Google Panda

Posted on March 5, 2011 by Ann Treacy • 2 Comments

Every six months or so Google changes some aspect of how they rank sites. Last summer it was called Google Caffeine – because the goal (or so we assume) was to pick up stories more quickly. In other words, they wanted to be able to rank news and events in real time. (Possibly to keep … Continue reading →

Esty & SEO for WordPress

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

I have a double Byte today. The first part is for everyone: Esty: http://www.etsy.com/ – it’s like e-bay for handmade stuff. Go there to buy unique handmade items or sell items if you make them. (I learned about it at the Blandin Conference http://tinyurl.com/37fo3lo last week – where I was also inspired to learn at … Continue reading →

Correct your place on the maps

Posted on October 11, 2010 by Ann Treacy • 2 Comments

Thanks to Carissa in Minneapolis for today’s Byte. After last week’s Byte on Get Listed (www.getlisted.org), Carissa was inspired to look into her map placement and sent on the tools she used. If you want to make sure that your address is showing up correctly on web site and GPS systems, check out the following: … Continue reading →

clickable image on WordPress image

Posted on September 6, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

Today’s Byte is very specific – so I suspect few folks will use it today – but I hope you’ll be able to store away the knowledge until you need it – or that it might inspire you to include a clickable image on an upcoming WordPress post. Here is a site I’ve been working … Continue reading →

Web-friendly fonts

Posted on July 10, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

I thought I’d written a Byte on web-friendly fonts before but when I needed it earlier today I couldn’t find it. So here is it. Sometimes folks ask me about using specific fonts on their web sites. It works so long as you choose a fairly standard font. The issue is that if you choose … Continue reading →

Google Page Rank Check

Posted on July 2, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

In the past I’ve talked about the importance of having other sites link to yours – if you want to rank highly with Google. Mostly I like the idea of doing that organically – by linking to content you think is good and hoping folks do the same. Now that doesn’t mean that you might … Continue reading →

Flickr vs Picasa

Posted on June 24, 2010 by Ann Treacy • 3 Comments

Earlier this week someone asked me which was better Flickr or Picasa, both are online photo sharing tools. I have used both – but I must admit that I found some articles from other experts rather than do extensive research myself. (After all I’m a librarian, not a tester!) I found a couple of articles … Continue reading →

Google Places

Posted on May 24, 2010 by Ann Treacy • 1 Comment

OK a couple of weeks ago I mentioned QR codes with a promise to say more later – well it’s later. It’s a little later than intended but I got mixed up with a great vacation in the West of Ireland and a week back home for work. (For a great refresher or demonstration of … Continue reading →

Free images

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

I ran across these sites today when I was thinking about pictures to use in a blog post. They are databases of free images; there are some restrictions of use – such as no “adult” usage, re-selling or using photos of people to endorse products – but for general use, even commercial use it’s OK … Continue reading →

Finding dead web sites

Posted on March 4, 2010 by Ann Treacy • Leave a comment

I think I’ve talked about this amazing tool before but it just came up for me again. The Wayback Machine (http://www.archive.org) keeps older versions of web sites. They don’t keep every web site, but they keep a lot. Also their funding seems precarious so some years they archive more than others. So say you want … Continue reading →
