Sunday, May 25th, 2008

When MP3 came out, it revolutionized the way we listen to music. No longer did it need to be played from a physical medium like a tape or a disk, now music could be played from a storage device and the software available allowed you to start the song from any point by just dragging a pointer along a horizonal bar.

One of the drawbacks of the current blogging platform is the fact that the content displayed on the page is static - it won't update until you tell it to, by revisiting the page or refreshing the browser.

A ‘nofollow-Free’ Blog

Monday, May 12th, 2008

I happy to announce that this blog is now free of any nofollow comands that used to prevent Google and other search engines from influencing the link target's ranking in the search engine's index. This meant every comment prior to this was effected and potentially worthless as a link. This won't encourage spam though as I'll still remove anything which I don't like. You can find out more about the DoFollow plugin for your blog or download it directly here: sem-dofollow (zip) Read Article »
