Why do these spammers even bother?

Theyr’e many types of comment spam. Some spam comments are really sophisticated, and are designed to get people to click on a simple link, or even on the author’s link. Some of them are to promote questionable sites (no respectable site would use these tactics) and sell questionable products. Some are designed to spread viruses. [...]

Alternative Website Marketing

Saw this in school the other day on two of the desks. The “link” is to jacobss.co.il.

LogoEase – A real free logo maker

As someone that has more ideas than he can handle, I often find myself building a site overnight with a $0 budget. Well, really a $7 budget cause you need a domain. 1 thing that disturbed me is that you can’t even begin to look semi professional if you don’t have a logo. In the [...]

WP Photo Album Finally Works Properly

…Or at least it should. Since I released the new version of WPPA a few months back, I’ve been practically too busy to breath. The Problems: 1. Install Sine the beginning there have been problems installing this plugin on certain server setups, and since WordPress 2.5, it stopped working. This is now fixed. A huge [...]

Why I didn’t update WPPA for WordPress 2.5

Some history first: For a few years now, I’ve been interested in photo publishing solutions for the web. Way back, when I still ran a static site, I was working on a desktop application for Mac OS X that would publish photo albums. I created it using AppleScript Studio, and it was called WebPhoto.

Why are you still using Internet Explorer?

Yes, You! Yesterday I noticed that 41.7% of you are still using Internet Explorer. And this is a blog written by a Mac fanatic, and which most probably cannot be understood by the common non techie english speaker. So you don’t have excuses like “that’s what my computer came with and installing software is too [...]

SuperCook.com and the pace of web 2.0.1b

Only 5 days ago, I purchased ResourcefulCooking.com. The plan was as follows: Create a search engine, that indexes the top recipe sites, and is searchable by ingredient. As a chef-wannabe, but also an empty fridge cook, the idea was natural. What better way to find out what to do with 2 onions, a carrot and [...]

Brandable domains vs. keyword-rich domains

ProBlogger posted a question: When choosing domain names do you get a keyword rich or more brandable name? Basically, the days you can have a domain which is both nice and also actually has the a keyword or two in it are long gone. But look at the real world: most brands, branded for people, [...]

Do social networks have to be viral?

Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of Facebook. But the fact is that in most scenarios, I cant read certain info without adding an application, and I can’t add an application without inviting friends, and I can’t accept an invitation to add an application without adding icons and banners to my already cluttered [...]

Prologue – Group notification WP Theme

While not the biggest believer in the traditional form of microblogging, such as twitter, (Face it, nobody really cares what you’re doing) I think that the format is excellent for group communication. That’s exactly what Prologue is. While not exactly a blog theme, Prologue stretches WordPress into the right mold in a way only WordPress [...]

Microsoft has warned corporate administrators that it will push a new version of Internet Explorer 7 their way next month, and it has posted guidelines on how to ward off the automatic update if admins want to keep the older IE6 browser on their companies’ machines. Read More. While IE7 is still far from being [...]

Web development cheat sheets

I’m working on a project that needs some custom development, and one thing that was important to the client is that the site has nice and SE friendly urls. This being my first time actually manually writing a .htaccess file, I searched around and found a cool mod_rewrite cheat sheet on I Love Jack Daniels. [...]
