Link Dump

I'm well behind on my blog reading and have about 2000 unread entries in Feeddemon that I'll get to at some point. Meanwhile, I have a pile of links in there that I've flagged in the past that I've been meaning to read, just haven't had a chance to or they didn't always merit an entire blog entry. So I don't forget about them or lose them, they're getting blogged here (and just watch the Trackbacks fly). So here you go (in no particular order)...

A Good Discussion on Community/Wiki News
Dane's got a bunch of good ones: Distressed PhotoshopTutorial, and a a few good search engine optimization articles.
Codenovice points to a bunch of great sites for blog templates as well as has the MT subcategory tags on file, and a bunch of other useful MT links.
Contentious has a great deal of wonderful grab bags of links on e-learning, Media and Journalism, Net and Society, Wikis, Blogging, Webfeeds, Podcasting, Tools, and Writing and Editing. I only wish I had the time to dive through all those links.
Based on an MT entry's primary category, it can have a unique template.
Mezzoblue always has a pile of great links especially in his dailies. Like Open Source is Like Sex, CSS Compatiblity Chart, and marking up data tables in CSS.
In the future if I ever get around to create a site to aggregate all the Central Oregon Blogs I read, I might go this route
If you want a good deal of RSS reading material, Nick has a pile of them, as well as a link on RSS Bandwidth saving techniques.
An Interesting read on how WiFi is affecting Web site content.
Scriptygoddess always has good stuff. Like this CMS comparison chart, using your MT Template in Wordpress, another handy color tool, a gallery of FavIcons for inspiration, and a very cool Colorzilla extension for FireFox.
A handy Google Cheat Sheet from the SEW Blog.
I respect the Cub Scouts less and less every day thanks to SEB.
Movalog Side Log comes up with the MT-DSBL plugin which is an open proxy comment filter for MT that should help combat spam even more. The main part of Movalog has some great links on customizing error messages in MT 3.12x, linking to a couple of very handy Mozilla sidepanels: EditCSS and Web Developer. He also has info on setting up scheduled posting, and skinning the administrative interface with dutchpink (a great admin interface that I might try here).
Lastly, the 6A ProNet has a couple good article on creating a blogging business strategy.

OK, there's a few less entries flagged in my RSS Reader. Now to actually read some of the unread ones...

Oddest thing happened to me yesterday. May 3, I did a puff piece on the American Idol web site that encouraged people to vote for the worst singer.

Yesterday, the night of the final sing-off, my average hit rate jumped 200-300% as Idol fanatics bombarded my blog looking for info on this page which Fox had shut down and was now gone.

If you are curious - go here Idol Buzz to see the action.

If you click on home and scroll down you can also see links to other humor including the new Pope ha ha photo that is circulating - not the beer one, though I have that too, "The International School of Blog Repair Laugh", and "The Robin Williams/Leslie Stahl on Bill Mahr about Gannongate clip".

Webmaster - if you want to add my blog - feel free to. I am always glad to do link recip. Just tell me you did.
