Over at How To Change The World, Guy Kawasaki (you know, the Mac guy) tossed out a post about a tool called Website Grader. This free tool gives your website a SEO “grade”
I entered in this site’s information and was given, within minutes, a score and a few items where I can improve my site reach to my audience.
based on a few criteria that you enter into the site. Being that I’m always interested in the reach that my website has, I entered in this site’s information and was given, within minutes, a score and a few items where I can improve my site reach to my audience.
It would seem that I have a lot of room for search engine optimization improvement. In other words, my scores were…lacking. I definitely will be working on that presently behind the scenes. Successful networking is certainly something that I am all about these days.
How are you working on SEO? Feel free to email me, or drop me a note in the comments.

Lifehacker brings the goods on kids’ freeware.
KidsDomain has put together a massive list of freeware for kids, sorted by subjects such as Art, Science, Math, Creativity, etc.
There is a lot of stuff here, and it’s all free. Try building a train diorama, or printing out one of dozens of free coloring books, or check out the free card games (Caveman Cards, anyone?). This would be a great site to visit with the kids for a few rainy/snowy day activities.
I am so all over this. If Kids Domain can keep kids occupied in a healthy, educational, and creative way, they certainly have my support. I will be quite pleased to give them a try, and will probably blog the results, knowing my general geekitude.

I’ve been blogging from email for some time, but this particular app seemed quite well timed for me, especially since I have had so many problems getting that to work lately.
Software blog Download Squad gives the scoop on BlogMailr, a free tool that lets you add posts to your blog just by sending e-mails.
Glory be to Lifehacker! We love you, Gina.
Incidentally, the link to the BlogMailr is right here. Yippie!
I’d also like to add that you should expand your mind and listen to Littlefeat. I am doing that right now.
Update: The first time I posted this today failed. What timing. In other words, you need this app.
Update x2: The second time that I’ve posted this today failed. Arrgh.

Seriously, I’m so sorry that I forgot to mention this particular bit of info.
Want Open Source?
We post scads of
free downloads here on Lifehacker, but today instead of pimping yet another Google product, I’d like to tip my hat to the open source developers who release innovative, useful products that make our lives that much easier every day - because it’s our right, not privilege, to control our own data.
Open source roots are in the Unix operating system, but these days many "free as in speech" applications are available for Windows as well - and today I’ve got a list of my top 10 favorites.
None of these cost a dime to download and use, but do donate whatever and whenever you can to the projects that benefit you the most.
You know that’s got to be
Lifehacker. Sigh. I would devote some quality time reading that article, if I were you.
Really, I should do a plug to another
long-forgotten post that I made about subjects similiar to this right here in POW - the blog.
But I won’t.
See what I did there?

I found this yesterday, but figured I’d save for a rainy day.
Although outside it’s HOT, here it is:
Emurse.
Emurse has got to be one of the most useful sites I’ve come across lately. Not only can you create a resume using their handy dandy template tool, but Emurse also allows you to download your resume from anywhere AND gives you the choice to instantly turn your resume into a web site so employers can find you.
How found?
Lifehacker, kiddies. I can’t express the love enough.
I’ve yet to use the service, but it suuuuuure looks interesting. Lots of feedback as well. I say check it out. Template? Download anywhere? WEBSITE? Yeah, baby. Not to mention a mess of things I haven’t mentioned yet.
