Political Websites

I came across an interesting "linguistic analysis" report of the Obama and McCain political websites. It seems to say a lot to all of us about how our websites come across to our audience. It also says just as much about the politicians themselves!

The article was found in the free online Website Magazine. Check it out!

I've just come across something new to me: Pipes. What the heck are they? Well, if you don't know, just as I don't know, here's a place to start:



The way I discovered about pipes is through a website link to Pipes by Paolability. I got to her site while investigating relative links - Keep your URLs Trim. Doggone it - that's why this web business is so time-consuming: one thing lead to another! Anyway, check it out, and let me know what you think. If you already use pipes, let us know about it!

You might be wondering what is Web 2.0. Then again, you might have never even heard of it before! In either case, here's a video that sets the story straight:

Webs2Go Online!

I've already created various blogs (this makes #20!), but most of them are not public. I'm not sure if this one will be either. Anyway, I just thought I'd create a place for my web works and ramblings, so here it is...

I must admit: I also have illusions of one day creating a web business. My partner and I work together on webs - I create and design them, and she manages them. Here's an example of what we've done so far: NARFE 65.

Thus, the title "Webs to Go" alludes to this already-envisioned business enterprise.
