Here are some good articles from the past couple of weeks:
- Whiteboard Friday - SEO for Branding from SEOmoz. Video content which discusses how SEO can have a valuable impact on branding efforts.
- Tools for Engaging in Social Media from Search Engine Land. I'm engaged in a lot of discovery about social media right now and this article is on point. I'm not sure how many of these tools I will actually end up using, if any, but it is always good to have the information. Check it out and see what you think.
- The Web Developer's SEO Cheat Sheet from SEOmoz. This little gem was instantly circulated around our office the moment is was posted. Definitely something to have on hand.
- Church Technology Usage and Growth from Church Relevance. Good information here for churches. Shaffer abstracts some of the findings from Barna's 2007 Protestant church technology report.
- Free Twitter Graphics from Randa Clay Design. We launched into twitter last week and so it got me interested in a bunch of Twitter related posts. If you are looking to add twitter to your process, this post has some pretty nice free graphics you can use. Of course, we used our own Jason to create our bird graphics.
- Do Online Press Releases Serve a Useful Purpose? from Smiley Cat. I found this interesting. I have to say I agree with the author here who is disagreeing with another article referenced in the post. I think displaying and archiving press releases online is a great practice.
- Starting with CSS and bug fixing tips from Veerle's blog. This is a great resource providing tons of links to other resources where you can get a start with CSS, as well as some with with fixing bugs in IE 6 or 7.
- Sleep deprivation is not a badge of honor from Signal vs. Noise. Ok, this is just a personal favorite. I've often thought about this subject but never written on it. This post really sums up my feelings on the matter. I've also heard some stories on NPR that add research to the idea that almost everyone needs at least 7 hours of sleep.
