It is not often you can mix funny with web hosting. Thanks to the latest issues of Ping! Zine, I was turned onto a new comic that covers the web development side of things Web of Pain. Browsing through the archives on their web site, I had a lot of fun. This one still sticks out as my favorite thus far…
Well worth visiting to see the comics up so far. It is updated every second Monday, so there will be more fresh content worth checking out soon! Enter the Web of Pain!

Always looking for a better way to get the thoughts of the crowd, I ran across crowd sound. What is this web site all about? It is less of a web site and more of a tool to help you uniquely gather ideas and suggestions from your followers.
We all like feedback right? Here is how crowd sound works. All you do is sign up for your free account, and then login. Once you do, you can embed the widget into your web site. Just copy and paste some simple JavaScript into your own design.
Now with the web site widget, you can add some entries. and then have other visitors vote up the idea or vote down the idea. So this separates things into the people who want to give you good suggestions and the people who just like to vote for things. You can also via the widget browse through the most recent or the most popular.
I think crowd sound is delivering a very unique way of looking at feedback gathering from your base. Those could be customers, they could be readers. The thing that is important is that you get their views to make your content better.

Need some tiled bliss to lay on the background of your own recent web creation? BgPatterns.com is the background generator that you want to use. Not only does it have dozens of designs to pick from, you can also set the color, size of the design, and also the level that it is rotated at.
I promise you, once you get started you will see this is just more fun to figure out if you play with it some… change your colors up, and try to get as creative as you can. Want to see an example of the end result? I used the first background I made on my Twitter profile.
Snazzy right? Check it out and make your own at BgPatterns.com.

Last week’s episode of the Web Hosting Show had nearly 2,000 downloads in the span of 7 days. That is a new personal record for me. Now I am not usually one to talk about numbers, because compared with other out there I know I am probably going to be laughed or at least snickered at.
I don’t care though, because I am still proud!
So you know what, lets do it again! Episode 116 of the Web Hosting Show was just uploaded today. Download it, share it - give it to a friend because it is one heck of a good show if I do say so myself. On this week’s show I covered:
- Company Bio of FastServers.Net (Part 2 of 3)!
- Google Webmaster Tools Setup Guide and Help!
- How to Catch Hosting Friends with LinkedIn!
- The Best Way to Submit Your Site to the Search Engines!
- What is a Reverse IP Lookup?
So what are you waiting for? Go download the mp3 and lets see if we can get 4,000 downloads this week!
