Blog Drive-Bys

After reading Benedict Herold's review of autocasting services at TechCorner, I'm left wondering why I haven't seen this on any blogs I've been "driving by". Having a text-to-speech service for blog articles seems like an interesting addition. It would certainly help people who have poor eyesight. I think I'm going to investigate this further.

I had to do a double-take when I looked at the photo that Steve of cymru66 put up. Look closely. Most of the red dragon is made up of flowers. I'm curious as to the size of it, but I have no eye for such things. It could be small or it could be huge.

Maybe it's not his blog, but he contributes to it. Ahbinav Sood, one of my guest blog authors, posted some funny baby pictures (twice!) at Funny Guy's Blog. Maybe Pankaj Sood is a brother or a cousin?

I usually ignore the daily style of memes, but Gabrielle's picture of a handbag at a metamorphoself of gabrielle, made with denim and two old long play albums (you know, the kind we had before CDs) made me stop, look and read. She didn't mention the cost and whether they were old, thick kind of record albums or the not quite as old, thinner kind. My bet is that it's the newer kind. The bag would probably break the first time it was dropped if the old kind was used.

Fong at Blog Gigs doesn't appear to give himself enough credit for the writing that he does on his blog. I found his article on three different kinds of bloggers to be interesting. I think I'm one of the third kind, except that I don't care what the first and second kind do. I try to be as original as I can be.

I didn't upload my robots.txt file until after I read the SEO article at Ask Apache. The header trick by itself was worth the visit. I can't wait to see the duplicate content disappear from Google's search engine listings (fingers crossed).

I really have to remember the prank I just watched at Geeks Are Sexy. Mentos and Coke. I think I would die laughing as soon as the soda started shooting out.

Hans wrote a very interesting article (I said article, Hans, not post) containing "8 Powerful Ways To Add Value To Your Blog" at Blogosquare. I think I'm only in one bad spot on that list. I write too much.

Gerri at Absolutely True tells us that two TV stations are going to get some "questionable" call letters for station identification. I don't know about you, but I'd like an audio copy of any broadcast from either of them that has an announcer saying those call letters. I can picture myself having a heck of a belly laugh.

Scott at Savvy Affiliate examines what to do after the next Google PageRank update. That update is coming real soon. The graph he posted may or may not be indicative of page rank updates but it does indicate there are more searches for the term.
