Blog Safari 2-17-08

Less is more this week.  I’ve been busy recoding my blog with a new theme and organizing things so they don’t break in IE (which I found out they have been for some time).  Anyway, there were some great reads as always and I put the best I ran across here.  As always, each received a well deserved Stumble.  Enjoy.

Surveys, Polls, and Rating Options with WordPress ... As usual from Lorelle, a thorough listing and review of a Wordpress blog feature: “Polls and ratings.” Links to very cool plugins and an explanation of what each does. This is one bookmark you need to have.

The Chili Controversy In celebration of chili. 2 alarm chili to be exact! Great American pictures of chili, the pack, and the premium beer as the secret ingredient. If we weren’t getting pizza delivered I’d be running out to get the ingredients to make some!

Do You Find Technorati Useful Anymore? Tyler Ingram has a nice little post that poses this burning question.  I wonder sometimes why my rating there fluctuates so much when my stats stay static.  Go on over and comment on his question.

Contest to Win a Free Domain Name Nick Mercer has a business decision to make and he’s enlisting your help in a contest.  Come up with a good idea for his company’s domain name and you win one of your own through GoDaddy.com.

Long Walk, Big Thoughts: Black & White Collect... Amy Palko takes amazing pictures.  This is a breathtaking post, check it out and leave her some comments so she in encouraged to do this more!

Izea Losing Touch with the Blogosphere Katy blogs about her recent interactions with Ted Murphy.  She makes a good point but I am not sure that I agree with her or not … yet.  If the PayPerPost slash Google fiasco has touched you, this would be a post worth reading and commenting on.

Hey man, I love the blog theme. Very neat and very usable.  I also like the picture for this blog entry. Makes me want to go on Safari.  Keep up the good work - love pointers to WordPress plug-ins.

Thanks Michael.  I enjoyed your dog jumping post yesterday.  That sounded like a cool event.  Thanks for stopping by to read my postcards ;)  Looking forward to more dialog.

I’m beginning to think I should be doing something with my photos, Damien.   Thanks for the encouragement!
