Yes, you could say I expected this. Of course, it has nothing to do with Bush feeding Powell a bunch of erroneous data about Iraq to tell the U.N., no, he wouldn't have been at all perturbed ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/10/21/colin-powell-endorses-obama/ On a certain forum, I've often commented that I will pay attention to Google's "webmaster guidelines" when they pay attention to MY spidering guidelines. But, in order for that to happen, I have to officially publish some. So, here they are, paraphrased from my forum posts: My Guidelines For Search Engines 1) ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/10/12/search-engine-spidering-guidelines/ It's fall, so I figured I'd better add a bit of life to this site. Summer was...er...a mixed bag. In contrast to the prior post, sales dropped way off in Sept, and while they have increased since then, I figure it won't be cruisin' properly until after the election. Election ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/10/12/a-bit-of-life/ Celebrating a new gross-income record at ScalesEtc. this month! I wouldn't have expected June to be the month to make the first recordbreak this year (as a fairly new site, ScalesEtc. is due for *many* recordbreakers as it grows). But it's done it. What's more to say, other than: w00t!! http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/06/29/recordbreaker/ I usually don't do reviews. But after buying a Ped Egg Pro, I realized I was actually equipped to write one. So here it is. My Ped Egg Review: AD CLAIMS: Safe to touch Beautiful feet after ONE use! No mess So, could it put up to the claiming? Here's what I found: Safe? Yes, with normal ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/06/06/ped-egg-review/ A week or so ago, I took this year's first ride on my riding mower. Luckily, it started right up. But something weird happened--it scalped the lawn! That shouldn't have happened, because I set the deck at 4 inches...which should have been more than enough clearance for the high spots. ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/05/30/physical-work-yuck/ Cool--WP had saved a copy of this post for me!! So, here it is after all! This week started with craziness and idiots and the trend kept going all week long. First, some junk happened that I won't mention further here. Then the other day, a merchant got the notion that it ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/05/10/deluged-in-crazies-and-idiots/ I had written a big post about it all... And then, to top it off, just as I was putting the finishing touches on it, IE crashed (thanks to the GOOFLE toolbar, according to the crash notice) before I could hit post! I even did "select all" to try to save ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/05/10/what-an-aggravating-week/ Lately I can't help but notice that more and more sites are being written in infinitessimally small type! Seriously--it's no bigger than font size 1, and I'm sure some are coding in px (pixels) so they can get it even more miniscule. What's with them? Are they so unsure of themselves ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/04/25/the-webmastereyeglass-maker-conspiracy/ I just came across this travesty of a word for the second time this year. Basically, it's a dumb way to refer to how products are supposed to be set up on shelves. PLAN - how they should be set up O - a dumb article added to make the transition between ... http://www.agedlikewine.com/2008/04/08/planograms/
