Happened to run across this fantastic wallpaper the other day, and wanted to share it with you all here. Anybody know knows me well, knows I am a huge Legend of Zelda fan boy – so this wallpaper is just perfect for me.
No idea who the original source is for it, however here are a few different screen resolutions: 1920×1200, 1680×1050, 1440×900, and 1280×800.
Pick the one that suits your monitor best, and enjoy. (via Fanpop)
Your meta description says a lot about your web page. If you get a lot of visitors from Google, it could be the only thing you have to use to sell them on clicking that link to find out more information. So what steps can you take to make your search engine snippets stand out?
I have a few simple tips to share:

This should make for a fun weekend project, and I can promise you will see even more traffic from the various search engines out there.
WooRank is an impressive new web site analysis tool worth singing the praises of. I have several of these types of online tools bookmarked, and I have written about most of them. The thing that separates WooRank’s analysis of a domain over any other tool is the plethora of information they provide to you.

I love to write, and have done so semi-professionally for the past seven years or so. Sometimes though, a good topic to write about it hard to find, or you might be out of creative muses to inspire you. That is where the web site Write for Ten comes into play.
Television commercials just haven’t been the same since Billy Mays passed away, right? I think so. If you feel like your missing Billy Mays enough to seek out his best lines from the Internet, I have a resource you should not do without.
Over the weekend, I downloaded a new WiiWare game – so thought I would give my thoughts on it here. Castlevania: The Adventure ReBirth is by far a great classic Castlevania game.
The graphics look fantastic. They really go for that old Super Castlevania IV look and feeling. Sure, we have seen it before in a Castlevania game but sometimes you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.
I’ve had this idea for some time now, so I thought now would be the perfect time to whip something together. I was always a big fan of the artwork used on the old Atari 2600 games. The ones that looked hand painted were always so epic for such a simple little game. These days gave cover art is overlooked, so why not make some wallpaper, providing a throwback the older gaming generation?
Who doesn’t love Mega Man? The challenge, the cursing at the level, the broken controllers, and then the satisfaction of beating that (insert random thing here) Man boss. Then, of course the grim realization that you have at least seven more bosses to go.

Disqus Review – Troubleshooting in Take Two
The last time I used the web site commenting service Disqus, I was really less than impressed. Back in July 2009, I tried it and for lack of a better term, it was sloppy. While the core of the system worked, it seems as if nobody there paid attention to detail. However, everybody deserves a second shot.
Fast forward to about a week ago, when I decided to re-install Disqus again on Mitchelaneous.com, FirefoxFacts.com and WebHostingShow.com. As a reminder, here are the flaws the system had before:
