Every so often I get into serious web-surfing mode, and find things I don’t have much to say about, but think are worth sharing. I thought I might start a regular post on My Week on the Web, to post those links, and to list other things that might be of interest.
It also will give those who read by feed a second chance.
So, let’s see what I’ve been thinking about this week:
- Vikiworks™ Studio » A nice pullquote
- DZone – fresh links for developers
- Quick Favicon Tip to Insure its Visibility

Here @ Watermark:
& a quick update on the simplicity status: not so simple, again.
At reader requests, Recent Comments, the Twitter feed, and the imood widget have been returned to the sidebar.
On realizing that I use the Recent Posts feature all the time on other people’s blogs, I put that back, too.
TheGoodBlogs, MyBlogLog and BlogCatalog widgets have been moved to a new Networks page, along with some other networking stuff.
Finally, I realized I wasn’t really happy with the looks of my blog
anymore, cleaner and simpler though it might have been. So — more
little icons to amuse me, and a little color on the banner. I cut down
on the number of posts on the front page, to keep loading as quick as
possible, while satisfying my need for visual stimulation.
I hope you’re still happy.
