 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://make-community-better.geeksugar.com/Savvy-Links-956470&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am loving Savvy&#039;s addition to Sugar but I can never tell when she has included a link in her posts since the navy blue color of the link matches so closely to the black font. It would help if it was a bit lighter or perhaps underlined???&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Who said this, was it Rush, Cheney, Glen Beck, no it was...........</title>

 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://conservative-salt.tressugar.com/Who-said-Rush-Cheney-Glen-Beck-6856673&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;By &lt;a href=&quot;http://topics.nytimes.com/top/opinion/editorialsandoped/oped/columnists/maureendowd/index.html?inline=nyt-per&quot; title=&quot;More Articles by Maureen Dowd&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MAUREEN DOWD&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Published: December 29, 2009&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
I was walking through a deserted downtown on Christmas Eve with a friend, past the lonely, gray Treasury Building, past the snowy White House with no president inside.&lt;br /&gt;
“I hope the terrorists don’t think this is a good time to attack,” I said, looking protectively at the White House, which always looks smaller and more vulnerable and beautiful than you expect, no matter how often you see it up close.&lt;br /&gt;
I thought our guard might be down because of the holiday; now I realize our guard is down every day.&lt;br /&gt;
One thrilling thing about moving from W. to Barack Obama was that Obama seemed like an avatar of modernity.&lt;br /&gt;
W., Dick Cheney and Rummy kept ceaselessly dragging us back into the past. America seemed to have lost her ingenuity, her quickness, her man-on-the-moon bravura, her Bugs Bunny panache.&lt;br /&gt;
Were we clever and inventive enough to protect ourselves from the new breed of Flintstones-hardy yet Facebook-savvy terrorists?&lt;br /&gt;
W.’s favorite word was “resolute,” but despite gazillions spent and Cheney’s bluster, our efforts to shield ourselves seemed flaccid.&lt;br /&gt;
President Obama’s favorite word is “unprecedented,” as Carol Lee of Politico pointed out. Yet he often seems mired in the past as well, letting his hallmark legislation get loaded up with old-school bribes and pork; surrounding himself with Clintonites; continuing the Bushies’ penchant for secrecy and expansive executive privilege; doubling down in Afghanistan while acting as though he’s getting out; and failing to capitalize on snazzy new technology while agencies thumb through printouts and continue their old turf battles.&lt;br /&gt;
Even before a Nigerian with Al Qaeda links tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines jet headed to Detroit, travelers could see we had made no progress toward a technologically wondrous Philip K. Dick universe.&lt;br /&gt;
We seemed to still be behind the curve and reactive, patting down grannies and 5-year-olds, confiscating snow globes and lip glosses.&lt;br /&gt;
Instead of modernity, we have airports where security is so retro that taking away pillows and blankies and bathroom breaks counts as a great leap forward.&lt;br /&gt;
If we can’t catch a Nigerian with a powerful explosive powder in his oddly feminine-looking underpants and a syringe full of acid, a man whose own father had alerted the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a traveler whose ticket was paid for in cash and who didn’t check bags, whose visa renewal had been denied by the British, who had studied Arabic in Al Qaeda sanctuary Yemen, whose name was on a counterterrorism watch list, who can we catch?&lt;br /&gt;
We are headed toward the moment when screeners will watch watch-listers sashay through while we have to come to the airport in hospital gowns, flapping open in the back.&lt;br /&gt;
In a rare bipartisan success, House members tried to prevent the Transportation Security Administration from implementing full-body imaging as a screening tool at airports.&lt;br /&gt;
Just because Republicans helped lead the ban on better technology and opposed airport security spending doesn’t mean they’ll stop Cheneying the Democrats for subverting national security.&lt;br /&gt;
Congressman Pete Hoekstra of Michigan was weaselly enough to whack the president and “weak-kneed liberals” in his gubernatorial fund-raising letter.&lt;br /&gt;
Before he left for vacation, Obama tried to shed his Spock mien and juice up the empathy quotient on jobs. But in his usual inspiring/listless cycle, he once more appeared chilly in his response to the chilling episode on Flight 253, issuing bulletins through his press secretary and hitting the links. At least you have to &lt;span class=&quot;italic&quot;&gt;seem&lt;/span&gt; concerned.&lt;br /&gt;
On Tuesday, Obama stepped up to the microphone to admit what Janet Napolitano (who learned nothing from an earlier Janet named Reno) had first tried to deny: that there had been “a systemic failure” and a “catastrophic breach of security.”&lt;br /&gt;
But in a mystifying moment that was not technically or emotionally reassuring, there was no live video and it looked as though the Obama operation was flying by the seat of its pants.&lt;br /&gt;
Given that every utterance of the president is usually televised, it was a throwback to radio days - just at the moment we sought reassurance that our security has finally caught up to “Total Recall.”&lt;br /&gt;
All that TV viewers heard, broadcast from a Marine base in Kaneohe Bay, was the president’s disembodied voice, talking about “deficiencies.”&lt;br /&gt;
Citing the attempt of the Nigerian’s father to warn U.S. authorities six months ago, the president intoned: “It now appears that weeks ago this information was passed to a component of our intelligence community but was not effectively distributed so as to get the suspect’s name on a no-fly list.”&lt;br /&gt;
In his detached way, Spock was letting us know that our besieged starship was not speeding into a safer new future, and that we still have to be scared.&lt;br /&gt;
Heck of a job, Barry.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

 <title>How to Blog and Increase Traffic</title>
 <link>http://jhansen09pit.popsugar.com/How-Blog-Increase-Traffic-6299248</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://jhansen09pit.popsugar.com/How-Blog-Increase-Traffic-6299248&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;These days everybody has a blog but a lot of them float unread out on the web  cloud. So the big question I continue hearing is&lt;b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.johnchow.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;how to blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; and how do i get more  traffic to my blog? The answer is easy, and if you&#039;re willing to put in some  time you can do it for free as well . Blogs are kind of just like any  other internet site out there. Sure they&#039;re designed to make it straightforward  for bloggers to post stories, images, and video without much computer savvy but  in reality they are just user friendly mini-websites. So now you have one you  want to get increased visitors to it so here&#039;s a few of the free and basic first  steps how to blog and how to increasing your blogs traffic. Blog About Something  people Care About. Seriously - if nobody cares about your blog because it is  simply random talk about what you ate that morning you are not going to pick up  a lot of traffic. However , regardless of how weird your interests might be  somebody out there also cares about them. So this one is a straightforward -  just blog about something that someone else can relate to. Submit Your Blog  to Directories. This one is also simple but takes a bit of time. There are a lot  of free services out there where you can submit your blog to. They are  fundamentally like giant phonebooks for blogs and when you add your blog to  their service more folks will be able to find your blog. You will be able to  categorize your blog and most of them let you use your own&#039;tags&#039; which are  largely key words. Just jump on your favourite search website and type in  something like&#039;free blog submission&#039; and you will find lots of sites which can  help you out. More tips: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zimbio.com/How+to+Blog+Safely/articles/nuXBV-ch58b/How+to+Blog+Safely?add=True&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;How  to Blog Safely&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Have a Blog roll. Blogs often have a listing  of links somewhere that lists the other blogs or websites that are related or  that the blogger enjoys visiting. If you need to help raise traffic find some  sites which will trade you a link on their blog for one on yours. Do not get too  carried away with this though as you can lose traffic if you abuse this. This is  where you start to get into the web&#039;s deeper and more inner workings so for  brevity we&#039;ll just leave it with this : you do not want more than about 100  links on your front page or you may basically cut back your chance for gigantic  traffic. Submit Your Blog to feed readers. Most blog services have the facility  to create a&#039;feed&#039;. You might hear folks talking about RSS, syndication, or feed  readers. Essentially what this suggests is each blog creates a list of what  posts have been added to it very like news for a newspaper. You&#039;ll be able to  find sites out there like the Blog Directories which you can submit your blog  feed or RSS to. If you do this they&#039;ll pick up your reports and folk can then  dig thru them for interesting how to blog. The better part about these feed  systems is that most continue to check your blog for updates so once you have  submitted it you can just reap the advantages. Blog often and When  acceptable. One mistake some folks make with blogging is blogging when they have  nothing helpful to point out just to get another&#039;post&#039; on their blog. If you are  doing this then you&#039;re going to have a hard time making fans who are interested  in saving your page in their favourites or bookmarks. However , you wish to  often update your blog. If you do not post regularly then you will bore your  fans. Blog frequently but check you are blogging something of interest. Ensure  Your Blog Has a Theme. If you&#039;re blog is all over the place you may have a tough  time putting together a fan base. You may get some hits here and there by random  folk but you need to build a community. To do that you&#039;ll doubtless want to pick  some classes you are going to post about and stick with them. If you are the  type who likes to make random posts often you could just make a category called  Random Thoughts or something along those lines but again be cautious. if  you need folks to go to your blog then visit other blogs that are related to  yours and get concerned. You will find that people often leave comments with  links back to their own blog or another related blog in the comments. These are  part of the pingback/trackback system which can be a ton of fun and also get you  a lot of extra traffic. Avoid spamming though as you will just irritate  potential pals and you will probably have your comments removed and lose your  comment ability. Each blog service offers templates which can make your blog  look unique or have a style you&#039;re feeling fits.

Submit Your Blog to feed readers. Most blog services have the power to  make a&#039;feed&#039;. You might hear folk talking about RSS, syndication, or feed  readers.

So now that you have one you need to get more  traffic to it so here&#039;s a few of the free and basic first steps how to blog and  how to increasing your blogs traffic. Blog About Something people Care About.  Seriously - if nobody cares about your blog because it&#039;s just random talk about  what you ate that morning you are not going to pick up a lot of traffic. However  , irrespective of how weird your interests may be someone out there also cares  about them. So this one is a simple - just blog about something that somebody  else can relate to. Submit Your Blog to Directories. This one is also easy  but takes a bit of time. There are a lot of free services out there where you  can submit your blog to. They&#039;re fundamentally like giant phonebooks for blogs  and after you add your blog to their service more people will be able to find  your blog.

Blogs often have an inventory of  links somewhere that lists the other blogs or websites that are related or the  blogger enjoys visiting.

Submit Your Blog to feed readers. Most blog services have the power  to make a&#039;feed&#039;. You might hear folks talking about RSS, syndication, or feed  readers.
