Bad Apple Season in Saranac Lake
September 19th, 2008 · 6 Comments · Destination Marketing
It’s apple season in the North Country. Did you know that I live in the McIntosh Apple Capital? Well, it’s true, I’m surrounded by apples. At this time of year, cider and donuts RULE.
Funny thing though, I’ve always had this silly song in my head every time bunches of apples are mentioned. I always thought that this was just a way to get a girl on the rebound.
One bad apple don’t spoil the whole bunch girl.
Oh, I don’t care what they say
I don’t care what you heard.

- Why announce if you’re not ready? The default Meta and Blogroll items on the sidebar? Gone.
- The About page. Gads, just delete it or hide it. Deleted.
This is an example of a WordPress page, you could edit this to put information about yourself or your site so readers know where you are coming from. You can create as many pages like this one or sub-pages as you like and manage all of your content inside of WordPress.
- Something about that “Search” bar continues to scream Splog!
- Pretty Permalinks please.
- 2.3.3 lacks tagging.
- Question: Who’s doing this? In-house? Agency? The photographer guy?
- Somebody probably told them that they were overloading the meta tags before, now there are none.
- Whoever cares about SEO should call me.
