Posted in JURN tips and tricks
Why you should keep the new Facebook paste-ins off your blog — they make the page clunky when loading, jar with your layout/colour-scheme, distend your sidebar, and sometimes even obscure your content…
For those who want an immediate “nuke from orbit” solution, the Remove Facebook script for Firefox/Greasemonkey works a treat at removing this sort of cruft from all the pages you encounter on the web.

I’m pleased to say that JURN has now broken the barrier of 4,000 titles indexed (English or partly-English), ten days ahead of the second anniversary of the public beta launch. And your search results should now be humming along nicely, following the major triangulated link-checking process I undertook a few weeks ago. Enjoy.
