Tonight I made a couple of small additions to the RandomTweets, RandomJaikus, RandomPownce and RandomFlickr sites. Most of the changes revolve around usability and SEO.
The first change that I made was to break up the listings in the archives modal popup by adding a Month/Year heading to separate the months. This made it a little easier to review the list of archives. They weren't too bad yet since there was only a couple months worth of archives, but I imagine that list would have been a pain to browse in a couple of months. My next step will be to add some kind of hiding/display navigation to the archive list, probably in the form of a tree view or something similar.
I also changed the formatting of the dates in the headlines of the pages from "Random Tweets for 12/17/2007" to "Random Tweets for Tuesday, December 17, 2007". That should please my friends from the UK and Europe who for some reason represent their dates in short form a little differently than we do :)
For SEO purposes, so that the Meta description tag is not the same on every page, I added the date. I don't know that duplicate meta description tags were really hurting the sites SEO-wise, but Google Webmaster tools told me it was a "problem" with the sites.
Finally, I did add a Google Adsense banner to the bottom of the pages. Hopefully it is out of the way as much as possible, but I gotta pay the bills somehow!
