Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
Online magazine A List Apart has just published an article “Zebra Striping: Does it Really Help?“. As I can’t be arsed to re-write my thoughts in a logical and structured manner, I’ll just copy and paste what I put into the q*bee IRC channel: [19:45] <Jem> I’ve just read an article on ALA about ‘zebra… read full entry »
I’ve just got online — it’s 7:30pm — after having spent most of the afternoon in garden centre type places looking for plants for my front garden. It’s north-facing so shadowy and damp most of the time, which presented a bit of a problem (I’ve brought back some Fuschia). Anyway, upon opening my inbox I… read full entry »
I have been a supporter of the “dofollow” movement since before it became a movement. I’ve talked about its disadvantages before, but none were so apparent as the one that came to light this week. Digital Point forums is filled with spammers and sploggers trying to make a quick buck. While this is normally harmless… read full entry »

Although this has been turned off and I’ve emptied the cache, some… read full entry »
Backstory.. I’m being insulted, and called a boy (again) because I dared criticise xoxmariah.com’s shitty excuse for a website. A few people add their tuppence worth, some of which I’m saving for another day, and then… Person A: “I know! Jem thinks she’s a smart ass know it all. She is a meany! I know… read full entry »
If you have a DeviantART account, it would be great if you could ‘fave’ this article. Art theft is lame :(
Alexa have updated their ranking system.. time to do another ‘Manipulating Alexa’ post?
I don’t know if all of you caught my latest aside, whining about the state of my inbox. It’s frequently above the 100-150 mark these days and I can’t seem to get it down. Every e-mail is read, just waiting for a response. Some are even that old they’re labelled as 2007. About a month… read full entry »
