I have to thank my friend Chris for that one (not that Chris, the other Chris). Usually I don’t share jokes here on the site but this one cracked me up.  I don’t know if it was because I have kids or what but I almost lost a keyboard when I saw this one.

A quick thanks to Casper for posting a great followup link (15 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS)  to my Make money online with Google AdSense post. For those of you too busy to read it, the TOS for Google states only certain languages are supported. I wonder how many people using the Global Translator plugin even realize their breaking their Google Terms of Service? Also in the same article, Yan told me about WordTracker and Wordpot, two really cool tools for helping you make money online by giving you more details about your keyword choices.

Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) posted a great link to The 2008 Founders’ Letter, while I still think Twitter is pretty lame I do think this is a great reason to be on it. Guys like Matt (who I call the Guru of Google) routinely post tons of amazing content links that help us better understand the inner workings of Google. Speaking of Twitter, Syed posted a pretty cool article this morning called 48 Excellent Examples Of Blog Post Footer Designs that’ll give you a great idea of what to do with that footer.

So that’s it for today, I’m off to do some coding and video work for the day but just a quick note to let you know I’ve updated my WordPress plugins this morning, so Auto CopyrightEasy Technorati Tags for WordPressNo More FramesWordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover and  WordPress PHP Info have all been updated on the WordPress plugins directory. If you have comments or feedback, critiques or compliments on any of my plugins please send them to me, if I don’t hear back from people I can’t work to make them better.

Have a great weekend.

Three Awesome WordPress Designs

There are a lot of great WordPress blogs out there and some amazingly cool designs. I picked three of my personal favorites to demonstrate how cool WordPress can be and how one simple web tool can be used to create some different looks.

Smashing Magazine
Smashing Magazine makes great use of a magazine style WordPress theme.

Upstart Blogger
This is a far more traditional blog look and feel but still unique.
