Tomorrow miLienzo.com reaches the grand old age of six months. This week will be one of reflection and realisation for me, and with your help I will make decisions for the future direction of this site.
Three months ago I set myself a series of blogging goals and targets for this six month birthday. So how [...]

This weekend I have been the victim of a wave of comment spam. In the space of 50 minutes one individual left a bout of comments. All were relevant to the topic of the posts although identifiable as spam as none of the comments were particularly deep or engaging - ie, one or two sentence [...]

Since I began writing this blog, I have never really used categories to define what I write. Instead, I prefer to use tags to more loosely associate a number of definitions to everything I write.
However, it struck me that my huge tag cloud at the bottom of every page is not necessarily the most user [...]

If you don’t know what RSS is or what a feed reader is, I suggest you find out because the Internet has changed since 1997. However, if all this talk of XML, aggregation and syndication still gives you the jitters, and all you want to do is subscribe to miLienzo.com, now you can do it [...]

But my favourite feature is being able to see your faces. I always build mental pictures of people I come across online, so it’s fascinating [...]

There’s something stirring over at Technorati HQ. Following the much debated reciprocal favouriting discussion, it seems the guys at Technorati have removed the list entirely!
Actually, I’ve been keeping a keen eye on the list this morning and sometimes it’s there, sometimes it’s not. It may just be a glitch.
However, over at engtech there is an [...]

Recently I’ve stood from the sidelines and watched with a little disappointment as hordes of bloggers have exchanged Technorati favourites in an attempt to game the system and break the Technorati Top 100 Most Favourited Blogs List.
The trend seems to have started over at doshdosh.com with a reciprocal favouriting scheme that works kind of like [...]

Over the past few months I’ve witnessed a quiet movement gain momentum and transform into a full-blown revolution. I talk of course, of the DoFollow movement.
By default, WordPress adds the “rel=nofollow” command to all links in comments. In fact, most blogging software does the same thing and the intentions are good - to prevent those [...]

It is a beast of a site that has risen from nothing over the last couple of years. In 2006, Digg established itself as one of the primary drivers of Internet traffic.
The concept of delivering democratically elected news articles sounds great in an idealistic kind of way. The reality however, is slightly different. As a [...]
