In the spirit of the holodays I decided to take a shot of coverting consumerism into something good. So from now until the end of the year, 50% of any revenue generated from any advertising on this site will be donated to charity. To start this out, here’s a link to the well known auction site.

I installed the Google (XML) Sitemaps Generator for WordPress. It works great for getting your sitemap on Google and some of the other search engines. The only issue I’ve had with it is other plug-ins can set some parts of your Wordpress site as noindex for the robots.txt file. This is not a problem is you don’t used those other plug-ins, or you disable that functionality in those plug-ins.

I have noticed that one of my sites, where you can buy GPS Devices from ebay does not have all of it’s pages showing when I check the site in Google.

Hyperplanet.com uses Wordpress. I have a category for each GPS model. In addition, I have a posting for each model. Google is only picking one of the two. I thought it was a problem with my sitemap, but I realized it is most likely due to duplicate content. Since catgegory and the posting are pretty much identical.

Check out this new micro wind generator from Peter Hass.

Business Opportunities and Ideas has created a top 100 list of business blogs. Some obvious ones include Seth Godin’s and Fastcompany’s.

Please excuse the mess. I am using this site as a lab for designing layouts for some other web sites of mine. The theme and layout may change unpredictably. The content however should not vary..too much.

 The wife and I visited West Baden Springs Resort last weekend for our 6th anniversary. Though the hotel is amazing, if you are into old buildings, the staff at the hotel were not of the quality I would expect for the price we paid. Though there were a couple of outstanding people, most seemed like they should be working at a Holiday Inn. Overall though the experience was great.

Welcome to my blog. This is my kickoff post. Though I am not exactly sure what the hell I am going to post on this blog, I will make sure to post stuff that is interesting.

Enjoy,
Dave
