Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in most people's minds, seems to be an effort to generate back links. Most completely miss the point that a web site should be developed to create sustainable traffic by posting high quality content that users wish to read.
Does the aluminum cladding on your home look faded or not shiny?
The reason for this is oxidization. It can be cured buy using an automotive de-oxidizing cream. Simply apply and polish. I use a product called Gel-gloss which is made for polishing acrylics. It will make your aluminum fascia, trough and doors look like they are new.
More to come.....
I talked a bit of soffit venting. People are asking how do I tell if there working? Well the easiest way to tell is to go into your attic and take a look around the edges. If you do not see any light from that area, you are a victim of poor ventilation. If you can see a little light you had better work on opening up the spaces between between the rafters/trusses. Use Moore vents between the underside of the roof decking and the insulation, to allow air flow.
Your box needs to breath too. Houses since the early 1980's are constructed with 100% vented soffit ventilation. When you look up under the overhangs of your house you are looking at the soffit. Houses built before the 80's had plywood soffit and vent grates were installed to allow air to move into the attic space. In attempt to beautify their homes many people have installed vented aluminum or vinyl soffit. This makes the house look a lot cleaner but I have found that in many inspections that the installers of the vented soffit did nothing to increase the air flow to the roof.
Some are big. Some are small. No matter what shape it has finally taken, the dwelling that you live in is a basic box, or a series of boxes. Built plumb, level and square it should provide adequate safe living for you and your family for a long period of time.
It has taken longer then planed to edit and post the videos I took at the Community Harvest Market on Sunday. I have managed to get one clip up on youtube so far, and I hope to get the rest of them up tomorrow. Youtube seems to be excessively slow today.
Attending the grand opening, was Sara Meers, Councilor for the Cataraqui District. Miss Meers was very excited about the new market in her own district. She thanked all the participants, organizers and volunteers who made this market a reality. Sara Meers grew up in the Cataraqui district and has been the councilor there since 2003.
http://blog-it.ca has both a user set twitter and a site wide updater. Over the course of the day, the site admin and I were running into 401s when we were trying to update Twitter from some of our blog pages.
We never found out quite why, but Roger tells me it has something to do with a ghost in the machine. I will dub the: Casper.
Has anyone else run in to this sort of problem? If you have seen this problem, drop me a line or post a comment on my blog. If you have a solution, even better.
As part of my duties as a rural affairs correspondent for BuyFromTheFarm.ca and other publications, I often get invited to all sorts of local events in my hometown of Kingston, Ontario.
This coming Sunday (May 31st, 2009), I will be attending the grand opening of The Community Harvest Market with camera and notepad in hand. The market will be giving out fifty $5.00 coupons to families shopping at the market.
Top Ten Farmers Markets: BuyFromTheFarm.ca Issues Media Challenge
A CBC.ca article entitled “3 Maritime farmers' markets among top 10 across Canada” refers to an article in Canadian Geographic saying: “The magazine published its list of the top 10 farmers' markets...” Canadian Geographic has in fact published Anita Stewart's top ten favourite farmers' markets.
“Prolific cookbook author, culinary activist and regional foods champion Anita Stewart digs into Canada’s bumper crop of farmers’ market” --Canadian Geographic.
