- Webpage Word Count
A client wanted me to add EVEN MORE content to their homepage; just a couple of paragraphs but nonetheless adding to the number of words on their important front page. You see, they always ADD articles but do not have the good housekeeping habit of removing the OLD ones, so their page just grows and grows. As [...] - Optimising CSS #1
Optimising files for size can seem a bit stupid to some people. So what if I reduce a 6k file down to 5k, that’s only 1k! Well fine, but if it’s a popular file, say a server side include, you could have millions of hits a day; not only does every k on every file save [...] - FireFox RC3
Firefox 2.0 RC 3 (Release Candidate 3) came out today. - Link Dump
Need a link dump? Need to grab a list of all those links on that webpage? Well, this was another need for a time-saving tool or method stemming from building a CMS… I needed a list of links from my old legacy site so that I could list them in the .htaccess file, along with the [...] - Firefox 2RC2

Well yeah, I found that out too… The solution? Run your page back through the HTML tidy but wrap [...] - Joomla 1.5 Beta
A little bird tells me that Joomla 1.5 sees it’s Beta release on the 12th October… now that’s not a fully-fledged release for use on your commercial, live website, but that is a step in the right direction for the next generation of this quite incredible Open Source Content Management System. Although I’m totally engrossed in [...] - Firefox 2RC1
Firefox 2.0 RC 1 (Release Candidate 1) is out now! - HTML Tidy +
With all the UTF-8 output of the previous HTML Tidy I was using from Site Valet, as mentioned in my post from a week ago, I decided, with a HUGE 68-page article to be readied for use in my CMS, that I didn’t fancy de-bugging THAT many pages……so I went in search of something [...]
