Thank you for taking the time to post your answer, to help future folks with the same question :)

I look at a title like that and the first thing that comes to my mind is, "You're an inexperienced SEO who created that title for SEO's sake" ... I have another thread around here somewhere where I explain that the best way to do SEO is to not do ANYTHING for SEO's sake. That's the kinda stuff the search engines catch on to.

I'm not sure. I've seen some smaller sites that use YPN. DaniWeb was invited into YPN's beta program without even requesting an invitation, and we don't have 20 million pageviews a month (yet).

Hi there! Welcome to DaniWeb :) I hope you enjoy this place. Thank you for the kudos.

I would definitely check out Yahoo! Publisher Network. Some people have even had better experiences with it than Google AdSense.

Domain age, content, relevancy of backlinks, etc. are all factors that contribute to how well a site ranks in the engines. Google toolbar pagerank is a direct demonstration of backlink count, discounting all other factors.

No, it's not. Webrings were a "fad" back in the late 1990s. They died a rather quick death in 2000 when Yahoo! bought the official WebRing out.

I think it might be a problem with the particular HijackThis log. When I delete the one post, the rest of the thread suddenly displays fine through page two.

Sorry I don't have any suggestions. :(

Sorry, guys. I don't know what to tell you. While I encounter the same problem in FireFox, it works fine in Internet Explorer and Safari. Additionally, the code is W3C compliant and validates as XHTML.

The only thing that I could suggest is a bug in the Firefox browser where it's memory limited or such. I really don't have any other ideas but I am open to suggestions.

Hi! ... and happy birthday :)

His blog entry was a tutorial, so it ended up being moved to the tutorials section. Sorry about that.

I used to send plain text emails to members, and they were a big hit. I just started sending HTML emails out, but I found that many of them got caught in junk mail filters. Are there any particular things to look out for when writing HTML emails to not set off the filters?

Cool. :)

Should be fixed :)

I hate to say it, but it was designed this way on purpose. Here's the thing ...

When people use [code] tags, in order to get the scrollbar to work properly and to account for people with really long lines of code to not form unclean line breaks or worse, it is necessary to specify the absolute width of the <div> tag which encompasses code. (This is a given.)

The width specified looks fine within the forums, but when used in the Control Panel, the left CP navigation menu occupies space, making the width of the code area too big for the space allotted. Therefore, when viewing a PM in the control panel that contains [code] tags, the code box takes up too much room and pushes everything out.

I therefore opted for the lesser of two evils. I would rather things look a little funky when viewing PMs with [code] (I mean, how often does that really happen?) as opposed to sitewide shrinking the width of the [code] box and making it more inconvenient for every forum thread that has code in it.

Just as I wrote that ... I thought about seeing if it's possible to set two different widths for [code] ... one within PMs and one within forums. Let me go take a looksie ...

In IE, Go to the View menu and then Font Size, and keep it on the Medium setting. You can change font sizes in Firefox, as well, but it works a bit differently. Firefox font size control is also more powerful, in that it also affects fixed set fonts, such as those on DaniWeb. :)

This is very similar to the discussion that I started here: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread44195.html :) So, I definitely agree that you need to know when it's too much.

Hard returns aren't meant to be used with TeX anyways. I think you can avoid this by using the standard editor instead of the wysiwyg editor (hit the little A/A icon in the top right of the editor box)

Hi!! Welcome to DaniWeb :)

Which links am I talking about? Sorry, I'm a little confused.

Hi Rose. Welcome to DaniWeb. You can post your questions over in our C++ forum but be sure not to just expect a quickie answer. We only give help to those who show effort with schoolwork, so be sure to post what you've tried so far, specifically where you're having a problem, and any other details. :)

Are you referring to the dropdown that allowed you to Sort By Last Post, Sort By Replies, etc? If so, just click on the little heading within the top of the thread list to sort by that field.

Yes, phpBB is :)

I'm really confused what you're asking??

* Keeping an eye on this thread *

Thank you for your help. I did some research and the following worked:

I replaced

<xsl:value-of select="description" />

with

<xsl:value-of select="description" disable-output-escaping="yes" />

I was reading up about that but I haven't tried it yet. What I'm most in need of is getting &amp; to work, but from what I understand, it should by default? I'm using UTF-8 if that matters.

I am using an XSL document to pretty print my RSS feed. However, special characters don't parse - they appear within the feed as &nbsp; and &amp;

What line(s) do I need to specify in my RSS and XSL XML documents in order to get these to work? It's my understanding that &amp; &quot; &lt; &gt; should work by default but I need to do extra to work to map &nbsp; to a space.

Kub never told me it was between an Opteron and a Xeon :) He just asked for my feedback on SCSI vs SATA.

Hi. Welcome to DaniWeb. Instead of doing a bunch of different things halfway before moving onto something else, why not do one thing all the way? There are lots of careers out there that let you do computerized music production and will incorporate as many of your interests together. It could definitely turn into a long time career for you. It will also give you the opportunity to move up the ladder and not do a whole bunch of different entry-level things in all your interests.

I currently sell text links myself. :)

> 1. goog only shows links pointing to a single page, not an entire site
Anyone can very simply use the appropriate command within each search engine to gather a list of backlinks. What Aaron's utility does it actually manipulate the data received by the search engine APIs. In other words, if Google were included (hypothetically), it would fetch a link:[url]www.site.com[/url] where it would be returned a list of pages. The script would then determine how many unique domains are contained within the list, and the number of pages per domain. So, for example, if I were to do it to www.mysite.com, it would return:

www.referrer1.com is giving you 20 backlinks
www.referrer2.com is giving you 15 backlinks

and so on and so forth. For how popular doing a link: in Google is, I'm sure you can see the value of having the results returned sorted and categorized. It's actually pretty easy to code thanks to Google's amazingly simple API. I would actually write the script myself if it weren't for the fact that I'm amazingly lazy and have other things to do. :)

I have a rather large Excel spreadsheet. What I would like to do is "fix" the leftmost or topmost columns on the screen as I scroll horizonally or vertically.

So, in other words, if I have 10 rows of various accounts with 200 columns each, I want to be able to see which account I am dealing with as I scroll horizontally into column 150.

I'm not quite sure what's up. Pages indexed suddenly drastically declined for us and yet this past week was awesome for us in terms of traffic received from Google. This weekend is slow, but all weekends are, so I can't compare until Monday.

Here's a link to our mac forum: http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/forum11.html

Wow ... that's awesome :) You must be a community building pro then, eh? Welcome to DaniWeb!

I'm waiting until we're outta beta.

It's the same CSS property that allows code to scroll in all of the posts contained within this thread.

Don't diss PHP :) I'm such a PHP gal! AJAX basically lets you do some nifty server-side things without refreshing the page. Want a quick example? Make a post on DaniWeb and then hit the Edit This Post button for a demo of what AJAX can do. You might also notice that when you use the Quick Reply form around here, your post automatically appears in the thread without the page being refreshed. For another example of AJAX, go into your Control Panel and click on the Send New PM link. Begin to enter my username, "cscgal", and you'll notice that a drop down list will appear of usernames to select from.

www.kluid.com says the site will be launching on May 30th.

I didn't think it was possible to be aware of a forum that is not yet in existence.

I haven't been to this thread in a good amount of time but I'm wondering why post #336 is only counting 165.

Snitz?

Hi! :)

It's okay. No one died and was mysteriously resurrected in the next episode.

Hi John!

Welcome back!

hexstar, have you ever tried selling ad space yourself? You might be able to get a few bites if you advertise a flat monthly rate, and the best part about it is you don't have to share the revenue with an agency.

Yeah, those are the best I've seen. Aaron's backlink analyzer only does MSN and Yahoo though AFAIK, but it's pretty concise.
