It’s Friday again, so before I get a free lunch, you get a few free links.

Matt from over at e-Moxie was kind enough to invite me to speak at his Web Design & Development Meetup on Monday October 27th about SEO and Web Design. I’ll be touching on some topics like the web standards – seo connection and why to start your project out on the right foot.

The Meetup starts around 6:30 with pizza and beer/soda. Hope to see you all there.

Reggae on the office speakers? Rock Band at closing time? It must be Friday! Which means this must be a Free Link Friday blog post. Let’s get started.

This week’s Free Link Friday comes amidst a rather tumultuous time in our country. The stock market is hurting, we’ve all got a very important decision to make on Nov 4th (register to vote!), and we’re all faced with a good bit of uncertainty. Worry Not! FLF is here! Read on for some soothing underlined blue text.

Last week we introduced Free Link Friday, our weekly look at some of the most interesting links in the field.  This week, we’re gonna do it again, but it’ll look a lot prettier thanks to our brand spanking new site design.  For more info on the site launch, read Rob Spangler’s featured post.  For FLF, read on.

We’re very excited to announce the launch of the new GrooveCommerce.com! As you may know we’re a fairly young company (est. May 2007). In the past year and a half we’ve grown a lot and we definitely needed our website to represent that growth.

Introducing a brand new feature to the Groove eCommerce Blog: Free Link Friday! Free Link Friday is named after one of the best employee perks of Groove Commerce, Free Lunch Friday. FLF will be a weekly installment of some of the most important and thought provoking links from around the web in the field of SEO/SEM (and maybe a few wildcards!) Read on for the inaugural edition.
