Dragtimes.com is an automotive drag racing resource that maintains a database consisting of over 9,300 1/4 mile drag racing timeslips for fast cars and fast motorcycles. A horsepower calculator is offered to provide horsepower estimates that are calculated from the car’s trap speed, 1/4 mile ET and weight in pounds. Many records also contain dyno graphs that show horsepower and torque numbers for many of the fast cars as well as all performance related modifications to the vehicle.

Every month one of the drag racing submissions is featured on the main page of DragTimes.com as an outcome of users voting for their preferred fast cars. There are pictures, quarter mile times and drag racing videos for many of the submissions that can be searched through by car make and model. Since all records are reviewed to uphold the website’s integrity, DragTimes.com serves as a superb resource to research what other fast cars are running around corner or across the world.

Breckenridge Colorado

Personally I'm a warm beach and sunshine type of girl, the thought of snow and all that winter has to offer just motivates me to throw another log on the fire and snuggle up to a good book and a cup of tea but I wavered a little tonight when I saw the beautiful pictures of Breckenridge Colorado.

I was introduced to the Keystone Real Estate site as a sample of a really nicely done web site but once I was there, I couldn't help wandering around and looking at the sights.

Reading about the mountains and the views, I was almost ready to give up my bikini for skis and slopes, but then I remembered that I can't ski. But I'm sure they have fire places and tea in Breckenridge.

It's a nicely done website. I'm always partial to black backgrounds - very dramatic and makes the photographs on the site pop with the contrast so If you're looking for a good nice example of a site with a touch of drama and elegance, check out http://www.luckymountainhome.com/

Lipo 6 Review

Diet. Weight loss. Uggg.

If you've ever attempted to find information on a diet pill or product by searching the web then you know how many advertisements you need to filter through before you find something that's objective.

I when I searched for a lipo 6 review I was happy to find http://www.viruz.com/my-second-lipo-6-review/. The author is a real person that is using the product and is giving an objective review with both pros and cons on lipo 6.

I still haven't decided if it's the right product for me but since the review was so well written I thought it deserved a mention.

Feedsforme.com - RSS Feed Search Engine

As a webmaster, I am always on the lookout for good webmaster tools and SEO tools. I happened across a site today that does double duty.

The site is www.feedsforme.com . Feedsforme is a small specialty RSS search engine that fetches and aggregates RSS results. This is helpful for webmasters that are looking for RSS feeds for their reader and/or their website.

It’s becoming increasingly important in SEO (search engine optimization) to provide fresh content on your site and one way that webmasters are achieving this is to use rss feeds. Real simple syndication (RSS) is a easy way to distribute content via the Internet. RSS delivers its information as an XML file called an "RSS feed", "webfeed", "RSS stream", or "RSS channel". While initially used for email newsletters, an option that is becoming very popular is for websites and blogs to use rss feeds to add fresh and relevant content to their sites. Feedsforme.com Allows webmasters to find relevant rss feeds which they can then insert into their websites. Translation… free content.

When you visit feedsforme.com you’ll find an uncomplicated page with a search box and a list of tagged feed topics. From there you can either click on one of the tags such as entertainment or blogs and you’ll be brought to a page with a list of rss feeds on that topic. Click on something that strikes your interest and you’ll see the content and be provided with a link to the feed that you can use on your site.

Alternately, you can search the site for the specific topic you’re looking for and in a matter of seconds you’ll be presented with a page of feeds to suit your needs.

I have been using rss feeds on my websites for quite a while now. There are several ways to get the feeds on your site. The SEO friendly methods, and the non SEO friendly method.

If you use javascript to insert the feed it will not be read by the search engines and you don’t benefit from the fresh content the feed provides. However, it may attract visitors who will return to your site because of the content.

If you're not interested in using JavaScript, there are many other tools out there to add RSS feeds to your site. There are tools for Perl or PHP, MovableType, C, Python, Perl, XSLT, and XML.

My favorite method of inserting a rss feed into a web page is a php script. You can search for “rss tools” or “rss to html” and find one that works for you, there are both free and paid services for rss conversion.

So check out feedsforme.com and bookmark it while you’re there. Finding relevant content for your website has never been so easy.
