These are my links for June 2nd through June 3rd:
- How to: hide portions of text to Google on your WordPress blog – Hiding a portion of text to Google is damn easy, but not everyone is aware of this method. Simply use the following html comments in your source files (or in WordPress editor, in html mode) to hide a specific sentence or text to Google robots.
- WordPress › Lock Out « WordPress Plugins – This plugin will allow you to put your website into Lock Out mode to prevent access while you preform upgrades or maintenance on your site. Includes the ability to upload a pre-made html file for use as a placeholder page while in lock out mode or build your own online. The login page is still accessible and will allow only the user role you set to view the site normally while in lock out mode.
- 13 Beautifully Designed Mac and iPhone App Websites | Web Design Ledger – The Apple brand is synonymous with good design. It also seems that a lot of applications made for Macs and the iPhone seem to possess a little something extra when it comes to aesthetics. The designers of these apps do a great job in carrying over that same high level of quality in branding. This is evident in the applications themselves as well as their websites. Most of these sites all share certain qualities such as excellent use of color, big highly detailed icons, and pixel perfect buttons.
- Google AJAX Feed API – Dynamic Feed Control Wizard – Embed a Dynamic Feed Control on your web page and let your users see customized views of the feeds. Customize how the dynamic feed control should be displayed, and this wizard will write the code for you.
- Turn iPhone Photos into Postcards – No Stamps Required! – Are you an iPhone-equipped world traveler? If so, then you're going to love Postino, the latest app from AnguriaLab. This mobile application lets you take iPhone photos and turn them into postcards which you can send to your family and friends. And no, they don't mean "e-cards" (although Postino supports those, too) – they mean actual, printed out, physical cards send through the good ol' fashioned snail mail service.
- Micro Persuasion: What is the Future of Twitter? Only You Know – Yesterday during my keynote on the future of Twitter at the TWTRCON conference in San Francisco I decided to do something different. For one day, at least, I put away PowerPoint and fired up a mind mapping program (in my case I use Mind Node for the Mac).
- Blogsalot – Now, look. I want to talk about John Mayer. Not because I'm recently obsessed with him. Not because his song Waiting For The World To Change is one of the best things I've heard in ages (despite being released three years ago) or because he's way better looking than I am (bastard). No. I want to talk about John Mayer's approach to releasing an album in a marketing context.
