Perfect Math
Tonight I watched Proof. Before I got a computer I watched movies all day long while reading books. Now a chance to watch a movie comes few and far between. And because it does and it is one of my favorite things to do is veg out for hours and watch a movie, it gives my mind a chance to look at my work from a little perspective. The work I had been looking at with a microscope for weeks at time. If I can get far enough away for a little while, the answer will come.
Visual Thinking
I have been writing in journals and drawing these, as well as working on my sites, of course. But I have been hard at work. So I write intricate descriptions of site plans and have started keeping a journal just for diagrams, doodles and random thoughts. But the writing has been active writing. Writing and then doing with no time to edit it into something readable for my blog before I have a chance to test it. All I really want is a site that thinks for itself.

And here are some similar phrases that I put in the same basket:
- “We are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and an example of modern credulity is the widespread belief that the Earth is round. The average man can advance not a single reason for thinking that the Earth is round. He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth century mentality.”- George Bernard Shaw
Canonical Tag Flying Under the Radar?

This is a guest post by Craig Smith of Trinity Insight.
In early February of this year, search engine representatives within Google, Yahoo, and MSN (before it was Bing) made an announcement into a uniform method of embracing a new html tag to reduce duplicate content for a webmaster. This “canonical” tag, which would be inserted within the HEAD portion of any HTML document, is a great way to reduce potential negative affects that can happen when you have the same page indexed multiple times under a variety of URL’s
Not My Last Word on the Subject of SEO and Online Marketing
I just recently built a e-Commerce site. Only about 20% of the products are up but we decided to launch it. It was time to start getting links and making sales. The domain had no links pointing to it. We had paid for no advertising yet.
As the owner browsed to Google, he said, “I just want to check something.” You see, the domain was a keyword based one. What he was checking is if we showed up in the SERP‘s. I just couldn’t understand why.
A Random Walk Through WordPress Plugins
WordPress plugins don’t stop coming. My initial idea with this blog was to build a set of plugins and then once I thought I was set, download the plugin folder and use it for my other blogs. But, like I said, the cool plugins keep on coming.
So today I took a random walk though the WordPress plugin repository just to see what’s up. No search terms. Just some browsing. And here are some cool plugins I found.
A complex ad serving and content plugin. It supports ad-rotation, scheduling, and works with widgets.
