Fabulous Featurific

I’ve just installed an innovative new WordPress plugin – Featurific.  You should be able to see it above the right hand columns.

The way Featurific works is wonderful, and it is highly configurable, and free, free, free!  The guy who put this tasty technology together is one Rich Christiansen. Read more

Rajab, the SEO Gladiator

Rajab, one of my readers, and an SEO Gladiator from north Africa, is coming to Italy to study Italian this summer.

I’ve been exchanging the odd email with Rajab, and I complimented him on his English, but he disagrees. Indeed, this is how he disagreed:

My written English is good? Heck no, I think it sucks! But thanks anyway, I’m gung-ho about languages

Now, I don’t know about you, but I think that for someone who says he does not know English, the above response was absolutely excellent.

It’s grammatically accurate, colloquial, and, there is even a nice little idiom thrown in for good measure.

Maybe I should point out that he is studying French, Arabic, and English at university. He must be making good progress.

I would be interested to hear what his spoken English is like, but, in today’s email oriented world, being able to write well in a language or two is a very useful skill to have.

Rajab appears to have a bright future ahead of him. Hope he’s on Linked-In.

RSS Feed to Blog from Italy Updated

Thanks to reader Rajab Bader, those who follow my blog via the RSS feed may be pleased to note that the feed is now supplying complete versions of my posts.  Before, according to Rajab, my posts were being chopped.

I think I have now solved this little issue, and I hope the RSS feed is now behaving as expected.

As an aside, I notied that on Rajab’s Seo Gladiator blog, there is a downloadable Bloggers Guide to SEO in Arabic. Now, although my knowledge of Arabic is extremely limited, I’m sure those who speak the language would find a guide to SEO in their language potentially very useful. And quite a few Arabic speakers live in Italy, but I don’t know if any read this blog, but what the heck. If they do they’ll find this link.

Nice one Rajab!
