And the best shared hosting comany is…
It’s not pretty when you’re hosting company fails to deliver. It’s even less pretty when your server goes down unexpectedly. Kaushal Sheth had this problem. One day out of the blue, he (and I’m only assuming “he” here.) simply didn’t have any web sites. It’s happened to most of us. Heck, [...]
A few pet peeves with WordPress 2.5
Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions and that the behavior I’m experiencing may be due to my server configuration, but there are a few things about the new WordPress Admin panel that just really annoy me.
I don’t mind fixed width layouts but please, if you’re going to use fixed widths, center [...]
Protecting or regaining your Google PageRank with meta tags
If you are a blogger that accepts paid posts or paid reviews, you have either experienced or will experienced Google’s policy of wiping your PageRank to zero. I have seen several methods posted on other blogs for counteracting this issue. The most notable of these methods has been to cave completely to Google and [...]
Does a loss of pagerank really affect your traffic?
Google’s PageRank smackdown has left a lot of bloggers bemoaning the loss of traffic and prestige their blogs recieve, but does having your Google PR wiped out or lowered really affect how many visitors you will get on a daily basis?
From my experience, the answer is a resounding “NO”.
The first of my blogs to get [...]
Andy Beard may just have the answer to Paid advertising and Page Rank
I think Andy Beard may just be a genius. At the very least he’s got a very analytical mind and he’s put it to use in the ongoing situation of Google Page Rank Slapping. Andy came up with a method to block Paid Reviews from Google’s Spiders using Robots.txt, and now he’s filed [...]
Gearing up for another go at WordPress MU
I’m working out the details of a project I’ve had planned for a very long time. This project will be using WordPress MU as the back end system, and I’m looking over requirements as I write this.
Out of the box, WordPress MU is a splogger’s paradise. The system does not allow the administrator to [...]
Let’s look at that editor again…
We’ve seen that <embed> works, now let’s check a few other tags, and I’ll tell you why I think this is a great thing…
Let’s try inserting a <div> with a text-align center attribute and a background color:
Should be centered
So far so good! In older versions of TinyMCE, if you added a <div> tag, it was [...]
Wow those WP coders are fast!
It was just 2 days ago that I reported on the latest version of WordPress in-testing, and that there were issues with more than a few things. In those two days most of those issues have been addressed. While there are still more issues for the team to worry about, they’re getting worked out at [...]
My first thoughts on WordPress 2.5
You can’t tell from looking at it, but this blog is running the latest and greatest version of WordPress. As a matter of fact, SpunPuppy has run a testing version of WordPress since it went live. It was only today I remembered that I hadn’t updated the test code for a while, so I ran [...]
In response to Mr. Spirko
O.K. I gave my opinion on the topic of Izea and Google. In doing so I leveled some criticism at Jack Spirko of Comtechnews regarding this post.
There was a bit of confusion in the process, as my spam filters ate Jack’s response without giving me the opportunity to moderate it. Jack was understandably upset over [...]
