Launched a new site today for little light photography. Built in XHTML and CSS with a hint of PHP. Site includes rotating images on the front page, clean simple layout, easy navigation and appealing color theme.
So I was signing up for a Twitter account today and noticed something. After choosing a username and password, I was taken to an invitation page. If you look at this picture it clearly states that my password will be submitted securely.
How? I noticed in my URL bar there was no https in front of twitter.com, so I pulled up the source code to see if was being passed to an encrypted form. The form url was:
<form action=“/invitations/fetch_contacts” method=“post”>
Can anyone explain how twitter is securely handling my email password if it is being submitted without (or to) a secure https connection?
Noupe.com has featured over 40+ icon sets on their blog. From desktop icons to web site icons, all of these came from deviantART. Also, if you scroll through the comments you can find links to many other web sites with icon sets.
Bleed refers to an image or a background color extending off the page. This will be trimmed or cut away and will leave an image flowing off the page. Printing with bleed usually incurs a higher cost, because of the extra step to trim it. Printers will let you know how much bleed to use when setting up your design.
This quick post explains how to redirect users to different pages on your website and in theory, not harm your Google Page Rank. Basically using the 301 error code tells a search engine or browser that the file was once there, and it has permanently moved.
Error 3o1: Permanently Moved should not be confused with the more frequently seen Error 404: Page Not Found. This error code is generally used to indicate that content does not exist anymore. Error 404’s will eventually filter out of search engines over time.
Note: It is assumed you have a general understanding of how to make/edit a .htaccess file.
To relocate one page use this snippet:
Redirect 301 /oldpage.php http://www.yoursite.com/newpage.php
You can add as many of these lines to your .htaccess file as needed. However, if you would rather just move all 301 errors to your main page (or any page for that matter), use this snippet of code:
Redirect 301 / http://www.yoursite.com
There are many other ways to handle a redirect, but this way I find is the easiest and requires the least amount of coding.

I manually back up my data monthly, but recently my webhost lost all their servers. How does one recover from such a tragedy? Painstakingly slow, that’s how. I have 4 of 5 sites back online, but was unable to recover the latest design of my portfolio site. Uploading backups take along time, and they may not be the most current data.
I for one have learned a valuable lesson, and others should back up sites frequently (especially if you made them for someone else), and never rely on a webhost as a safety net.
I get about 5-10 hits per day from a robot named
InternetSeer
with ip address: 65.36.241.79 and user agent: InternetSeer.com
This robot monitors the uptime of your website and emails you if it is down or slow. But how did it get my email? Internetseer like many other web monitoring sites receive their sites through third party sites.
I am sure they started monitoring when I signed up my site at a submit your site to 100 search engines site.
Regardless, this robot does not harm your site and removing it may cause an annoying abundance of emails telling you they cannot access your site. I tried blocking the ip address once and it came back 1 month later with a new ip address.
You can usually contact internetseer.com or any other web monitoring site and they will tell you how they obtained your site and how to unsubscribe.
I receive numerous hits by a robot that only identifies itself as
www.nachofoto.com
with ip address: 216.218.135.114
As far as I can tell this website just harvests images providing no benefit to your website or blog. Plus the robot does not have a user agent.
I blocked this ip address from accessing my site and you should do the same.
