Free Directory Listings Gets A New Look and more...

Hello all,

Here's a list of updated features and additions in the resources section:

• Free Directory Listings Gets A New Look
• More Free Directory Listings and Updates
• Switching CSS Style Sheets Dependent on Screen Size with JavaScript

Free Directory Listings Gets a New Look:

I have streamlined the listing format by including a table, for each entry, that lists the main points, so you can view them at a glance. This table lists: Is a reciprocal link required?; type of link (static or redirected); Google PageRank of directory's home page; is registration required; and the inclusion timeframe (either actual or stated on the site). I still include a short review of each directory.

More Free Directory Listings and Updates:

I have added and reviewed 7 new directories in the last week or so. I have also updated the submission progress status on a daily basis. I am using a new list of directories from the great folks at http://info.vilesilencer.com/. They offer a downloadable Excel file containing the directory URL, the PageRank, and include some user defined fields for your own use. This is a great list for future reference. Remember to use some restraint in your link building program. The search engines, especially Google, are thought to flag "un-natural" patterns in areas such as this.

Switching CSS Style Sheets Dependent on Screen Size with JavaScript:

A visitor asked me how adapt their CSS design for different screen resolutions and I knew that I had seen JavaScripts on the internet, but I couldn't remember where they were. So I turned to my trusty helper, Google, and searched until I found several. Most of them were published in various forums and the information was less than complete. I finally found one that looked promising, but it had a few problems too. I posted to the forum where I found the script and the great folks tek-tips.com helped me get it sorted out. I have posted it in the CSS Tips and Tricks section.

As a word of warning, to those of you that get some of your information from forum posts, be careful what you believe and from whom you take advise. Always test what you read in a controlled environment. Some information is incorrect and often incomplete. Since I'm not much of programmer (I hire a great colleague when I need one for projects), I thoroughly tested the JavaScript and method before I posted it for public viewing.

That's it for this post! By the way, as I said I would, I have added a mailing list form to my blog, so you can subscribe to my mailing list. If you want to know when I post something new here, use the bloglet subscription feature or grab one of the XML/Atom feeds in the side bar.

As always, feel free to comment below or send me an email by clicking on my name.
