If you are hanging out at Utterz and haven’t had a chance to see the new front page that greets people before they login and logout, Then check it out. Unless you change connections with your wireless often, you might stay logged in most the time and never be aware of the changes.
reminds me of that car commercial from a couple years ago, where the
car cover is painted like a clunker and then the owner removes the cover to reveal a fancy sports car or something. That’s kind of what Utterz just did, they removed the cover to reveal a slick new home page.
I just happened to come in to Utterz today from a different ISP. I had to log in and noticed this great new front page.
The design and layout of the front page looks very much improved!

I routinely run into questions about setting up 301 Redirects in situations that I have not encountered yet. When I run into these new challenges, I do a quick Google search and never find the same answer twice about 301 Redirects.
That said, today I had a quick refresher question about the SEO benefits of 301 redirects relating to pushing a www site to a non-www site (Canonical Situations).
I came across this excellent article at SEO-Consultant-Services.co.uk which answered the questions I was looking for and it also answered the typical questions that most people ask when they are looking for 301 redirect solutions. I have come across a number of similar articles on 301 Redirects in the past, but this one was easy to understand, easy to implement, and very comprehensive in covering all of those 301 Redirect tangents that will eventually confront a web site owner.

I have no relationship to this site, they do not sponsor me in any way, but I would highly recommend web site owners to bookmark this link. You are going to need it someday, and Google as good as they are sometimes, rarely returns a reliable result on 301 redirects!
Note, the CSS was a little hosed up on this site when I visited. I’d guess that they updated the theme and did not check this older article on the new theme. Regardless the content is good. I prefer things to look good, but I’ll take great content any day.

Notice the little item above after the word ‘Replies’ that reads ‘mp3′. If you click on that link it will play the mp3 file or you can right click and save link as or save target as to save the mp3 file down to a local hard drive connected to your machine.
Be careful with this ability as you are downloading digital material and depending on the ownership rights that can get you in trouble if abused and possibly enabled an RIAA Lawyer to spend some extra time taking Orlando vacations with his kids while your grandma fights off the music industry in court.

Today, it is pretty much possible to download mp3 files from Utterz in several different forms. You can get at and download the mp3 files (or video for that matter) from the feed here at Utterz.
Or if you post something to a blog site or find an utterz posted in a blogsite, you can download the mp3 file from that blog.
(see the image above from my site at Something About Harry
There is a little link for MP3 included as a standard item from utterz that is created in the post. Just right click and save link as and you will be downloading.
I’ve covered this a bit more thoroughly at Utterz in a video tutorial (before the addition of the mp3 link in blog cross posts) I can’t find it here at Utterz any longer, but it is available still at my blog at
