Hey guys! I wanted to give everyone a headś up that Iḿ in Cozumel Mexico (and typing on a MX keyboard, as you can see.) Weŕe here for my girlfriendś birthday & will return next Tuesday, at which point the blog will become much more active.

Iḿ still moderating comments, but will be slow to respond until next week.

Taking a cue from Ryan Ward, I’ve decided to make my blog “do-follow” and have added the Lucia’s Linky Love plug-in to my Wordpress Blog. This is one of a number of great plug-ins that Ryan recommended - I’ll post the others a little later. The do-follow plug-in effectively removes the no-follow attribute from all comments on your blog. This is important for a couple of reasons:

1) The no-follow attribute is designed to strip the link juice from sites you don’t trust - I do trust my network of online friends, & I don’t think that we should automatically distrust newcomers.

2) Link Juice is important to our rankings! Most of us participate in online communities for 2 reasons - it’s fun, and it’s good for business. Without do-follow, our business doesn’t benefit.

So…welcome to my “No-Follow Free” blog & please enjoy the discussion. A few rules (most of which are borrowed from Ryan Ward.)

1) Please don’t abuse the do-follow w/ spammy comments & anchor text links to your website - please use your name, or your “handle”

2) I’m giving link juice here, so please don’t be shy to link back to my site or blog.

3) Try & add something to the conversation - please don’t post a bunch of “me too” comments just to get a backlink.

4) Email notification of followup’s are great, and really add to the discussion. Leave the box checked! If you care enough to comment, you should care enough when others do.

5) I will not allow any links to pornographic, gambling, or excessively spammy sites.

Thanks guys!

Downtown Austin is growing about as quickly as it can. If you’re familiar with Austin, you’re familiar with the Frost Bank Tower - currently the tallest building downtown at 33 stories. One of my friends emailed me this link - it’s a really killer flash animation that shows you what’s coming in the next few years. Check it out & let me know what you think!
