The higher octane rating means that the gas *burns hotter*, and if you give an 87 octane car 93 octane gas, you are making the combustion process burn much hotter than what the engine is designed to handle, making the car wear out much faster! If you gave your car premium gas every day it would wear out sooner than expected, and giving it premium gas even one day (like a birthday) is not a present at all. If you want your car to last as long as possible, stick to the octane rating it calls for.</p>

It's not worth it any more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Day after ceaseless day, the agony of having decisions by committee...  It's finally gotten the best of me.  I thought I could handle it, but it's just not working out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The latest straw to break this camel's back is the rush to &lt;a href="http://habariproject.org"&gt;release the Developer Review&lt;/a&gt;.  I'm not sure what the all-fired hurry is to release software that is obviously not ready for prime time.  Nevermind that we could have released at the end of January had we not wasted all of our time bickering over logos, default themes, HTML vs XHTML, and other irrelevant claptrap.  100+ messages about whether Habari should use HTML or XHTML.  I mean, is that really necessary?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;People have questioned whether the team could really pull off the release, and I told them, "No, no, we've got a great team.  We'll release something soon."  And I said that every day for months, and nothing happened.  And then, out of the blue, they want to release this codeset?  Forget it!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Well, clearly, I can't use WordPress any more, and I can't use Habari, so my only other option is to go it alone.  So, here's my big news...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://forkpress.com"&gt;&lt;img src="/images/forkpress.png" style="border:0px;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've been working on a separate project for a few weeks now, but I haven't said anything because I hadn't really committed to it.  But I've finally had enough, and I'm ready to announce it and maybe throw off those Habarians' developer release.  My solution is more robust than Habari simply because I've not had to put up with the committee approval on every decision.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I've gotten a couple of folks to fly my banner, including &lt;a href="http://skippy.net"&gt;skippy&lt;/a&gt;, and we've set up more support for our users in two weeks than Habari has even considered since October.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So, I'm kind of sad to see Habari go, but I'm glad to be rid of the bureaucracy.  I hope people are as welcoming to &lt;a href="http://forkpress.com"&gt;ForkPress&lt;/a&gt; as they might have been to poor, doomed Habari.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/asymptomatic/wp/~4/105731289" height="1" width="1"/&gt;";s:7:"pubdate";s:31:"Sun, 01 Apr 2007 05:30:18 +0000";s:2:"dc";a:1:{s:7:"creator";s:4:"owen";}s:7:"summary";s:2412:"&lt;p&gt;It's been since October with these Habari people, and I'm totally through.

<p>Since blog images are smaller than this, a 3 megapixel image is huge and unusual for publishing on the web. Most reduce the size, and along with it the file size, so this is not a hack for the average WordPress blogger.

<p>His hack involves changing the code inside of a WordPress core programming file, which is not recommended, but if this is an issue for you, and you remember to change this again when you upgrade, why not give it a try.</p>

<p><strong>Outbound Linking</strong></p>
<p>This article is going to briefly overview outbound linking and why it can be both good and bad.  Don&#8217;t fret though, the third and last part of this series will conclude with how to actually manufacturer links to your site &#8212; the first two parts are preliminary background articles for those that are new to the industry of link building.</p>
<p>Outbound linking is something some, even very good and amazing, SEOs overlook.  When a search engine looks at your site, it looks at what sites are linking to you.  But in that process of evaluating where to rank you, it also looks at what sites you are linking to.</p>
<p>To throw out an example, let&#8217;s use <a href="http://www.ginside.com">Google Inside</a>.  It&#8217;s a site that talks about Google and touches on search engine news and other industry related news.  Would it make sense if Google Inside was linking to maybe&#8230;a casino site?  What about a gardening site?  Or even a site that talks about skydiving?  Would that make sense to you as a user?  If it doesn&#8217;t make sense to you, then it certainly won&#8217;t make sense to the robots.  Related outbound linking &#8212; paid or unpaid &#8212; is very important.  I&#8217;ve learned this over time by testing out different links going to various websites.</p>
<p>So back to the example.  If Google Inside was linking to a site like <a href="http://searchenginewatch.com/">Search Engine Watch</a> or <a href="http://mattcutts.com/blog/">Matt Cutts&#8217; Blog</a>, those sites are a direct hit in relativity to Google Inside.  Same industry, same vertical, same topics.  A search engine will look at this and deem those links to be valuable both for the sites you are linking to and to your site because it helps position you in that specific industry or niche &#8212; wherever you may be.</p>

Mark Zuckerberg is of course the founder of <a href="http://facebook.com/">Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>Mitch&#8217;s presentation was one of my favorite of the day, and one of the thing he emphasized was that you should hire for diversity because diverse groups of people innovate more. Diversity here is defined as a function of experience, background, family status, as well as the traditional definitions like gender, et al. He says that one of the most common mistakes entrepreneurship makes is building &#8220;mirrortocracies&#8221; instead of meritocracies, meaning they tend to hire people like themselves rather than hiring the best people regardless of backgrounds, and the company suffers as a result.</p>
<p>Almost on cue, Mark started out by saying that the two most important things for a company is to have people who are &#8220;young and technical,&#8221; and his explanation of such was actually the entirety of his prepared remarks. (He arrived shortly before his presentation, so AFAIK hadn&#8217;t heard any of Mitch&#8217;s.) He made some fair arguments for biasing toward a technically inclined workforce, even in roles like marketing and support, however he didn&#8217;t really say anything compelling in support of youth, besides some vague references to many great creators and chessmasters being between 20 and 35 years old. But in no uncertain terms, he said they have a bias toward hiring young people at Facebook.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m inclined to agree more with Mitch. Biasing your decisions based on something completely out of someone&#8217;s control, specifically the year they were born, seems as likely to have correlation to talent and success in a company as gender, race, or anything else that everyone knows doesn&#8217;t matter. It&#8217;s not what you&#8217;re born with, it&#8217;s what you make of it.

<p>The first question we must ask is: <strong>Why do links coming to my site matter?</strong></p>
<p>The short version of it is that links pointing at your site do matter.  For Google, those links mean <a href="http://www.google.com/technology/">PageRank</a>.  For Yahoo! and MSN, they mean value and search placement.</p>
<p>PageRank is an extensive algorithm that calculates how your site (and pages) should be ranked in the search results.  The higher PageRank you have, more often than not, the higher your site will be in the results.  This is not always entirely true because of how the algorithm actually works, but that is the general idea behind it.</p>
<p><strong>But again, why do I care about this PageRank?</strong></p>
<p>You are reading this because you want to learn more about how to optimize your site for search engines.  That is exactly the purpose of Part 1 here.  Links pointing to your site or blog really do matter.  There are tons of firms out there that buy and sell text links as their actual business.  I am a huge supporter of <a href="http://www.text-link-ads.com">Text-Link-Ads.com</a> as they have been very supportive and responsive for everything I do with them.</p>
<p>So if I have a higher PageRank, lets say a PageRank 5 or 6, does that mean I will do better?</p>
<p>This starts to dig into the questions of &#8230; what niche are you in?  how much competition do you have? who is searching for your content?</p>
<p>You could have ten thousand links going to your site and still do very poorly in the search rankings purely because maybe you don&#8217;t have any competition or no one really cares about your industry.  To be successful in the search engines, you need to put yourself in the mind of a consumer.  What I am looking for?  What do I want to click on when I&#8217;m searching for something?</p>
<p>Being number one is not always the best, sometimes number two or number is better.  Why?  Again, put yourself in the shoes of a consumer.  Will you always click on the first hit or will you look down the page a little bit to see what else the search engine has to offer?</p>
<p>Here are some example searches to show you what I mean:</p>
<p>G: <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=search+engine&#038;btnG=Search">Search Engine</a><br />
Y!: <a href="http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=music+lyrics&#038;fr=yfp-t-501&#038;toggle=1&#038;cop=mss&#038;ei=UTF-8">Music Lyrics</a><br />
MSN: <a href="http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=google+inside&#038;FORM=MSNH">Google Inside</a></p>
<p>Depending on which search engine you use, you will always get different results, but the visitor will vary on which link they click on.  The first, the second, maybe the third, maybe the tenth even.  It varies a lot, but that is a little bit on search placement.  For my site, I don&#8217;t want to <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#038;q=google+inside&#038;btnG=Google+Search">rank number one for any given search</a> because I feel I am <a href="http://www.ginside.com">more likely to get traffic</a> if I&#8217;m number 4 or 5.</p>
