River Vale libery closing for renovations; needed an alert box

Although the River Vale Library has one of Web Developers Studios' limited content management systems, it didn't accomodate changes to the home page. So now that the library is closing for a renovation (sounds like it will be nice), we needed to add that as a custom item.

The director expressed interst in going with a full blown content managment system in 2010.

Yahoo doesn't send the authorization code for domain transfers -- go get it!

Yahoo is none to eager to have you leave their overpriced domain management service. When transfering a domain to another registrar, I waited patiently for the authoriziation from Yahoo. After a few days, I logged in with my old Yahoo id (thankfully I keep my records pretty tidy), and needed to hunt around their panels to find the "authorization code from the current registar".

Merchant Circle & LinkedIn Badges

Here are two useful tools I always have trouble getting back to.

Merchant Circle Directory List

Not long ago, I spent an quite a while poking around my Merchant Circle account looking for the list of directories my business is already listed in and what directories I need to work on.

1. Signin to Merchant Circle
2. Go to this link: http://www.merchantcircle.com/merchant/threesixty/listed

Navigation there also seems easy today: On the sidebar click "View Website Performance" then "Where Am I Listed?".

LinkedIn badges

Linked In badges are another one I always have trouble finding. This one is a bit more involved and a direct link seems impossible:

How to find the LinkedIn badge page:
1. Sign in to LinkedIn;
2. In the left sidebar, under the "Profile" main link, click the "Edit My Profile" sublink;
3. In the dark blue area above the main content (above "Hi, Terri"), there is a large heading that says "Edit Public Profile Settings". You think that's where you already are, so it seems like just the heading of the page. It's actually a link; click this.
4. Under the second blue rounded corner box (the big one) that reads "Public Profile", the second bullet list item says "Promote your profile with customized buttons". "customized buttons" is a link (this one obvious).
5. There's my buttons!
