Don’t Think “If” You Will Get Hacked, Or Even “When” – Think In Terms Of “How Often”
Posted at 11:21 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, nerdiness, Wordpress
The following “guest post” was a comment left on “How To Completely Clean Your WordPress Installation” by a gentleman named Daniel J. Dick. He makes some excellent points, and due to it’s length I decided to feature the comment in it’s own post, rather than approve it in place. Enjoy. I think Nick sums up [...]

Posted at 3:19 pm | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, lackofmeds, Social Media, Wordpress
Last year I wrote this handy little script named EasyWP. It makes installing WordPress much easier for those without Fantastico or shell access, and is many times faster than having to upload all of the files individually. It’s very useful, especially if you install WordPress on a regular basis, or if you need to do [...]

Posted at 11:14 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Cuttisms, Google, lackofmeds, On The Ball-ness, SEO
Last month I blogged about the fact that I had noticed that Google was playing around with delivering the SERP’s via AJAX. I pointed out that due to the way that referrers work, using AJAX to generate the pages would cause all traffic coming from Google to look like it was coming from Google’s homepage [...]

What Will *Really* Break If Google Switches To AJAX…?
Posted at 11:26 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Google, lackofmeds, SEO, web design
On Friday I wrote a piece on how it looked like Google was testing AJAX results in the main serps. Some discussion followed as to whether, if this change were to become a widespread permanent one, this would affect Firefox plugins that existed (definitely some existing ones would stop working), break some of the rank [...]

Google Web Search Goes Completely AJAX
Posted at 10:28 am | Filed Under coding, Google, nerdiness, SEO, web design
Yes, I know… Google has been offering AJAX driven results through the API and other services for ages, but now they have rolled that out to the main Google Search. It appears to be only on Google US (I tried manually switching to Google UK, and it redirected me from the AjAX version to a [...]

Google Tries Too Hard To Appear Useful, Starts Making Up New Words
Posted at 12:16 am | Filed Under coding, Google, lackofmeds, nerdiness, SEO
The Google Search feature that Google calls “Spell Checker” can be very handy at times. You know the one I mean… you type something hastily in the box, manage to inadvertently slip in a typo or two, and Google, very helpfully, asks you “Did you mean: {some other word}”. Aside from putting a dent in [...]

Posted at 1:13 am | Filed Under blogthropology, coding, Google, SEO
Last year I performed a couple of tests on what happens if you have multiple links pointing to the same page all from the same source page. Today a reader left a comment from one of the follow-up posts, which had to do with answering the question of what happens if the first link is [...]
