Great collection of links, as usual! Thanks for rounding them up!
ReplyDeleteOh nice clever techie stuff there
ReplyDeleteThat was very interesting about page load time and its possible future effect on google ranking. I hadn't really thought about some of my widgets slowing my page down. Thanks, Cathy.
ReplyDeleteBack to say I liked the "hyperlink in new window", and "lengthen shortened url" stuff too. Very useful to me. Thanks again!
ReplyDeletethank you so much for the link! it's so nice to be recognized by my peers! now i'm off to check your other suggested links!
ReplyDeleteRhapsody-- You're welcome!
ReplyDeleteBlodeuedd-- I hope those techie links are useful to you!
Natalie-- You're welcome. It was an excellent post!
Susan-- I had some widgets that I absolutely loved but I had to get rid of them because they killed my page load time. I'm glad you found my techie links so useful!
Great round-up of links and newly discovered blogs, Cathy.
ReplyDeleteI have to check into the techie links - wondering about page load time and opening links in a new window.
Dawn-- People have commented on my much faster page load time, and now I'm afraid to monkey with it! LOL I have noticed that I'm getting picked up by search engines much more frequently. Also, the "opening links in a new window"...I keep telling myself that I'm going to do this and then I forget because I know that all I have to do is right click on links to open them in another window. Not everyone knows that, though!
