Saturday Speedlinkin V
As another Saturday is upon us, it’s time for another dose of Saturday Speedlinkin!
This week things went well on the site as I tried what (I think) will become my trademark style of postings…Blog tips in the morning, and video game jazz in the evenings.
I think I’ll eventually move my video game efforts to another blog, but if I were to try and do that now I’d be spreading myself incredibly thin.
The Thing About Comments by Apex – Earlier in the week I was compelled to write a post for my buddy Apex in order to help him figure out what was going on with his blog. The short of it is, his blog has been around forever getting decent hits on Google, but unfortunately getting NO comments. Thankfully, a lot of fantastic people stepped up to bat giving him some wonderful advice that will undoubtedly help him overcome this small hurdle. (#):)
A Post for Andrew by Tish – Frequenting Tish’s websites, this wasn’t the first time I’ve seen her picture. But I DO BELIEVE this is the first time I’ve seen her with a big ol’ grin and she couldn’t look better! You certainly should post more pics like this budddddddd-y!
Tracking RSS Subscribers in Analytics by Rhys – Do I really need to say anything? I’ve honestly not put this into action yet, but if it’s coming from Rhys I have no doubt it’ll work. And personally for me, the more stuff I can get into Analytics the better.
Gaining Page Views and Returning Visitors Using Post Series by Sarah – When I wrote my Start Blogging Series a while ago it just about killed me. No lie. But, it remains one of my bigger hit posts to date. Here’s why you also should jump into the “Series” mix.

that’s cool I had no idea you could track rss susbcribers in google. i guess you learn something new every day

@Shaun – I had heard that you could do it, but wherever I heard it, didn’t exactly say HOW. So nice job w/ Rhys pickin’ up the slack!

Thanks for the link love, Bush! You’re the best.
I’ll have to take a photo just for you!

Sounds like a good set of links! I must admit the most attractive is to see a new picture of Tish!!!!! You made a small spelling boo-boo on my name in your blogroll, it’s Revellian! No biggie and I am very proud to be listed in the very cool Bush Mackel Blogroll!

@Tish – OOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!
@Bobby – You know, I’ve actually caught myself mispelling your name a couple times now! I just don’t want to put that second “L” for some reason! Sorry Bobby and thanks for catching it! *thumbs up*

Thanks Bush for the link love this week. Series can be a bit draining, but the pay off is worth it! Rhys idea is so cool and I am going to put that in place at some point, hopefully along with my new about page. Enjoy your weekend!

@G-Newt – You still haven’t done your about page!?!

Great links Bush! And I really enjoyed that picture of Tish. Ah, the good ‘ole days.

Thanks for the linky love, really appreciate it!
Quick question. I noticed on your Technorati Profile your tagline is “Attack me if you dare, I will crush you.” I know it’s from Street Fighter II, but who? I suspect it is M. Bison. Am I correct?

@Aaron – A lot of ppl certainly turned out some quality work this week. *nod*
@Rhys – I suspect, INCORRECT! (#);D Let’s see how good my memory is w/ SF quotes…
Ken : “Attack me if you dare, I will crush you.”
Ryu : “You must defeat Sheng Long to stand a chance.”
Guile : “Go home and be a family man.”
Chun-Li : “I’m the strongest woman in the world!”
Dhalsim : *don’t know*
M-Bison (US): *i think* “Get lost! You can’t compare with my powers!”
E-Honda : *don’t know*
Blanka : *don’t know*
Zangief : *don’t know*
Vega : *i think* “Pretty fighters never lose a battle” *i think*
Balrog (US) : *don’t know*
Sagat : *don’t know*
I used to love that game. But now if I have my choice of fighting games, it’s SFIII (which is technically the best fighting game ever made imho) or Tekken 5 (which is the best 3D fighter ever)

Can fill in some gaps there:
Dhalsim: I will mediate then destroy you!
Blanka: Seeing you in action is a joke.
E-Honda: Can’t you do better than that?
Zangief: My Strength is greater than yours!
M Bison: Anybody who opposes me shall be destroyed!

@Rhys – Ha ha. Nice work. Glad to see a fellow SF fan out there. BTW, you can check out a ton of more quotes here on *groan* Wikipedia.

Bush, thanks! My first time in your Saturday Speed Links. I feel so happy! Not exactly the post I would want to see here, but hopefully that will change when I start implementing some changes into my site.

@Apex – I really think what you’re going through is common to a lot of bloggers at one point or another and not only will it undoubtedly help others, but I’m sure you’ll be able to look back at this with some perspective months down the line and look at from where you’ve come. *nod*

[...] 17th, 2007 at 11:23 pm (photos of me) Bush Mackel suggested that I post new pics with a big toothy smile. These were taken with my webcam, so the quality [...]

Hi, Bush! I’ve just presented you with the You Make Me Smile award! Congrats!
That toothy smile photo is proof that you make me smile! hehe.
