Wordpress updates are often needed for security fixes and the most recent additions (v2.5) to usability are pretty nice. The negative end of things is correcting plugin bugs, confirming database integrity, and revising my custom-developed theme. Luckily I don’t have a heavy load of intricate sites that all need updating, but even the few that [...]

Since the beginning of January, Alexa Redirect links have been deprecated and no longer function. They work as a prevention to get to your site.
It used to be possible to inject your link with a forced redirect from alexa: http://redirect.alexa.com/redirect?http://liquidparallax.com would tell Alexa someone is going to my homepage. It was debated whether this [...]

The year is about through and I’d like to scan through the past of liquidparallax.com.

I notice that traffic-hungry bloggers and web-savvy advertisers tend to follow SEO marketing schemes of creating filler content and fluffing up word count. They claim that it will keep visitors satisfied and search engines will flock to their precious keywords which will increase click-through rates.
