One recent suggestion as part of our link building for our corporate sites was to use Wikipedia - obviously this would seem a good thing to increase inbound links etc as well as helping to boost rank in search engines, but it turns out that from yesterday Wikipedia has now added the nofollow attribute to any outbound links from the site - just so you know!

It’s not a case of wanting a Wii - it’s now a case of needing a Wii! Not that I stand any hope in hell of getting one - there’s still no stock news here in the UK and most reports claim that the Wii is more popular now than it was before launch!!!
Anyway - it’s scientificly proved that playing Wii is good for you, check out this report here - the guy lost 9lbs over the holiday period playing Wii! Who says exercise can’t be fun?
A collegue of mine was making his first exploits with Spry and ran into an interesting problem. Given an XML packet like;
Using tools like Cooktop xpath searches like //bar and //bar[@parentid=1] returns exactly what you’d expect but no matter what we tried we couldn’t get this to work as part of a Spry xpath statement.
I asked Ray if he may know - we knew the xpath syntax was right but Spry wasn’t play nice. He promptly went off and a few hours later sent me a link to Spry Tester - what a guy! Later on I caught up with Sean and he offered the exact same xpath syntax so I knew we must be on the right path…to cut a long story short we’d posted to the Spry Forums and Kin from Adobe responded that the google xpath library that Spry uses doesn’t like the word ‘parent’ in it. Playing around it also seems like it doesn’t like the word ‘child’ either - so just be careful how you name your xml nodes/attributes and subsequently search your xml with xpath if you’re using Spry!
