Add a del.icio.us linkroll to your site

Posted by Fred Simmons under Uncategorized

Homepage getting stale? Add a del.icio.us linkroll to your site. A what? If you're not familiar with del.icio.us, read this. Otherwise, proceed…

A linkroll is just a bit of code that takes your del.icio.us account and creates a self-updating feed of links that you can insert anywhere on your site. It's a great way to add value to your site and keep your homepage or news page content fresh and revolving. Here's how to get started:

  1. Sign up for a del.icio.us account for your organization
  2. Start posting industry-specific links to your account - anything you come across that might be of interest to your visitors. You can even post links to your own content.
  3. Go to "settings" within your del.icio.us account and click on linkrolls (it's under the Blogging heading or fifth column).

The linkroll page gives you some display options such as how many links to display at a time, whether or not to display notes, etc. When you have the linkroll customized to your liking, you simply grab some automatically-generated javascript and insert it into your page.

I created an example here.

Getting Readers’ Attention

Posted by msrops under Uncategorized

I received an e-mail yesterday from Premiere Speakers Bureau. They were having a contest to see who could find the phony speaker in their catalog. To determine which was phony, you had to review the catalog, its index and the Bureau’s website (because the phony speaker would only be in the catalog). Those that locate the phony speaker are entered into a drawing for prizes. At first glance,I thought this was lame (I must admit…

How Hot are You?

Posted by Cynthia D'Amour under Uncategorized

   James was almost crying!
Tonight James had Nashville Hot Fried Chicken at Zingerman’s Roadhouse.
Normally, James can’t find anything spicy enough - well he did tonight!
I laughed as Mr. ”This Isn’t So Hot” almost wept due to the fire in his mouth!
(James brought home leftovers so he can light up tomorrow too.)
Zingerman’s promised hot chicken - and delivered […]

What Makes Google the Best Employer?

Posted by teestefan under Uncategorized
