I definitely just overwrote my resume page with the content for my gallery page. I realized this after frustration that the gallery page was not updating. After a brief moment of “Great, now I have to recode that page” groanings, I realized that WordPress stores your revisions. So I copied the revision code and saved my page.
Thank you, WordPress. You spared me fifteen minutes of my life I didn’t care to repeat.
So far, so good. I don’t really see much of a difference though.
One minor complaint: my list of plugins is no longer separated by activated/deactivated.
I generally use Browser Shots to test browser compatibility but sometimes IE6 needs more views than they want to give me within what I consider to be a reasonable time span. Recently I found IE Net Renderer that lets me see it in realtime more or less without daily limits.
<rant>Take that IE6 and all the crazy people who still use it. I understand that technically some said users have no choice, but honestly—can we move forward in time to, say, 2009? Oh wait, that is now. While you’re at it, please get an answering machine.</rant>
I’ve researched Google Sitelinks a lot … it seems that no one really knows what the magic formula is at this point. I have them on two of my sites, though, and both are maxed out at eight links.

Illinois ASA Sitelinks
Rumor has it that the age of your URL plays a role but one of the URL’s I have them on is only about a year and a half old and the other is about eight years old.
My best guess on the main factor effecting the display of sitelinks is how well the site is optimized for SEO and if it has penalties against it such as bad links or duplicate content, duplicate meta descriptions or duplicate meta titles. I use Google’s Webmaster Tools pretty frequently and have watched the number of sitelinks on the Aqua Gear Direct site fluctuate directly proportionately to those SEO factor fluctuating.
On a somewhat related note, the iGoogle gadgets for Google’s Webmaster Tools have been broken for a couple days now. It’s so much more inconvenient to visit the actual page and not just have it popup in my iGoogle homepage.
Dear Google,
Please fix your Webmaster Tools gadgets.
Sincerely,
Sherrie Rohde
In other, unrelated news, I am seven weeks minus one day away from leaving for Tucson. Yikes. I mean that in an excited and terrified way at the same time, just in case you wondered.
I was doing some Google research today on Adobe CS5 just to see if there was any new news regarding a release date. I’m not sure how I missed this before as it’s eight months old, but it greatly amused me:
