• Hey, guess what! Limewire’s pulling a Napster!
• Blogsolid.com has just spoofed Darren Rowse’s “31 Days to a Better Blog” series with “31 Minutes to Building a Better Blog.” It describes a lot of bloggers well.
• If you’re having trouble explaining RSS to your readers, you could link to yet another Blogsolid post, or you could send them over to this cool video.
• Sprint has plans to roll-out WiMax service in “select cities” by the end of this year. They’ve dubbed the service “XOHM.” How the heck do you pronounce it? And why can’t they just call it WiMax?
• ReadWriteWeb says “JavaScript is Slowing Down the Web.” Speed issues or not, cut down on the widget mania anyway.
• Which JavaScript framework is the one for you? I like Prototype/Script.aculo.us personally. ZenPerfect.com reviews Prototype/Script.aculo.us, jQuery, Yahoo UI Library, MooTools, and points you in the direction of some others.
• Mashable: 30+ Firefox Tools for Bookmarking & Search
• WordPress Bloggers: Full Posts or Partial Posts? It’s up to you. If you choose the latter, which method are you going to use?
• ProBlogger Darren Rowse wants you to play around with another Statistics toy. Seriously, it can be useful to Create a Heatmap of Where Readers Click on Your Blog.
• Movable Type 4.0 is out, and they may have one-upped Wordpress. Get your two cents (75 cents in some cases…) in and tell the Wordpress devs what you want to see added to Wordpress. While you’re at it, vote for one of my suggestions…
• Arg! Mashable beat me to it! MovableType 4 vs. Wordpress 2.2.
• You’ve written hundreds of great posts, now how do you get people to read the older ones? Create a “Sneeze Page”!
• Did anyone (besides The ProBlogger) know that you can buy StumbleUpon traffic? Sure enough, S.U. allows you to run “Sponsored Stumbles” for $0.05 per impression.
• American Airlines is suing Google over AdWords. Really, another lawsuit over that? There’s nothing wrong with allowing competing companies to run ads for search results like “American Airlines” or “Geico”.
• What the #@$@%!? People are trying to block Firefox! Because of Ad-blocking plugins! People have a right to block ads if they want….and I run ads on my websites. Bloggers, voice your opinions to WhyFirefoxIsBlocked.com. I don’t use AdBlocking software generally, but I believe people have a right to if they wish. We should be blocking Internet Explorer, not Firefox. Also, here’s a big flaw in their argument: There are ad-blocking add-ons for Internet Explorer. Anyway, if you ever run into a site that actually is blocking the ‘fox, just install a user-agent switching extension.
• WORDPRESS GOD: 300+ Tools for Running Your Wordpress Blog. Mashable’s at it again…
• …and again. 50+ Digg Tools and Resources.
• Performancing.com has released their Wordpress theme for this month. This one is called “News Theme.”
• Wordpress Plugin Releases For 8/18
