We’re very happy that our friends Marcello Forte and Jenn Bristol of Animal Haven have been selected as expert bloggers for the NY Times City Room Blog.

After finding someone with a wordpress.com ripping off the content of this blog, I alerted WordPress and it wasn’t just that they took down the offending content - the whole blog went dead.

Blogger is at it again with the most basic of problems. This time if you have spaces in your labels it will result in bad links on your site. How they get these things wrong, is beyond me…

Old domains that have clean histories can be incredibly powerful - even if they’ve been somewhat stagnant over the years. We’re fortunate that slicksurface.com was registered in 1999 - it gives us a bit of help ranking in search engines.
