SitePoint - The SEO Business Guide

Submitted by jbellendir on Sat, 05/05/2012 - 01:03

I have been a long time fan of SitePoint.com for their fantastic web design and CSS articles. I found myself, more often than not, being directed to Sitepoint.com through my Google results when searching for answers on CSS and web design problems.

I came across this ebook series, that SitePoint has created, called The SEO Business Guide. A friend of mine had recommended it to me so I checked it out. You can even get a few chapters of the book for free. From what I read it was a worth while read. SEO is very important to any web designer these days, if you want a good starting point, have a look at SitePoints SEO guide book.

Backing up your Iphone App saved game/app data

Submitted by jbellendir on Sat, 12/31/2011 - 01:08

If you have multiple iOS devices, you may run into a problem of transferring apps to other devices and keeping the saved data in that game or application. A good example of this is a app called My Japanese Coach which I use from time to time. Well, I sure as heck don't want to have to go from lesson 1 all the way through lesson X to get back to where I left off. If you redownload this app from the app store you will be left with a blank slate and will have to start the game over from the beginning. Luckily there is a way to avoid this. You will want to download a software called iExplorer.

Preparing a Ubuntu (or other distro) Web Server for Drupal

Submitted by jbellendir on Mon, 11/14/2011 - 18:10

So I recently created a VMware application with Ubuntu to test some of my Drupal sites offline. You can easily install Ubuntu by downloading one of their Images, I recommend 8.04.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) as it comes with Php 5.2. Anything after Hardy Heron comes with PHP 5.3 which causes issues with Drupal 6. If you are using Drupal 7 or newer, than it probably wont matter. But as most of us our probably on Drupal 6, I thought I would mention this.

So just download the server version and run through the installation. It's pretty straitforward and at one point it will ask if you want to install optional services. Install the LAMP, OpenSSH, and anything else you will want. Now you should have a running server with a basic LAMP install running. You will want to edit a few things so that it plays nicely with Drupal.

Drupal uses a bit of memory, so let's increase this first. Edit your php.ini and my.cnf files.

# nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf

Search for max_allowed_packet, there will be two occurrences, increase the limit to whatever you see fit, I push mine to 128M.

# nano /etc/php5/apache2/php.ini Read more »
