget on the side of my blog. It’s a scam. For a while there I was signing up for everything like a maniac. Not that that is a bad thing. It is good to stake your claim on a few social networks. In fact, I have heard it said you should, before an imposter pops in and claims your username before you can get it. Not that anyone would want to impersonate me, but it’s a nice pipe dream.
I have been looking at the layout on my blog for a little while now, calculating what I wanted to change about it. But I didn’t make the changes right away. I just noted them and went on with other things. There was a lot of changes I wanted to do and a little more research needed to be done before I did any of them.
I signed up as a sponsor of the MoneyBites contest a couple of weeks ago. One of the things I gave away was ad space, which gave me a deadline for redoing my site a little. Well, that deadline was two days ago.

I don’t like rehashing. Most of the time I wait until I had something to add to a topic before I jump in, whether it be a new technique or some research results or maybe just a point of view, which may be closer to an attitude. I’ll leave that to you to define.
I noticed the other day that my feeds stopped showing my delicious bookmarks. Every they would post automatically but only in the feeds. So I checked delicious.
They changed how they post your bookmarks. Now you can post them to an actual blog post with trackbacks. So by adding your comments to your description, you can create speedlink posts from your bookmarks throughout the day and delicious will post them to your blog whenever you choose. You can choose a specific category to post to if you want. Mine are in "Findings". I’ll have to rename that one.
According to ReadWriteWeb, they didn’t even make it to #6. But, of course, bookmarking is so last year. Delicious is #1, of course. And Magnolia is #2. Just interesting.
This is a great article on getting traffic from social networks. Enough said. Read the rest there.
