Coolest “Web Based” Image Editors
Here is a list of web-based image editors that I found to be the coolest.
Web based editors allow you to make changes to an image from anywhere without having to install applications for example when you are not at home or on your laptop. Or for support techs like me -- I work with Financial Advisors helping them develop their own websites and most of them have no use for photoshop and asking them to download a program like Infranview just to crop or resize one picture for their website would be illogical - so I'm always looking for easy to use web based image editors to link them to...which brings me to why I researched this topic and wrote this post. :) I hope some of you also find it useful.
Meta Tags in Plain English
Meta-tags are used by search engines to correctly index and rank web sites. The most important meta tags are the keywords meta tags and the description meta tags and both are essential for any well-built site.
When you create a website and you submit it to the search engines, the search engines "spiders" are sent out to "crawl" the site and attempt to correctly index it based on the information it provides. They do this based on several things including the keywords in the content and in the meta tags. Each search engine indexes web sites according to their own algorithms. Some place emphasis on the description tag, such as AltaVista. Other search engines, like Exactseek, are meta tag purists, as stated in their user policy: “Your site will not be added if it does not have Title and Meta description tags.”
Recently, some search engines have downplayed the importance of meta tags due to spam. Some SEO “specialists” were keyword stuffing their tags with irrelevant information, just to get traffic. To penalize this abuse, some search engines don’t assign too much weight to the keywords in meta tags, but they still check to make sure they are relevant.

New Social Networking Icon Sets Galore!
Two cool new sites offering new social networking icon sets. It's always nice to see new sets and I'm always looking so if you know of one I have not posted please let me know or if you've designed one and you'd like to be featured - Let me know!
Both sites were designed using.. My Site My Way which is something new to me..what I found strange instead of them having their own domain names they use a subdomain - for example: icons.mysitemyway.com must be great for mysitemyway's search engine optimization! If I were the webmaster however at one of these sites I would definintly register my own domain name. I'd want my ranking, seo etc.. to go towards my site not my web hosts.
