Adding a Carousel Image Viewer to BossAutos.com

Clayton approached me about modifying the BossAutos.com template to somehow incorporate links to all the different automobiles he has in inventory and those that he has brokered for his customers in the past. This turned out to be a snap using Bill W Scott’s Carousel JavaScript package.

The carousel component manages a list of content (HTML LI elements within a UL) that can be displayed horizontally or vertically. The content can be scrolled back and forth with or without animation. The content can reference static HTML content or the list items can be created dynamically on-the-fly (with or without Ajax).

The script was easy to use and is very flexible with it’s numerous configuration options.

TjRubley.com Has a Record Month

TjRubley.com is my personal project where I blog modern-classic sportscar classifieds. It’s a fun side project for me and I’ve used it as a test bed for many SEO techniques to see how popular I could make the site.

March was my best month ever, nearly cracking 10,000 unique hits in a month without any paid placement or banner advertising to drive traffic. Almost 99% of that traffic is a result of organic search results.
