Blog Drive-Bys for 2007-03-27
Since I know I won't be able to do this every single day, I'll go ahead and do it while I can. I'm spreading some link love to the places I visited today:
***
While checking out who linked to my blog at Technorati, I came across Manzkie at Manzkie.com who posted an article pointing out "5 Great Articles For Newbie Bloggers" which led me to:
Philip Liu at I Help You Blog and his 101 great posting ideas that will make your blog sizzle. If you have the capability of using the tips given, your blog will indeed sizzle.
Maki from Dosh Dosh and 20 quick ways to increase your Alexa rank. A great article for anyone who understands that an increased Alexa rank means more readers.
David Gibbons at Zillow Blog and his tips on blog comments. My thoughts exactly.
Lorelle at Lorelle on WordPress on having a home link on your blog. This is something I have always understood, but there are obviously many who don't.
Easton Ellsworth at Business Blogwire on how to choose a blog topic among the many ideas you may be overwhelmed with. I may have to reread this several times.
***
I like getting pointed to articles that make sense. A recent comment pointed me to Let's Abolish The IRS!. The IRS is an organization I despise and ANY alternative has to be a better one.

Back to the blogroll:
Clair at A little piece of me decided to torture me with both slinkies AND Ace Ventura.
Chis at Autofocused graced us with yet another fantastic picture, this time of "Clach-na-Ben". I wonder if he knows how homesick he makes me for a place I have never been?
Jillian at Caution: Girl Underway threw up a picture just to confuse me. That's the lie I tell myself anyway and I'm sticking to it.
The lady at Comedy Plus graced us with pictures of spring. I just wish there WAS a spring in the Philippines. We only have two seasons: Dry and rainy.
Mick at CruftBucket showed us how cruel visitors to the zoo can be toward a captive audience. Do not feed the bears!
DragonLady at DragonLady's World did a quick rant about the contestants for a Grease play on Broadway. I dunno. I don't do plays.
Lyndon at Esplanade saved me the trouble of trying to follow a link from another site (that I lost the link to) and posted some pictures of "paper art". Kewl.
Goldcoaster at goldcoaster relayed a story about security vulnerabilities which cracks on Mac OS X as more insecure than Windows Vista. Suck on that, Apple fanboys!
John Chow at John Chow dot Com told us how to use AdWords to get more traffic and make money online. It's a good article, if making money is important to you. Using advertising to make money from advertising, in the case of Google, is a proven technique for those who can afford it.
Lingo Slinger at Lingo Slinger weaved a story that only the adults in us can understand.
MacBros at MacBros' Place posted a spoiler to the Battlestar Galactica season finale that I refused to read. I'm a couple of episodes behind and like being surprised once in a while. Damn you! I almost read it. If I did, I would be hating you for months (until the next season). FRACK!
Mawi from Mawe's Adobo informed us about another Philippines scandal video he put online. Adults only so BEWARE!
jer from nyquil.ORG provided us a copy of the email message he sent to flickr concerning their problems with identity theft. I wonder how long it will take for flickr to respond?
HMTKSteve from Ramblings from the Marginalized published another blog review. I can't say anymore. You have to read it.
J. Radke at the Secret Life of J Radke quoted Rod Serling (remember him?) about audience intelligence. Pay attention to this, it's important!
Randy Maugins while Surfing The Chaos informed us about Episode 13: Everything is Broken. Listen.
Sirrion at The Sanctuary named me as his "Blogger of The Week". It's hard to be humble.

I just added Second Effort to my blogroll specifically because of the Carmudgeon's mini-rant about an image for people over 50. Dinosaurs unite in the great rebellion!

Hello there, thank you so much for the link. I need it. Have a nice day.
Ooops!
Sorry, Maybe I should put a spoiler warning in that post.
Yup, I think I will.
There may be folks in other Countries that are behind a season.
I never thunk.
You've been Blogrolled.
I just caught this when going through my comments. I feel so dirty now.
Cheers for yet another link RT.
Another BSG fan eh? Excellent. We're about 10 eps behind in the UK, but those naughty people using Bittorrent aren't [cough].
Haven't seen the finale yet, so closing eyes whilst using the internet….
And you've been Technorati'd now too.
I torrent a lot of shows that I can't wait for. BSG was on the TV though in this case.
I torrent SG-1 (Boohoo it's finished), and Atlantis though.
I got ya covered, Mac. SG-1 will have some straight to video movies this summer, so it's SOMETHING to look forward to. I heard that two of the characters are moving to Atlantis.
I've known J. Radke since before his voice cracked!
I also see your new top article is in no danger of being dethroned!
Not unless I dethrone it manually. Who knows? And it is still getting diggs!
RT – Thanks for the drive-by and I promise to try to put humor in my memes from now on. Thanks for pointing that out. You are absolutely correct! Sorry you only have rainy and dry! That would take some getting used to.
your zillow link has a quote at the end of it which causes a 404. SMart browsers will realize it, but the rest of us might not
Drive-by blogging RULES. Untwisted is now in my links!

Hey, this IS a great blog! Now I'm thinking why didn't I put you in my blogroll earlier…
jer, I fixed it. The WordPress visual editor tacked on an extra quote and I didn't catch it. Thanks.
thanks for the links Richard.
