RSS Homepage Feed Broken? Fixed.

  • 14 Aug, 2005

It seems that my RSS extractor code on my homepage isn’t working well at the moment. I’m looking into it though. [update] I figured it out. Took me a few trys, but I checked the box in WordPress that says “WordPress should compress articles (gzip) if browsers ask for them” and that caused feed errors […]

Photo Galleries

  • 14 Aug, 2005

I’ve added a plug-in so that I can upload some of my images from Search Engine Strategies and other events. This is just a test so that I can learn how it works. If it’s successful, I’ll get more images up later in the week.

SES 2005

  • 12 Aug, 2005

I made it home safe and sound, barely. I found myself cutting it close getting to the airport once. 😉 I have so much information to share but the weekend is filled up with family stuff so I’ll try to post it as the week goes on. All in all it was a good conference […]

Met Stuntdubl – Day 3

  • 11 Aug, 2005

I got to meet Todd Malicoat aka Stuntdubl tonight and Justilien Gaspard (I think that’s right as I don’t seem to have a business card) from WeBuildPages.com. Both are really nice guys and I enjoyed talking with and getting to know the business from their point of view. Both gave me some great information and […]

Just got back from the GoogleDance and it was a lot of fun. Got pictures too. I know I haven’t gotten any posts up today but I’ve been busy. Hopefully more information tomorrow.

Yahoo Search Night Off

  • 9 Aug, 2005

Yahoo Search Night Off was a lot of fun. They rented out Paramounts Great America and we were given free food, drinks, ice cream and rides! I only made it on three rides, however they were fun rides. Especially when riding in the front of the Top Gun roller coaster. Inverting was cool too 😀

Personalized Search & Search History

  • 8 Aug, 2005

Another session I was looking forward to but not really impressed with. It was mainly about Yahoo, Google, Ask and A9 talking about their personalized search and search history services. How they worked, how they can improve your personal search and things like that. No real information on how they would effect regular search results […]
