Cool Website Widgets

Normally, When people create useless crap for websites (everything myspace), I ignore it. I do however constantly have a need to be checking websites Google and Alexa ranking. I've come across a pretty cool little widget (best name I could come up with) to let you either check the Google and Alexa Ranking of a website, or actually display them on your site. It's pretty slick, it auto generates the website code in order to display it on your site. Very simple.

Here's an example for the website www.blogger.com

Google Page Rank -

Alexa Page Rank -

Woa, way to go Blogger!

Anyway, thats all for this post, I'd been looking for something like this (that doesn't have annoying popups, ugly text links, etc.) and here it is. Just though I'd share.

Something I just noticed, they also offer a counter... So apart from those two tools, they are also noobs. Kudos guys, for being llamas.

Welcome To Hosting Exposed

I've had the opportunity to work with 3 of the worlds largest hosting companies. I've learned a lot at these hosting companies and value the training I've received at each. The purpose of this blog is not to ruin the reputations that hosting companies have but to enlighten others that may wish to host with them.

There is nothing worse than signing up with a company that appears to be right for you only to later find out that they are in fact the worst choice you could have made. Falling in this very unfortunate trap usually isn't the fault of the customer, but more so - What the company really is vs. Who they portray themselves to be.

If you have anything to comment on any of these, as I'm sure many of you have a lot of experience in this industry, please feel free to do so.
