Posted on Oct 30, 2007 in CSS, Coding, Development, Wordpress | 0 Comments
I just wanted to post a quick note about my next, and first, article series that I am working on.
I am working on a 3 part series about using skip links for your site. In this 3 part series, I will look at defining what skip links (or jump links) are and how they work, the debate over using them, and finally how to implement them in your site to improve accessibility and usability.
I hope you will enjoy this series, and the first post should be live Thursday morning!
Keep informed about this and other posts with my RSS feed.

How Google Page Rank Changes Affected Me
Posted on Oct 27, 2007 in SEO, Social Networking | 12 Comments
Last week, Google made some changes to the way that they calculate the page rank score of individual web sites. For most sites, this doesn’t make a difference, however, some of the more popular blogging sites were affected dramatically.
I didn’t pay much attention to the page rank issue as since this site was created, and up until a few weeks ago, my page rank score from Google was a 0. That’s right, a whopping 0 (zero).

Posted on Oct 25, 2007 in Knowledge, Social Networking | 7 Comments
Well, I took the plunge and signed up for Digg a little over a month ago. I was wanting to see what all of the hype about with the social networking sites, and Digg was the first one I signed up for. Part of me was curious about whether there was any benefit to signing up as a site owner, and I can tell you there is some. But more importantly, I was wanting to see what everyone else was sharing. I have found some great sites while browsing and searching through the Digg site, and have met several great people too.
So, if you are new to Digg or just curious, I want to pass along 5 tips that I have found to be helpful and some of the pitfalls to avoid to make your Digg experience better.

To WWW or not, part 2
Posted on Oct 22, 2007 in Coding, Development, SEO, Wordpress | 0 Comments
In my previous article entitled “To WWW or not and how to redirect your blog“, I wrote about a neat plugin for Wordpress users that allow you to specify the URL redirection. If your not familiar with this process, let me take a moment to describe why I use it.
When I first registered this domain name, it was registered without the www portion in front of it, so that when someone visits ejcross.com they come upon my site. The one issue that I became aware of while monitoring site statistics was that people were also using www.ejcross.com to get to this site. This got me curious about whether there was any search engine optimization problems that this would create.
