One Photo a Day: January 11, 2007

01112007_large.jpgIt took less than a week to miss my first daily photo. In fact, I missed two days. Go figure.

Anyhow, I am back at it and have uploaded the photo for today. This is a photo of a good friend of mine, Dennis Markham. When Dennis is not busy talking on the telephone he can usually be found restoring Vintage Rotary Phones. Just before this photo was taken, Dennis was busy showing me some of the phones in his collection. It seems that just yesterday he had installed some beautiful floating shelves on the wall of his home office on which to display part of his telephone collection. How ironic that the telephone rang just at that time.

One Photo a Day: January 8, 2007

01082007_large.jpgI wanted to make certain that I did my daily photo early today. The national championship college football game is on tonight, and being a big college football fan, I wanted to clear my slate for this evening so I don’t miss a single play of the game.

With that being said, I looked out the door today to see one of the first smatterings of snow for the season. Sometimes we have three feet of snow by this time in January, but this year there has been almost none. The ground has not yet frozen and some of the spring flowers have already started to poke out of the ground, which I think is really going to be a problem for them shortly.

Don’t Use “Click Here” as Link Text

Choosing the proper words for your blog’s hyperlinks is an art form. When you give it some thought, you realize that there are many different ways to write the text for the link. One of the mistakes that many new bloggers make is to use link phrases like Click Here. The most highly regarded web standards organization, World Wide Web Consortium, makes the following recommendations to consider when developing your link text:

  • Provides some information when read out of context
  • Explains what the link offers
  • Doesn’t talk about mechanics
  • Is not a verb phrase

To read more about properly forming your link phrases, visit the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) website.
