BloggertoBlogger is a new community that’s coming up for bloggers. There is a forum where bloggers can share ideas and talk about blogging in general and specific blogging topics too. The forum is still young but if definitely active and interesting, and the posts are filled with useful material.  There is also a blog, and you can get your blog reviewed by using credits that you earn by posting on the forum.

I found BloggertoBlogger when looking for a way to transfer a Wordpress blog from one server to another, and there was a useful tutorial on how to accomplish this.

While not necessarily focused on coding and programming topics, I think that BloggertoBlogger has great potential to become a very useful resource for programmers who mostly work on blogging platforms to share ideas and to exchange information on the latest plugins, enhancements, and on customizing different aspects of the blogging software.

So visit BloggertoBlogger today and share what you know.

2007 is finally winding down, with everyone getting ready to welcome the new year.  It’s  been a full and busy year for me, and as always, life has taken away from the time to code and build projects.  But I did uncover a lot of interesting resources and stuff that have given me ideas for projects for the new year.   All I have to do now is make time and get the ball rolling.  One of my goals for 2008 is to do more of the things I enjoy for the heck of it, so here’s to more coding, more discovery, more ideas, and more more more fun.

Happy New Year and Happy Coding!!

I love Akismet because it has saved me a lot of time and ibuprofen (that I would be taking for the headaches I would get trying to ward off spammers. Here’s why:

Now this blog hasn’t been around for that long, considering that I made my first post on June 13 of this year, and I haven’t been posting as regularly as I would like, so to have been hit with that amount of spam in such a short time is something to think about!

Let’s think about this for a few minutes: This blog has been online for about 6 months now, that’s approximately 180 days, give or take. If you do the math, you find that this comes to about 8 spam messages a day!! Wow!!

Since I have comment moderation turned on, without Akismet I would be getting on average 8 emails a day to moderate comments on this blog alone!

Do you see now why I love Akismet?

If you have a Wordpress blog, make sure that you enable Akismet, it will save you lots and lots of time!

So this post has nothing to do with programming, or coding, PHP, mySQL, databases, or any of that other sweet stuff that I’ve been talking about. BUT, it is relevant, because it addresses an issue that you as a potential future or current webmaster will face, or already faces… the mad dash for page rank.

While wandering around the web today visiting different posts and blogs I ran across a post about saying no to page rank. The author, Dean Hunt, writes:

As a first hand witness to this, being as I frequent many webmaster forums, I could totally relate to what he was saying. The basic idea behind the campaign is explained well in his response to comments over at phpied.com, where he writes:

So whilst many webmasters will panic, worry, discuss, predict… we will get on with creating quality content and sharing links to improve our PR rank.

I happen to agree, so I have jumped in, and will be updating this list as it grows. If you are interested in the details of this campaign, read more here.
