 | If you hadn't said anything, I would have assumed an ice-free driveway meant one of those heated driveways that melts the ice and snow so you don't have to shovel your car out. But that's the New Yorker in me!  |
 | > Is there a better way to python-encode data that's consistently reversible using mysql for processing? I suppose the first question I would ask is *why* does the data need to be encoded in MySQL? What is the objective for it to be encoded? I suspect it's not security, since … |
 | I say 2024 is going to be the year of even more AI. Happy new year!!  |
 | > A new Daniweb home/top page. Link me to content you wish was on the homepage for you but isn't. I guess I'm just of the belief the reason there isn't a lot of quality content presented on the homepage is because there just isn't a lot of quality content … |
| | > What is a good way to make sure all the pages are in Google? Create a sitemap XML file that lists all of the pages you want indexed in Google. Use noindex meta tags for thin content (navigational pages, login pages, etc.) that wouldn't be a great experience for …  |
| | My guess would be Instagram. |
| | I can look into this tomorrow if you still need help. Sorry, I’ve been feeling sickly yesterday and today.  |
| | For the past ten years or so, I've had a lot of pain in my fingers, hands, and arms, and I've just chalked it up to carpel tunnel, or sitting at the computer too long, etc. I tend to browse with my hand firmly planted over my mouse, until I … |
| | Re: Cloud based HRMS It looks like your platform, which I assume you work for the company, is just for India. The OP lives in the US. Since you’re in the industry, can you make any recommendations for US-based payroll software? Back when I had employees, I just used Paychex. Not sure if they … |

| | Sorry, I don’t understand your question. SEO is used to increase your organic ranking in Google and other search engines. |
 | Your .htaccess file would look something like: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)-([a-z]+)$ news.php?slug=$1-$2-$3 [L] This is untested, but it should work. |
| | I don't understand what Alicia means by unique characters? What makes those characters unique? Are they reserved?  |
 | It has to do with the scope of a javascript variable. It means that the variable is hoisted (aka “lifted up”) to the top of the code block it’s in. This has nothing to do with web hosting, and is only relevant if you are a javascript developer.  |
| | Use a CDN to load your images and fonts. I recommend Cloudflare, which has a free version, but you can also use Fastly or one of the other popular options out there. Also, limit the amount of heavy Javascript you're using.  |
| | # Reducing page load time: * Use a CDN such as Cloudflare or Fastly to serve your static images, javascript files, CSS files, etc. * Make sure that your web server is as fast as it can be; If using PHP, use Opcache, etc. # Minimizing render-blocking resources * Put … |
 | The new robots.txt tester that is now built into Google Search Console is finding errors with the last two rows of my robots.txt file: Sitemap: https://www.daniweb.com/latest-sitemap.xml Sitemap: https://www.daniweb.com/sitemap.xml The error is: *Invalid sitemap URL detected; syntax not understood* Any idea what could be wrong here? |
 | The only name I recognize in your post is Kermit the Frog. It’s not easy being green. |
| | While I concur that Figma is incredibly popular in the UI world, I fail to see the point of your post. |
| | An oldie but a goodie: Start a blog on your website with wacky and interesting news and fun facts that are relevant to your product or service. Promote those articles on Facebook in order to get FB likes and shares. |
| | The best way to prevent SQL injection attacks is to make sure that *all* strings passed into SQL queries, especially if they are derived from user-generated input, are properly escaped. If using MySQL with PHP, you can use the `mysqli::real_escape_string()` function. Other databases have equivalent functions. To prevent cross-site scripting … |
| | > What does SAP stand for India? Probably the same thing it stands for in other countries. |
 | Hi Julia and welcome to DaniWeb! You can link to your project from within your post signature, which can be set up [here](https://www.daniweb.com/connect/profile/community). We used to have a Share Your Projects forum a long time ago, but unfortunately it became a huge spam fest, where people didn't really care about … |

| | Another solution might be to just show smaller, low resolution versions of images, and only the full resolution if the person has paid for it. |
| | I don't know about *four* steps but ... Understand your product. Understand who you need to market to. Market to the target demographic. Collect leads. Follow-up on each of those leads. |
| | For some context, I use Google Ad Manager for all display ads on my site. Within the *Privacy & Messaging* section of Ad Manager, I have GDPR messages enabled for my entire domain. The message is published and the reporting stats indicate a sizable usage. Additionally, various ad units have … |
 | Aside from everything posted above, sometimes large changes to a complex website can take 6-9 months to be recognized by Google. |
| | Manu_18, can you show your code? Better yet, [start a new topic](https://www.daniweb.com/community/contribute/4) and show your code and the error message. This way your question doesn't get lost inside a 2 year old topic. |

| | Keyword stuffing are those darn tag clouds we have at the bottom of each page that got us dinged with Google Panda a few years back. |
| | Basically it's the time that the web browser spends converting the front-end HTML, javascript, and CSS into something that the end-user sees. You want to make sure not to block it with javascript plugins and such that take time away from the web browser showing something to the user. |

| | The Google Analytics javascript tag we use in our HTML <head> is: <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-3BQYMGHE7E"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-3BQYMGHE7E'); </script> Then, there are a handful of `gtag()` calls elsewhere on the page. I'm confused by how async works in this context. … |

 | * Check that you’re using a valid username and password and that those credentials have proper access to the path you’re attempting to connect to * I’m not personally too savvy about this, but does SSH require you to send a private key? Are you able to connect via regular … |
| | Can you try adding a bunch of debug code to this? Firstly, after line 10, try echo'ing out something like: echo "ID found: " . $_POST['id']; Perhaps the entire block is being skipped entirely. The second thing is on line 11, we set `$db = new DbController();`. Are we sure … |

 | This sounds to me like [Rehoboam](https://westworld.fandom.com/wiki/Rehoboam) in Westworld Season 3. |
 | Rproffitt, I think maybe you’re misunderstanding the question. Or at least I hope you are. If you are working as an independent UI/UX contractor for hire, then the client would come to you with their conversion goals (whether that’s strictly signups, user engagement, etc.), and as the UI/UX expert for … |
| | I'm a fan of the [Percona flavor of MySQL](https://docs.percona.com/percona-server/8.0/index.html). DaniWeb used to do a lot of work with Percona back when they were a small startup and I had the cell number of the owner. Nowadays they're too big for us ;) |
| | Aside from standing desks, I’ve seen people sit on exercise balls (or balance balls) instead of chairs. Supposedly it achieves a similar effect. |
 | Hi and welcome to DaniWeb!! Funny you should join today. DaniWeb just launched a [backlink checker](https://www.daniweb.com/tools/backlinks) last night, the first of a handful of SEO and other dev tools I'm starting to build out targeting the DaniWeb audience. |

 | What are your interests? Is there a specific web development language or set of technologies you’re focused on learning right now? |
| | A little bit late but ... My googling shows the opposite. I'm seeing that Odoo developers are high in demand because there are more job offers than people with the skillset to fill those jobs. Therefore, if it's something you're really interested in, and would enjoy doing, I say go … |
| | Share it on your social media (Facebook, etc.) with friends and family and get their input on it. |
| | Google releases algorithm updates just about every day. Usually multiple times a day. However, they are often small and we don’t necessarily notice them, unless they affect our site and we are paying close attention. A handful of times a year, Google will release a massive update that affects a … |
The End.
