Today’s 5th stumble took me to UAddit’s Web 2.0 workplaces.

In this post he shows some pictures of the workplaces or offices that are behind the most common web 2.0 sites.
He starts with the offices from Twitter, that’s really gaining popularity the last month among bloggers. If you want to follow my tweets, you can select follow in my profile, by this link or by the large T in the right sidebar of my site.
Further in his post he shows the office’s of Facebook, Digg, Craiglist, Mozilla, Joost, flickr, Last.fm, Jaiku, LinkedIn, netvibes and Reddit.

Also for every Web 2.0 site he has added some info about how the site started, who founded it and so more. Especially Flickr is interesting, started in 2004 and sold to Yahoo only 1 year later for $35 Million. Talk about fast money

Anyway, sure worth a visit.

Last week’s stumbling Friday received 2 comments. And as a reward, I’m going to search trough the sites of those 2 commentators to stumble 1 post each.

This Friday stumble, brought me to webdistortion.com’s website checklist, 20 things to check before going live.

Ending up on this page after my 5th stumble of the day, this surely can come in to use if I’m going live with the redesign of my other site that I’m still working on. I know, it’s taking a while, but due to lack of time etc…

Anyway, reading trough the post, you can find some useful SEO tips as well.
Tip 1, 2 and 3 are very good examples of some easy SEO implementations you can make to your page. Especially the Title tag is easily forgotten on many blogs.
Tip 6 regarding the footer year copyright, is also something that everyone tends to forget. In the example shown, he’s using javascript, but you can also use some simple php

<?php echo date('Y');?>

to achieve the same.

As for tip 17, I didn’t even know it existed. Surely have to do this one.
So far this Friday’s Stumble, hope you’ll have a good read!

Last week’s Friday Stumble received 2 comments. Thx Beverly and Franca Richard. I’m currently snooping through your site’s to see if there’s a very interesting post I can stumble for you.

Ah I also have an update on my previous post, ‘Entrecard banned me’. Well actually they didn’t ban me. A few hours after I’ve received the banned message, I could login again. At morning the day after, I still could login, so everything ok. Once at work I’ve tried to login again because I received a message to approve an advertiser, but again I received the banned message.
This made me think that instead of banning me or my account, they are banning the IP-range I’m on.
At home I’ve tested if I could logon and yes I could, so I’ve contacted an admin and explained it and yes they were banning the IP range I’m on. So that’s basically it, I’m not evil at all

Stumbling Friday – Useful links for every web designer

Today was my lucky day, not only did I win big today at our daily Texas Hold’em Poker game we play at noon at work, but the site I Stumbled upon today came by very handy.
Especially because I’m working on a redesign of another site.

It shows useful links for every web designer.
With the links he also gives a short explanation about the link and what you can do with it.
A couple of them I did know, but there are definitely new sites in it, that will be added to my already big favorites list.

That concludes this week’s Stumbling Friday.

As I expected with the poor stumble last week, the post itself didn’t get any comments. Too bad, as you could have gotten your site or blog or post stumbled by me.
Well never mind, you’ll get a new chance for it with this post until next Stumbling Friday’s post.

Now I’m going to check out my top commentator for March his blog and make a review about it.
This is one of the prizes you’ll win for being my top commentator of the month.

Well today’s 5th stumble was a bit disappointing, but on the other hand very useful if you’re developing sites.

I ended up on Mediacollege.com’s Country list page.

Here you can find a complete list written in html that you just have to copy/paste into your code to use it.

You have 2 options.

• Option 1: Country list with values as a 2-letter code
• Option 2: Country list with full name as value

The values you can use afterwards to make some checks on or so.

And that’s it. As said, I felt a bit unhappy with this stumble, but I’m sure some of my readers will find this stumble pretty handy.

Last week’s Stumbling Friday about ‘Web resources for Students’ got 1 comment. Thx Shanker!
I’ve stumbled one of your posts as a little prize for the comment.

Remember, Stumbling Friday is about sharing some traffic love by stumbling.
You comment on this post, you’ll get stumbled by me.
And if you’re interested in joining the ‘Stumble me, I Stumble you’ movement, just let me know!

Also remember that the end of the month is almost there. If you end up first in my Top commentator’s list, I will reward you for it, like I did last month. Look at February’s Top commentator #1.

My 5th stumble I came across with today was Studenthack.org post about ‘101+ Web resources for students’.

It shows URL’s to sites that could be very useful if you’re a student yourself.
Whenever you have to write a paper for school, you can check out the links, maybe there’s something interesting available for you to help you out.
There’re links to Almanacs, Biographies, Dictionaries, Encyclopedias, General Research, Journal articles databases, literature, …

In my last Stumbling Friday post, there was 1 brave soul that took the challenge to post a comment.
Your site is stumbled by me now.

Now enjoy this weeks stumble.
