Blog Project Three: My Picks

A week or so ago I participated in a blogging project through Daily Blog Tips called Blog Project Three. The results of the contest can be seen at the final list at DBT, where over one hundred entries were submitted. Not too shabby!

Part of the contest involved choosing your favorites from the final list. After looking through them, I chose the following as my picks, and no surprise they focus on web design and WordPress.

  • Make Your WordPress Blog More Search Engine Friendly
    A few nice tips for improving your SEO status using WordPress. Actually one idea I’ll be implementing here that I haven’t yet. Good one!
  • 3 + 3 + 3 Places Where You Can Get Free Icons for All Seasons and Reasons
    Definitely a list more than a post, but good info nonetheless. I haven’t looked through them all, but since I plan on bookmarking it for future use it must have some value to it, and others should see that as well.
  • 3 Reasons Why You Must Learn (the) Ruby Language
    Ruby is the content filling a few books on my reading list right now, so this one caught my eye. While the blog doesn’t seem very populated right now, it’s one I want to keep an eye on. I would say, to whoever wrote this and started the blog: keep it up, don’t stop now!
  • Top 3 Mistakes of Rookie Web Designers
    Some very true statements in this one. I can’t claim that I’ve made all those mistakes, but I’m very familiar with the line of thinking that would lead up to them. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

There were a huge number of entries, again, and a lot (especially) on blogging tips. Congrats to everyone seeing some nice traffic from the competition (Theme Playground included) and good luck to everyone as the votes are counted!
