Shortcut meta tag generator?

Tried a little shortcut -

to build meta tags for a new site.

Well no, they looked kinda funny and they don't valididate, at least not w/my DOCTYPE.

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!
