• Skelliewag gives us a Complete Guide to Finding and Using Flickr Images. Bookmark the Creative Commons search page, I have to say that I’m going to be implementing this ASAP - I’ve used images in this blog, but not nearly to the extent that I wish. Now that I understand more about the Creative Commons’ Licenses,  you’ll see better pictures more frequently on TheMarketingVa.com.

• If you read no other blog post about blogging this week, Darren Rowse has hit the nail on the head with 21 Ways to Make Your Website or Blog Sticky. My favorite:

• Mark Silver continually amazes me - Check out his article on Biznik, “The Bermuda Triange That Eats Your Referrals“. (Connect with me on Biznik by clicking here) “After the 10,000th time (it seemed), a client told me they referred someone who never contacted me. I began to call it “The Bermuda Referral Triangle.”So… where were they? Why didn’t Frank, or Joan, or Amin, or Josephina ever call, despite glowing recommendations and urgings from their friends?”

• Firefox Shortcut Keys: My knowledge of Firefox shortcut keys was driving me batty. I NEEDED an alt+tab for Firefox! (I found it - ctrl+tab) Wanna know for yourself? Learn Firefox shortcut keys here
