After my vacation in Puerto Vallarta I have been finding few things really comment worthy until today. Frankly I have been busy dealing with tax preparation, switching to 100% self employment, and holiday chaos.
As I thought to myself today, I really should post some blogs I saw thatYahoo! wants me to join them in an unholy link scheme. [maniacal purple laughter] . Yahoo! has put out a plugin for WordPress that auto scans and links to Yahoo! Search results, including images (from Flickr) and maps. As evidenced by that very specific Yahoo! Map you get by mousing over locations.
The big purple is making an interesting play for traffic, I like the image inclusion function through Flickr. I do no, however like the restrictions that it is placing on what can be used as a shortcuts.

Unfortunately the Flicker drawn image (the squid) does not play nicely with my lists. Oh well, I’ll just hack a bit to make it pretty later. Congratulations Yahoo! for taking advantage of blogger lazyness and your image resources. Also the searches seem to contain an error that forces me to get rid of a warning box before accessing the results. I will try this out for a bit an see if it makes my life easier or more difficult.
