Ha! This looked a bit spammy in my feed reader but I tried the half price Amazon thing and it was listing the first two series of the Wire on the home page for £30 instead of £100! Thanks Ryan.

Golden Axe II!!!! Geez, I loved that game so much. The megadrive looks pretty slick; I’ll probably have to pick one up and play me some Golden Axe.

Clicking this enables the use of Google Gears in your Wordpress installation, allowing offline posting

As said by Tamly, this is designed to speed up access to the admin interface, by caching up to 200 elements locally for speed. See this post on the wordpress blog for details:

Really? I thought the Turbo button just cached the static files locally for improved responsiveness on slow connections. I don’t think offline posting is supported yet.

Comment on Site Optimisation Using Entrecard by Sandykun

Well, EC is truly gives a lot traffic to my blogsite. But they just do it to drop a card, and it doesn’t work for the “unfamiliar” visitor for your niche to drop comments like crazy.

All we can do is just joining a forum in our niche and do a little spamming in the signature area.. and get a little active there. Or you can just commenting the other’s blog in your niche often, so that, they’d come to your site and maybe would like to be a good reader for you.

Giving a present like yours way like this also can encoirage reader to more digging your blog deeper…

I’ve been using EC for a while now.. and while I do get many hits to my blog, I only get probably a 1 loyal reader out of the 10 ECs that come by. But hopefully, my EC avatar is enough to make people remember my blog!

I’m surprised it’s taken this long for a Wii keyboard to be released. Mind you, it’s a good idea, and as you say it could bring in a new wave of Wii bloggers.

Wow, what an idiot… Goonies is set in Astoria Oregon. Not in Illinois…. read the filming locations before you write another article.

Thanks for the pointer Anthony - I’ve corrected it now. I blame my reference material…
