In a way, web design used to be more fun than it is now. That’s not to say that we don’t love what we do, just that even a few years ago, it could make your day to see the look on a new client’s face when you unveiled the new layout. Often, they had no idea what was even possible before you showed it to them, and so the unveiling of a gorgeous layout left them almost literally speechless.
Times have changed, however. (more…)
Last week a client of ours pointed out an issue he was having with the use of the <embed> tag and the <iframe> so after some investigating I found that this is a common issue with Joomla, I should also mention that we use JCE editor with our set up of Joomla so to fix this issue we need to take care of the Joomla settings and the JCE settings.
One of the things I have been working on recently was a search engine script for one of our clients.
Originally I figured that I would easily find a script that would do exactly what I wanted, though I did find many amazing and powerful scripts I was restricted by the fact that this particular project did not have a database to work with and setting up a database for searching through such a small project was just not necessary. So instead I found a much weaker script which searched a single directory for file names matching the search query, this was useful because from there I was able to expand its capability.
I just got banned from Google on my home pc.
Now that’s frustrating. I use Firefox and the SEO Toolbar to check out the statistics of websites that I visit. I never thought that it would get me banned from Google but at this very moment of writing this post I cannot search Google.
Ever see one of these funny characters � or (4-digits in a box) .
The black question mark appears when the value for a special character doesn’t match a character in the character set used for displaying the text. I found this happened when working with text data that was encoded in ISO-8859-1 and displayed in UTF-8. This is a correct problem as character sets need to be converted before you can display them.
I was trying out the new Wordpress 3.0 menu system and my first thought was that it was missing a way to do a drop down menu… I was wrong!
