To Scroll or Not to Scroll… THAT is the Question! I’ve talked to a lot of clients and the majority of them always want a short home page. We’ve made websites this way for years. There have been a few that have gone the other way and instead had longer home pages and I’ve learned…
When setting up your domain name and website, one error I see a lot is that both the “www” and the non-www version of the domain works to get to the same website. This isn’t optimal and it’ll put you behind in rankings potentially. Some Technical Stuff to Go Over Of course, both versions of…
I have a number of WordPress websites and ran into a problem at Hostgator since I have a website with a large amount of posts. Here’s what they sent me, which is interesting (I had to fix a little bit of their English, of course): As MySQL will begin to see performance problems when working…

I help run a few web servers and one thing that bugs me is when you end up with all these Thumbs.db files hanging out. They’re harmless, of course, and they don’t take up much space (space is very cheap now a days) but still, let’s not load up sites with junk files please. So…
I’m happy to say that after a lot of research, trial and error, and pulling out of my hair, I found some good mod_rewrite (.htaccess) examples that work well. I created this page so I can refer to them when I need them, so I’m using them myself and this page is updated from time…
So, you’re “admin” and you forgot your password. Yeah, we’ve all been there. 1. Fire up PHPMyAdmin or get into your db somehow. 2. Go into the _users table. This is usually mos_users, but there’s the option to make your own prefix on the db tables, so you may have changed it. 3. Look at…
