Some minor site hacks
I added a message board to BarFly Magazine the other day. I really need to install the static url mod, much like I did on my Redding forum.
I had problem when I initally did the static urls, it wasn’t letting me get into the PHPBB admin panel. Not sure what was causing that.
I tend to be an anal freak about static URLing my sites. For one, it makes thing bookmarkable, and even though it seems search algo’s don’t really care too much about url text, it seems to help slightly. However, my Redding CA website recently fell in MSN. It seems they turned a knob that indicates hyphenated URLS ie keyword1-keyword2.com have less importance. I have fallen from positioning in their engine before, then been back in a few days, so it could be a fluke. I hope this isn’t permanent, as they sent me some good, profitable traffic.
I also recently did some work for Remote Control Mail. Interesting service they are offering, it was a quicky design done about 12 hours before launch. There is alot of work that it needs done before it is truly ready, but it was done enough for launch.
I’m also looking at building a site for people relocating to Portland. My friend Carla Muss Jacobs does an incredible job of finding homes for out of towners to purchase, I’d like to help her business out a bit.
