Google posted an interactive visualization, dare I say infographics, on how its search works: How Search Works I remember when I learned this very same topic 6 years ago in Library school. It was fascinating, but compared to that this page didn’t give me new information. What it did provide was nice visuals, that makes it more digestible for the...
Search Engine Journal pulled together a basic SEO article for WordPress sites. I was familiar with most of what they recommended, but still found four tools that were new to me: Better WordPress Minify: Allows you to minify your CSS and JS files for faster page loading for visitors. Schema Creator by Raven: Provides an easy to use form to embed properly...
Chris Silver Smith‘s comprehensive column on Is Social Media Worthwhile For Local Businesses? at Search Engine Land runs down the dis/advantages on why you should (not) get involved in social media if you have a local shop or business.

Meaning that you wanted to end result of the cell where yuo used the function to have double-quotes at specific points.

I enjoy and look out for signs of my worlds colliding; e.g. This morning I first read on an SEO site (Search Engine Land) about the new PEW report on Library Services in the Digital Age. The full report and the sumary is available here: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/2013/01/22/Library-services/ Here is a key discrepancy Fully 91% of Americans ages 16 and older say public libraries...
I searched high and wide at the Drupal Modules on a solution that would allow me to create new nodes either from an RSS feed (so I could automatically create new pages based on my Google Alerts that I set for my topic of interest) or from a spreadsheet (where I kept track of a list of items of interests in...
Couple of weeks ago I picked up the idea at a seminar to learn a new software shortcut every week. Most of us barely know the tools we are using, and if each week we just learn one time-saving shortcut then during the course of a year we could learn more than 50 time-saving tips. So this year I will...
I wish you all a happy new year with a funny and scathing video from the department of madeupstat http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fT-eXw7Xsjo (via TechCrunch)
LinchpinSEO created an infographic, see below, based on Buddy Media’s research on what generates more interaction on Facebook. I don’t think that putting this information into a large visual representation added any value to it, so I am sharing its numbers in plain text, sorted by descending order of effect. The numbers refer to the increase in interaction compared to...
During the code4lib conference in February 11-14 in Chicago there will be a drupal4lib conference too. Let me break down that sentence for you. code4lib isn’t entirely about code or libraries. It is a volunteer-driven collective of hackers, designers, architects, curators, catalogers, artists and instigators from around the world, who largely work for and with libraries, archives and museums on...
