Create Your Own Content

From Lao Ocean Girl, 4 month ago Similar articles

While out to dinner with friends the other night, I mentioned how I was going to write a Yelp review of the restaurant we were at.  My friend knew I was also going to upload the pictures I had taken that night and made a comment, saying that even though websites like Yelp are convenient, there’s something to be said about creating your own content and keeping it.  I’ve never thought about it that way, but he was right.  For the past few years, I’ve been spreading...

Website maintenance tools

Website maintenance tools

From Naked Translations, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

Trying to keep your online house in order is important, and I've recently discovered two great tools to help me do this. The first one is Copyscape, which looks for duplicate content and can alert you to plagiarism or theft, which can affect your Google ranking and is just not very nice. The second is Brokenlinkcheck, which does exactly what its name suggests. Again, bad links can affect your rankings, but they also provide a bad user experience for your visitors, so it's best to fix them....

Back to school

From Not wrong, just different, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

I don't know if you remember, but way back last August, I enrolled to do a Masters in Christian Ministry. I've just completed the first year. It's the big casualty of our move back to the UK. I would love to finish it, not only for the content per se, but also for the sense of achievement that would be. I have occasionally fantasised about graduating - gown, hat, certificate, that kind of thing -

 After a week of blog vacation it feels good to be back and I can tell you that I have a long list of things I want cook up and post here.

Not only did the pause do good but

She should know that ALL PhD Dissertations are basically "Irrelevant" and will be only read by a few people and that's how it works!

From Mama(e) in Translation, 1 weeks ago, Similar articles

I'm not a reader of the Chronicle of Higher Ed [after all, one has to pay the subscription to read most content], I only read when colleagues or blogger friends provide links in their blogs or on facebook (I'm not on twitter anymore), so I'm not really familiar with Naomi Schaefer Riley's columns and/or her qualifications. Two days ago, Laura linked to this piece by Riley's, provocatively titled "The Most Persuasive Case for Eliminating Black Studies' Just Read the Dissertations" and,...

mieux vaut tard que jamais + audio story in French!

From French Word-A-Day, 2 weeks ago, Similar articles

"Vignettes from the Var"? Such a book title might not win any awards, but it would clearly suggest the books content! All of the stories in this next collection are from 2006, when we lived in the Varois village of Les Arcs-sur-Argens (pictured). mieux vaut tard que jamais (myeuh-voh-tarh-keuh-zha-may)     : better late than never Note: though I do not have a sound file of today's expression... I do finally have the recording you asked for for Jean-Marc's story....
