A Simple Wine Pairing Chart

Leave it up to my bro to come up with this simple wine pairing chart for varietals and cheese. Its the beginners guide to creating the perfect ensemble at any dinner or cocktail party.

I'd recommend the Reisling and Gouda or the Cab and strong cheddar. Delish.

I'm Never Linking to Tag Pages Again

I just went from 20-30 SEO visits/day to 0-10 visits/day. I think its because I links on some older posts going to tag pages that no longer exist.

I continue to refine the browsability of yocheckthisjam, I will probably be adding/removing a number of tags. Linking to these tag pages could then create links to non-existent pages. Also, as I am showing a tag cloud in my right column, all tag pages are linked to from all content pages anyways.

I wonder if adding additional links via RSS in the middle column affected my SEO traffic as well. I'm thinking that it didn't help.

I Wish I Had a Dog

Then, I could dress him up like this:



Here are some more places to find dog hotdog halloween costumes. Relish not included..

Funny Barack Obama Widget

I've been having way too much fun with the Sprout widget builder tools lately. Here's a widget I made for Barack Obama, that can show your support for the candidate without coming across as too serious.



It also clicks through to the Barack Obama swicki, which should help it get some traffic.

Show Your Love for Cut Copy

In anticipation of the Cut Copy and Presets show tomorrow, I made a Cut Copy badge that anyone can add to their social network profiles or iGoogle.



I built it with SproutBuilder, which uses the Gigya distribution technology. Looks like you don't need much coding skills to make a widget after all.

I've also set it to link to a post I made a while ago that has the Cut Copy video for Saturdays, so maybe I'll get some traffic from this thing too.
