If you haven’t already donated, or have the feeling that corruption, stupidity or greed might detour your donation to someone’s pocket, give directly to the monks.

Web rankings depend on a mysterious mix of incoming and outgoing links, the quality of said links, and content. To achieve better rankings, most people assume external links (links from other websites) are more important. The truth is internal pages actually offer more link value. Alt tags, page titles, keywords all work together to make a site search engine friendly. Even so, content is king. Search engines crave new content therefore they give more importance to sites with constantly changing content.
New content & Digg can drive enough traffic to your site to compensate for not really understanding the SEO rules of website design.

When I first got out of school it was still common to run around with your portfolio containing tear sheets and photographs. It was always a pain to collects these, the few copies in hand were precious and almost irreplaceable. I cannot count the times I lost my portfolio.

"And when he opened the fifth seal, I heard the voice of the fifth living creature say, “Come!” And I looked, and behold, a trojan horse! And its rider’s name was Data Loss, and Hardware Failure followed him…."

Lurking in and around my house, there is a most heinous form of pulp vermin. On my hard drive there is a folder , appropriately named "receipts", that holds PDF copies of the email receipts contained in another folder inside my mail app. In my TV cabinet, I have a drawer the size of a microwave full of 2007 receipts as well. The thought of even thinking about approaching these nests of rapidly- fading thermal-printed mayhem is so intimidating that I have been practicing the fine art of avoidance and denial.
During a particular tough practice session, I googled "best way to organize receipts" hoping to run across a magic wand that would paste up, organize, and mutate this scandalous evidence of my lifestyle into tax information.
Wow. I found one.
