NY and LA Times articles miss the big picture: Following up on Rayne's previous post and filchyboy's addendum, my sense is that while Billmon is clearly thoughtful and a great writer, he makes the same mistake Klam made in the Times magazine cover story, which is to view the A-list, top-of-the-power-law bloggers for the whole shmear. Of course some will... (People Power)

XHTML 2.0 to drop backward compatability: Catching up with Zeldman sent me off in six different directions, of course, but I especially enjoyed reading Web architecture | XML zone : The Web's future: XHTML 2.0 at IBM's developerWorks site. The proposed changes to HTML (I mean XHTML) sounds like steps in the right direction (ditching presentational tags,... (Best Practices)
Standing Room Only: Well, after that self-indulgent post about Salon rankings I thought I owed it to myself to dig a little deeper and go look at some more Salon blogs, starting at the recently updated page. I stumbled across a fairly new blog, Standing Room Only, by Hugh Elliott. His topics are Media,... (Salon Bloggers)
Salon rankings: Well, the race is on. Will I catch up to the (on vacation) Plan B blognovel to become the number two all-time Salon blog after Scott? Or will the Cowgirl lap me before I make it? For all I know I may have plateaued (that can't be the right spelling) already.... ()
Nice review of 'Dreamweaver Savvy' at Web Teach: Keep them reviews coming! You work long and hard on a project like my last book (and there was a big team of people working on it with me) and then it goes out the door and it all starts to seem a bit like a dream. Oddly, reviews like this... (Book News)
Something completely different: Inscrotable! The always-hinky MichaelZ sends along this link to the Scrotum Gift Shop down under.... (Miscellany)
Best new Google search in my referrer log: So now people looking for christian nude are finding their way to RFB. Don't worry. Best item on the first page of results: Should a Christian do a nude scene? I also get a lot of e-mail queries from people wanting to publish religious-themed books because they've searched online for a... (Miscellany)
Make your URLs human-guessable: Web addresses were never supposed to be human-readable. The fundamental hyperlinking concept of the Web is intended to mask the underlying Internet protocols and commands required to retrieve data. But the reality is that we see, store, type, copy, and paste URLs all the time (or else the "dotcom" meme would... (Best Practices)
The dirty little secret of content management: Dylan Tweney's latest Business 2.0 column advises businesses to steer carefully between the six-figure CMS overkill solutions that thrived during the dotcom boom and the other end of the spectrum, reinventing the CMS wheel yourself in-house. I've been doing content management-related consulting for the last five years and there's a big... (Best Practices)
Blog watching 'cyberjournalists' and 'j-bloggers': Catching up with Spartaneity this morning leads me to the Weblog Blog at CyberJournalist.net. The site is for and about journalist bloggers (referred to there as J-bloggers). Hey, if enough of these blogging about blogging sites appear, I think I can put my feet up and just let everyone else do... (Weblog Concepts)
