I know I haven’t blogged much but that will soon change. When I first started this blog I wanted to post about things that I had questions about.

Now I just want to share things that I am passionate about… books, gadgets, health, and more. I don’t have it all figured out yet but it’s only a matter of time!

I read a post on ProBlogger.net a while back that debated whether or not to have hyperlinks open in new windows. Up until that point I always set my links to open in new windows. A point was made in the article that we should let the visitor decide how they want to handle the hyperlink and set the link to open in the same window by default. If the visitor wanted to open the link in a new window, they could. At the time, this sounded rational but now I realize it isn’t.

Your goal should be to keep visitors on your site for as long as possible. In order to do this, you can’t take a chance that the visitor may not know how to handle the hyperlinks. All you have to do is set the link to open in a new window. Open links in new windows. Set the target to blank. Set the target=”_blank”. Do it.

I have been meaning to post about the HBO Voyeur movie for a while now but obviously haven’t gotten around to it until now. I first came across it after reading one of Adobe Edge’s newsletters. In the newsletter they listed some of the most innovative and exciting sites they have have seen. All the sites happen to be created with Flash and this one stood out the most to me. I just love the fact that no matter what section of the building you are watching, the story doesn’t stop. It is fun to be nosy and see what is going on behind other people’s walls. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.

My site is worth $196.
How much is yours worth?

So, I strongly doubt the accuracy of this tool but I found it to be fun regardless.

This free tool will analyze your site, and let you know how well it’s being monetized, and what value you could sell it for.

Really???
