John’s Rant:
Before we get into that though here is this week’s rant on:
My goal here is to hit on some subject each week that has been irritating me, it may or may not be related to WordPress but will always be related to the Internet.
This week it is on:
Internet crazies, well not really my youngest son has been pretty sick this week keeping me from doing a whole lot.
Shout Outs: redone from last week due to an error in the audio.
Laura received a great comment on her site about the podcast from Rahul, Thanks for the information on the plugins. I am a big fan of the all in one seo tools plugin. I had no idea thought that there were more useful ones. Thanks again!
John received some great feedback from his students at Qcollege was great to hear that I am helping people out.
