If you have not finished designing a page, don't display a funny gif or "coming soon" message. Instead, add the following JavaScript code to the link so that the visitors will save time loading the page, which in fact is "under construction"!
(a href="#" onclick="javascript: alert('To be added soon...'); return false;")Articles(/a)

Enter the following into the address bar of your browser:
javascript:prompt("escaped url",escape("http://www.shantanuoak.com/"))
Replace the http:// part with your own site, to get the escaped URL ready to be used in the address bar.

I am a slashdot member for last few months. I had commented on one of the posts there. A few days back I tried to find that post but there was no easy way to go to the page or read the comment I had posted. I learned it today that just by adding your username after http://slashdot.org/~ will be taken to your personal home page!

1) When you write for a magazine, explicitly or not you adjust your style to match your readers' expectations. And, if you don't, your editor will do it for you. Writing a blog is different, and not just because the blogger gets to set the guidelines and expectations, although that's a big deal in itself.
2) A magazine is a filter not just of news and views, but of readers. Weblogs filter readers the way people filter friends.
3) Mass media write for mass audiences. Bloggers write for people who know them.

Did you know you can check backlinks to your blog by using Bloglines? You can use the following URL (replace "www.abc.com" with your own URL): http://www.bloglines.com/citations?url=www.abc.com

You can translate text from German (any language) to English using google toolbar for IE. Choose options on Google Toolbar and choose "Page Info menu". Now whenever you come across a page in a language other than English, choose the "i" icon on the google toolbar and select "Translate into English". Since firefox doesn't support google toolbar, you can access the google "language tools" page here...
