Brads Blog

I run a pretty busy lifestyle, although my wife might call me lazy because of all the time I spend behind this computer. I consider being a webmaster a part time job. It does, after all, pay some of the bills.

When I went into the admin area of my Blog Directory, I about fell over. 257 links waiting for approval! JEEZ!

This is an enourmous task to go through, because I know that most of them are not worthy of the directory. They are either MFA sites (made for adsense) or Splogs. Since I’ve decided to get a bit more picky with the sites I accept, it’s even harder. (I don’t want blogs consisting of only feeds)

I am even considering outsourcing this task to one of the neighbor kids. Maybe I can pay him a few bucks to delete all the spam. I simply don’t have three hurs to go through all these links to check them out.

If you submit to this directory, I’ll give you a hint to get you approved quickly.

Featured and reciprocol links get approved fast. Then I go to the links that have good titles and descriptions, that make them look like real blogs and not splogs, or ad sites.

After I posted my first podcast the other day, I was thinking about my next one. (It was kinda’ fun!)

Like all webmasters should do, I think about accessability. I think about what the page will look like when displayed on other browsers, resolutions, etc. Then I thought about how many people out there are unable to listen to podcast on their computer and do not have an iPod.

I have no clue how to figure this one.

Sure, I have speakers and can listen to podcasts if I wanted, but what about you? Several years ago, the computer I owned could not produced any sound so this is probably why I’m concerned about it.

I am not planning on going podcast crazy on here, but I think that this is something webmasters should be aware of.
