 | I've never heard of Media Temple, actually. |
| | Re: SEO I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but you can use Google Webmaster Tools to suggest the rich snippets that you want to use for your site. Is that what you're asking? Sorry, I'm confused by your question.  |

| | We originally became purple to be *different* and stand out from the 1,000,001 blue IT sites that existed back in the late 90s and early 2000s on the web. Purple was chosen for a number of subliminal reasons. Ten years later, it looks like Microsoft is actually copying *US* since … |
 | Making money from AdSense is definitely possible but you need a content-rich site (i.e. not an e-Commerce site). It's a popular revenue maker for forums, especially, because forum goers tend to not click on traditional banner ads as they browse around the site. Text links that are contextually targeted to … |
 | We had our own interview with him as well: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/cpp/interviews/313564/interview-with-bjarne-stroustrup-creator-of-c  |
| | This looks like a homework assignment. What have you tried so far?  |
 | Re: Tablet Friendly It really comes down to a time factor. The amount of time it would take to redesign a front end for tablet and mobile devices when only 1% of our audience is on a tablet/mobile device. From what I understand, half of that percentage is just Davey alone.  |
| | I'm not sure what you mean. Content development in terms of content? You write it?? Do you mean software like Wordpress? |
| | It seems to me like a problem with the sound card drivers. What sound card is it? I don't think you can overclock a soundcard because I don't believe it has a processor in it, but even if you could, and you did, it would just speed up the clockcycles … |

 | Super sorry about that!!!!!! |
 | Most blog systems often require comments from registered users to prevent spam. Bloggers want to encourage people to register to, as you say, build a list of email subscribers, but also to allow guests to comment on their articles. If your system does not allow any extra privileges, guests are … |
| | When posting in heading tags, you're also telling the search engines that everything *underneath* is more important. |
| | As of the last crawl of your website, you appear to be running vBulletin 3. One or more of the URLs found were: http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/c/threads/242548/1063562 http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/java/threads/326935/1395062 http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/vbnet/threads/26614/134458 Google recommends that you update to the latest release. Older or unpatched software may be vulnerable to hacking or malware that can hurt your …  |
| | I've gone ahead and changed the setting to not show the top endorsed members who have chosen to remain invisible in their member profiles. LastMitch, you currently are NOT set to invisible status so you will want to change that. If you are a private person who prefers laying low … |

 | Usman, I have no idea what you're asking, but try submitting your question at http://www.daniweb.com/software-development/2/contribute Be sure to select the correct forum from the list. |
| | Sorry you got hit by panda. Been there, done that :) In looking at your site, I have a few recommendations for you. * Have your images on your homepage link to the articles, not bigger versions of the images. * Spellcheck and grammar check all of your articles. You …  |

| | We have the valid URLs: www.daniweb.com/foo www.daniweb.com/foo/ www.daniweb.com/foo/1 www.daniweb.com/foo/2 www.daniweb.com/foo/3 If I want to disallow them all in robots.txt, are *both* of these valid and will they do the same thing? Disallow: /foo Disallow: /foo/ Will the latter also block the URL www.daniweb.com/foo or will that be interpreted as a …  |
 | Re: CMS development If following an existing tutorial was as easy as setting up an existing CMS system such as WordPress, then WordPress wouldn't be that popular!! Unless you're doing it just as a learning project, don't just reinvent the wheel for the sake of reinventing the wheel. I'm really not sure what … |
| | I'm trying to get PubSubHubbub set up but I'm rather confused. I understand the concept but the implementation is troubling me. To get my feet wet, instead of starting my own hub, I decided to use Superfeedr. I *think* I have it set up correctly, but I want to test … |
 | Re: Salted Passwords We salt passwords uniquely for each user and store them in the database, because that is how vBulletin did it. When we migrated to our own platform, it just made sense at the time as the easiest way to not require everyone to create a new password. In order to … |
| | vBulletin allows the administrator to select only certain usergroups the ability to edit their own profile. The error message is a generic message for any page not accessible to you, even though you're already logged in. You could be banned, not have an activated account, or the administrator might even … |

| | I found the page once a long time ago but I can't find it again. Would anyone happen to know the URL to the Google FAQ page about adding your site as one of the Networks potentially listed under Social Network Referrals in Google Analytics?? |
 | Your thread about cheeseburgers? I can't seem to find your name. Please link me to the thread and tell me the line number with your name. |
 | I think we'll see more Panda refreshes and updates to Penguin in the form of putting more emphasis on catching false positives. For example, better work detecting which version is the original when duplicate content is detected, and even more emphasis placed on social signals (number of Facebook shares, Twitter … |
| | If anything, I think this ordeal will just show Last Mitch how the entire community rallys together to help him.  |
 | We have a voting system (note the arrows in the top right corner of each post) where you can vote on individual posts and influence the reputation of the poster. However, members can vote on posts because they agree with the post, disagree with the post, find it in poor … |
 | I'm not so sure it would be a very heavily used feature. As James says, you can make your watched list function as a list of just your favorite threads. That's why we offer separate lists for easy access to threads you started or recently viewed. With regards to the … |
 | > prompt the current poster to consider making a new thread We already do this. > In addition, if a thread has not been closed after some duration (6 weeks?), would it be possible to close it out automatically with some status such that it would no longer show up … |
| | While I know a lot of people who listen to music when they code, I need complete silence in order to really get into it. Years ago I used to keep the tv on in the background for company, but I can't do that anymore for some reason. |

| | Re: solve dis puzzle There are no time tracking devices in the room, but no one said there's no ruler in the room. Take a ruler and measure the candle, and you'll know how much needs to be burned for 45 mins. |
 | Last week, James and I had been having memcache issues, where establishing a connection to memcache was slowing down page times significantly. I put it there to help me debug the issue, and left it because I thought it was a cute lil statistic to have. |
| | I use Alexa, Quantcast.com, and Compete.com  |
 | HUH?!?! |
| | Re: Anybody Tried? Wht are wallpost social ads? Not familiar with them? Looking at the website now, and it seems to be mostly Indian-based?? |
| | Oh really?!?! Do you have a link to where you heard the news? Our traffic dramatically changed on November 21st but I couldn't find *anything* related to a Panda or Penguin update. I searched everywhere! I noticed that, on the same day, the number of 404 pages detected by Google … |
 | What do you mean by your site map? Do you mean the sitemap XML file that gets uploaded to Google Webmaster Tools, or your site's navigation menu? Any time that you change your site navigation, it takes time for Google to catch on and recrawl your entire site. Changing the … |
| | Read articles. Read forums. You'll learn the same way you learned SEO. |
| | As a general rule, be careful with white label solutions because you're not able to offer visitors/clients anything more special than anyone else also using the same white label solution. Nowadays, being successful is all about being creative and unique and being able to offer something even just slightly different … |
| | I've been really struggling with regex lately ... I never quite got the hang of it. I'm currently hung up on trying to match on the following in my .htaccess file: ^foo/([A-Za-z0-9]+)/([0-9]+)$ The catch is that I want the alphanumeric string to *NOT* be one of a short list of … |
 | Shoot!! Something I was working on today introduced a bug in the reset link. I'm super sorry about that :(  |
| | So there is this new check mark feature where articles earn a ranking of 0-5 checkmarks based on the kudos awarded to the thread starter. The idea is to make it easy to find questions asked by seasoned DaniWebbers. What do you guys think about making questions with at least … |
| | Sorry about that ... we've been experiencing bad issues lately related to connecting to the database and memcached servers, which is most likely the reason for your issue. I've been up nights and around the clock working on it.  |
The End.
