Try Mango Update

Try Mango is now working!!!

I posted about a site called [tag]TryMango.com[/tag] and was not very happy that the site did not work at all in any browser! One of my life goals is to [tag]learn Spanish[/tag] so I kept trying and to my shear joy, yesterday the site worked.

I tried a few of the lessons and I was impressed. This weekend when I have more time to play with it, I will get a better idea of how good of a learning tool it will be for me.

Yahoo Search Updated

Today [tag]Yahoo[/tag] has added a new feature to it’s search. The new feature is similar to the [tag]Google toolbar [/tag]recommended [tag]search results[/tag]. As you type your search query Yahoo opens a [tag]widget[/tag] below with recommended search terms. I assume they are suggesting terms that they know are similar, based on user data. I am a big fan of the feature, so I can’t wait to try it out.

Making WordPress SEO Friendly URLS

SEO_WP_image.gifI put together a short video on how to make your [tag]WordPress blog[/tag] [tag]URL[/tag]s [tag]search engine friendly[/tag]. It’s a simple task, but can help you out tremendously in your effort to [tag]rank[/tag] on the front page of the major search engines.

How it works: WordPress takes advantage of the [tag].htacess file[/tag] to do a [tag]URL re-write[/tag].

The default setting: http://www.trafficisgold.com/?p=123

URL re-write change: http://www.trafficisgold.com/2007/09/24/wordpress-23-is-now-available/
