Weekly Link Round-Up #44

Posted on August 17, 2008 in Web | Add a Comment »

Another busy week with freelance, but hopefully I’ll be able to finish them up shortly so I can work more on my redesign/realign. My hope is to finish it before I go to An Event Apart Chicago in October. Just a few interesting things I found this week:

  • Developing a better CMS

    This is an interesting article describing the process of creating the CMS Firerift. Firerift looks interesting, but the website unfortunately doesn’t give enough details.

  • Use the Best Available Ampersand

    As Dan has discussed before, you should always use the best possible ampersand. He gives a nice collection of great looking ampersands.

  • Google Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide [PDF]

    Google has released a free 22-page Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide containing plenty of well-written, practical and straightforward advice for webmasters. If you've been looking into SEO for a while it probably won't contain anything new for you, but it's useful as a set of guidelines as to what Google considers to be good optimization practice. (psst, Google, with just a little design work it could have looked so much nicer!)
