19Twittering with Twitterific
I've been hooked on Twitter for a while now, (I'm @jdevalk, follow me!) and I use Twitterific mostly when I'm at my Mac. Rae invited me and a couple of other people, through Twitter of course, to do a small review of the program we use, in my case, Twitterific (sorry, Mac only).
So here [...]Continue reading: Twittering with Twitterific

68PageRank sculpting - Siloing and more
PR sculpting seems to be "all the rage" at the moment. Tracking the conversation back seems to get me to an article by Dan Thies of september 4th last year, pointing back to an interview with Matt on SEOmoz. It's been a whole load of buzz lately, coming up at SES again a few times [...]

3SES NY 2008
So I'm in the big Apple, my first trip ever to the States, to speak at the Search Engine Strategies 2008 conference here, and it's a blast so far! I spoke yesterday on the Search Around the World - Europe session, and it was fun, getting a lot of good feedback. Today I walked around [...]

13Replacing plugins with template code: Gravatars
Lately I've been trying to reduce the number of plugins I've got loading to speed up my WordPress a bit, especially those plugins that do "stuff" in my theme. I've been replacing these plugins with template code, and this is the easiest fix I had so far: I replaced a 40k gravatar plugin with one [...]

6Co-host at the Shoemoney show
I co-hosted the Shoemoney show on WebmasterRadio with Jeremy Schoemaker yesterday evening, and it was fun! This time, instead of calling in, I Skyped in, and it all worked flawlessly. We spoke to Richard Zwicky of Enquisite, who's an intelligent guy and a pleasure to talk with, and then rattled on a bit about nothing [...]

11PageRank sculpting: my view
Dave did a good post about nofollow sculpting, and he got a very good quote from Matt Cutts:
Nofollowing your internals can affect your ranking in Google, but it's a 2nd order effect.
My analogy is: suppose you've got $100. Would you rather work on getting $300, or would you spend your time planning how to spend [...]Continue reading: PageRank sculpting: my view

17Sociable update
I've updated Sociable last night, it now includes a few more social sites, mostly small ones, but also two big Spanish sites: Menéame and BarraPunto, the Spanish version of Digg and SlashDot. The best new addition is terribly simple but fun though, it's the forward by email button you now see below this post too. [...]

16Custom WordPress database error pages
WordPress 2.3.2 (we're on 2.3.3 at the moment) introduced a nice new feature which has been on my todo list for quite a while, and I've now finally gotten around to: the possibility to create a custom database error page. The idea is simple, you upload a file called db-error.php to your wp-content directory, and [...]

46A Dutch discussion on paid links
Here in the Netherlands we have this long history of having so called startpagina's. They're basically collections of links to websites around a subject, with each subject having it's own subdomain. They're named after startpagina.nl, the first, biggest and probably best of it's kind, and there are many, many, many, many clones.
These pages were notorious [...]Continue reading: A Dutch discussion on paid links
