Twitter Tweet Retweet Button – Time to Give it Try

Dec 032009
 

No user testing here. I just installed the Twitter Retweet button on to my blog, and am going to give it a try. I can’t ignore it anymore. Looking at many of the top blogs out there, that button just keeps subconsciously saying to me, “Add this to your blog”. I finally did it, and you can find it on the bottom left of this, and every post I’ve made.

I use WordPress for this blog, and if you do to, the easy way to install this plugin is by simply searching the plugin archive through your dashboard for the plugin titled: tweetmeme. Then you are just one click from having it yourself. TweetMeme supports several other applications besides WordPress as well. Continue reading »

The Vacation!

The vacation starts now! I wish everyone, that celebrates it, a Happy Thanksgiving!

How to Write an “About Me” Page

Nov 202009
 

Whether visitors are on your blog or your business website, they expect to find an “About Me” or “About Us” page. For a blog it offers credibility, and a way to get personal with your audience. With a business website it can enhance credibility, it can present a better picture about your core functions, SELL, and even help brand your company.

An About Me Page is More Important than You May Think

Taking a look at the stats from twelve random sites that I manage, I found the average site had 5.5% of all its pages views occurring on the About Me page. With business websites the About Us page can nearly account for 20% of all your traffic! The highest percentage I saw was actually 19%. Every site I looked at had traffic on the about page, even a humor site where I expected none. Visitors expect to find it, and will look for it. Continue reading »

Kids Captured and Released Swine Flu

Nov 112009
 

Am I a carrier of the Swine Flu? Could be. My whole family got something nasty with the known symptoms. We managed to stay home the entire time, since Thursday last week. This is not something you want to spread, even if it isn’t the swiner. Note to moms getting ready to send you kids back to school. If they have a fever today, do not send to school tomorrow.

Anyhow, I was lucky enough to snap a picture of the nasty little guy, and I thought I would share it with you. Just like my youngest shared it with the family! Continue reading »

Evil Auto Loading Flash Videos

Nov 102009
 

Music, videos, script, and anything that has to do something after page load is a burden on users. When is enough enough? When people started figuring out how to add music to websites it took off like crazy. Then people figured out that users might already be listening to music, heard lots of complaints about it, and they stopped. At least most of them.

Well now there is a new technology, and it’s called video. Want proof that history often repeats itself? Just look around for websites that automatically load video now. The numbers are insane, and apparently these people have no clue, or have completely forgotten the lesson learned from adding auto loading music. Users don’t want auto playing extras!
