If you have a crappy website design or are thinking about starting a website or blog, take some lessons from this web design "consultant." He lays out the instructions on a hip hop beat. This info is very important so search engines can find your website, and bring visitors.
This Web Design 101 lesson is by The Poetic Prophet (AKA The SEO Rapper). This consultation is free...lol. He has more rap videos related to websites. Nice video in a nerdy gangsta sorta way. WATCH VIDEO
Afterthought: Wondering if this was used as a Biggie biopic audition tape.
Do you have a child support story that needs to be told? Mother or Father--Need to put a deadbeat on notice? Want to help in getting some new child support legislation? Child Support Tv is a site I heard about on The Warren Ballentine Show yesterday. He had a congressman on there and they were discussing child support legislation.
I think Warren is behind this site or at least supports it, but they are looking to have 1 Million stories told. Therefore, you can make a video of your story and upload it to the site. You know. Like YouTube, only difference is, this isn't for fun.
Here is a random video from the site. Nice story to send to a deadbeat parent, whether that person is a man OR woman.

Thanks to MyUrbanReport.com for posting on this. Somehow, I overlooked it in The New York Times, but the new online magazine is called the ROOT and Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr is the magazine's editor. The magazine's target audience is black, and will feature commentary on politics, news, culture and tools to research family history.
According to the NY Times, the site is viewed as a "high brow" alternative to sites such as Ebony, BlackAmericaWeb.com, and BlackVoices.com. These sites have high entertainment, lifestyle, and consumption content; however, the Root will distinguish itself by putting more emphasis on genealogy. I hope it has more success than Africana.com, which quietly disappeared and now has its traffic re-directed to BlackVoices.com.
