I’m sure so many people have been talking about this, and I will pitch my 2 cents in to this concept which is one of the greatest pinnacles of Web 2.0 – “Segregation of Data and Presentation”
You guys are all going “What…???” if you don’t know much about web design. And even if you do, if have been focusing only on the small stuff like how to make that PNG show on IE or how to apply transparency on objects, you won’t get this right away – here’s an opportunity …

While a lot of the PayPerPost items force you to be postive about a product in order to qualify for the payout, Review Me does not ask for that. You can be completely honest with any kind of reviews for anybody, and I found one that made me laugh at the end.
Who did this? None other than a fellow blogger, and also my client (one of the bigger accounts!), John Chow!
He was asked to serve up a review for this scam of a pyramid scheme, and he cleanly exposes the …

I lost my bet to Geiger in regards to the Buffalo Sabres and the Vancouver Canucks. While the Canucks got eliminated by the Ducks last round, the Sabres moved up to face the Ottawa Senators. And hence, I owe Geiger a blog review, which I hope would help him, coming from a PR5 site with a couple hundred readers a day.
So. Geiger, unfortunately, does not have an “About” page that gives me an overview of him, but his posts say quite a bit. His blog has quite an history – …

It’s so common these days to see pop-ups in websites. When you click on the privacy statement, you see a pop-up. When you click to view the disclaimer (if you ever do) you see a pop up. Or, the page switches over entirely.
I can never shut up about how much of a big fan I am in making website processes simpler. Of course, there are factors such as my time (which is usually subject to my clients’ budgets), as well as difficulty and how easy it is to maintain, but …

I was tagged by Hannes Johnson to pick 5 blogs of my choice that I read the most. This was origianlly started by The Paper Bull.

Career Ramblings – This is one of my favorite blogs. It is run by Jane May and John Anthony, and they discuss various aspects of your professional life, finances, personal development, etc. It’s a good read, good learning. John Anthony focuses more on the business person’s perspective, while Jane May has it all figured out on how to survive and excel in a corporate …

So today I noticed something very interesting, and here’s the screencap of it.

That’s right, the Google.com site had “iGoogle” instead of “Google” on it. Also, I realized the URL always forwards from google.com or google.ca to google.com/ig and google.ca/ig!!!
Is this one of their their playful gestures to fool around with the header image like they do with holidays and special events etc.?
Or is this some kind of a hint towards a more “friendly and cooperative” relationship between Apple and Google? Or has i+anything become a common word with no copyright …

Gary, who operates the blog mrgarylee.com lives in California and I met him through the blogging scope of things. He used to be a comment whore just like myself on Johnchow.com, and we sort of hang out within the same ring of blogs so to speak. It’s one of the better blogs that I do visit on a regular basis (at least twice a week, which is quite a bit for my schedule! That says a lot), and his experience as a projecct manager for web marketing projects of various …
