Blog E-metrics Guide V1.01 Released
Douglas KarrSeanRox and I are going to keep our Blog E-metrics guide as a ‘working document’. Much like a software release, we’re going to continue to enhance the publication. Today I added a diagram, table of contents, a glossary, and resource section. Hopefully, I’ll be able to write a little bit each week. Special thanks to Pat Coyle and Erin Howe for some in-depth reviews of the guide. I got some high marks for it… but I honestly think it’s unfinished as of yet. I’ll keep working on it though and look forward to everyone’s feedback!
You can download the latest version on the project page: Blog E-metrics Guide V 1.01
Perhaps in a couple months I’ll have enough to publish. I would love all of your input on the guide, please feel free to post comments on SeanRox’s site or mine. It only took 3 days to go from Release 1.00 to 1.01… I hope you like the improvements!
Also… you might notice some changes to the I Choose Indy logo. Special thanks to Carla and Dave for pushing back on my first logo. Though simple, there was a very good chance that the logo may have raised some attention by companies with similar ’star people’ logos. So this one is a little more elaborate. Using Illustrator, I made it more like a gel button and then placed it on the actual map center. I think the blue really helps a lot to offset the white of the website as well.
Also I noticed the Addition Spam Protection (the 1+9 thing), is always 1+9= 10, is that on purpose?
Yes, the challenge question never changes. Believe it or not, I have not had ANY comment spam since implementing this!
My next step was to actually add characters in between the formula that were white… so a crawler could see them but not the user.
