Website and photo outsourcing solutions

I was checking my links -- in and out of my site via "Site Stats" in my MyBlogLog account -- and lo-and-behold what wonder do my eyes see but a link coming in from a web search for "Permanent File Hosting... Hmm." I say. "I wonder where I ranked. (Haha usually. I sometimes wonder how they clicked in at all.)" WOW!

I figure it's probably true. I'm pretty sure I'll always have servers kicking around.... so if you need Permanent File Hosting - Call Me! ;-) Another wicked cool and surprising first page link - (I was #7) - can be found on this search : Photo Tagging in google's beta blog search. neat.

IIIII love Widget Love, a customized javascript from a member of MyBlogLog which I have now put in the goodies section of my website. I had it listed as my homepage because everytime you visit it remembers you came (as long as you are a member of MyBlogLog) and your picture will be listed closest to the top! However, there are too many clicks to get back to my real home page so I decided to place it on my own hompage and visit often. I plan to manipulate his code and use it later, when I have time for some fun. Enjoy these toys... ;-)

My favorite widget (Okay, hold on -- realize there are only two listed on the site right now so my choices are a bit slim so haha!) is the 'Recent Readers'. At first I thought it did not fit into the context of my blog; the more I visited MyBlogLog, the more I visited other members with the widget blogroll on thier own site, the more I wanted to see this on my site too! It's a fun reference link to readers and also a great way to keep your new connections fresh. I want more widgets!

I am always learning online (most of my html experience etc) - I suppose this is my new venue. Google has always been my poison of choice but then again - I was (and still am) always looking for something specific. I just started using the search function which is quite useful to search for your interests. I'd like to see the profile page expanded out a bit to make the search more useful. I did a search for photography and came up with 110 Communities - which I was not incuded - hmmm. I changed my Short description to read the word photography and BOOM! There I am - now on the searched list.. Make that 111 :)

There should be an option to expand the page to show the communities at 50,100,all etc and a mouseover to give a little more information about where you may click. This little script is found on many popular websites.. I'll have a list of my favorites on Tuesday.

I'm sure I can come up with more, I'll have to make a Wishlist 2...

While attending to one of my favorite pastimes... Web-Surfing, I came accross a website offering free web stats called Clicky Web Statistics.

The site is in beta so they are offering free services until launch. I signed up for an account and will have further review of my results and interactions with them - but I have to say the sign-up was quite painless and a little javascript insert to begin taking stats is just like Technorati and MyBlogLog and probably a boatload of similar websites will ask you to do.

I am looking forward to the results, it is always fun to see the who/what/when/where and how... Now if there only a tool for why...?

I cannot rave enough about the community of MyBlogLog.

The connections made, the goodwill passed from one member to the next, the diversity of the membership... MyBlogLog is wonderful trip throughout the globe; not to mention a fantastic way to connect big with terms you decide, not what a search algorithm has decided for you.
