The Next Step in SEO
Here’s a great video explaining the basics of Google’s latest search engine algorithm update (Panda).
I think the general direction Google is headed in is great–as designers we’re happy to know that our sites will not only be judged by their technical aspects but their aesthetic appeal as well. I’m sure there will be some rough patches as they work to figure this out, but I like the direction they’re going!
Concrete Canvas
Since we’re in the heart of tornado season here in the Midwest, I thought that this would be an appropriate bit of design news to share. Talk about an interesting solution to a common problem in the disaster management field!
Chanticleer and Erin Bode
This week I had the pleasure of attending a couple different concerts, Chanticleer (presented by the Hesston-Bethel Performing Arts Series and hosted during a blizzard at Bethel College‘s Memorial Hall) and the Erin Bode Group (at Hesston College‘s Dyck Arboretum).
While each of the concerts had a few small things I disliked, overall I was entertained and fascinated by one fact: they were both groups of artists performing their art passionately for others. They had long gotten over any fears they might have once had about being judged or criticized or made fun of for pursuing their passions, and are now making a living doing what they love.
Congratulations on having the courage to follow your passion. I wish you both continued success in your endeavors!
