Social bookmarking websites are great. They help you spread the word of your blog, website or article and you can discover new ones. Personally, I like StumbleUpon the best. I like to stumble over the net, giving away many "Thumb up".

However, there are always websites that I come across when stumbling, that I just have to give a "thumbs down", or just directly navigate away from. Why? I have 12 reasons why I hit the "Show next page" button directly.

Leaving out the 404 error pages and servers being down, here are the reasons I press the "Show next page" button in random order. Remember these tips and don't make these mistakes on your own website. These tips are not only for users from StumbleUpon, but for all websites.

I started this blog in June of this year with the article about how to create a custom page title in Joomla! 1.0.x. After a couple of articles, I took a brake while on vacation. But when I returned, I started writing articles in August again.

This blog now has almost 100 articles, around 400 feed subscribers and over 1000 comments. I think this is pretty good for someone that hasn't had a blog before, didn't know anything about SEO or Social Bookmarking. I just wanted to share my knowledge, fun and interesting things with the world.

I created an alphabetic list of my own favorite articles from 2007. I'm checking these articles often because of the interesting resources or just for fun. Which article of mine did you like the most or through which article did you get here? Of course you can expect more high-quality, interesting and fun articles from me in 2008! You can view all articles I've written on the sitemap.

Have a happy, safe and nice new year's eve.

Do you also hate ad-/spyware/popups? I guess most people will answer that question with a "Yes". There is many (free) software on the market that will get rid of any of this (Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware etc.). The Firefox plug-in AdBlock does help a lot too.

But what if you don't want to install any software or have Firefox? Here's a small trick that will help you to block any ad-/spyware/popups without installing software.

This trick will work in Windows XP, I don't know if it works on Windows Vista.
