The close() won’t always work in Firefox – FF will only close a window with close() if a script opened the window.
So you have to pretend it did… ;)
Use:
<a xhref="javascript:window.open('','_parent','');window.close();">Close Window</a>
Quite ironic bug on MSN Live’s “improve” page…
Found a Problem or Bug, or… another Problem or Bug. What one do you select?!?! ;)
You see them all the time when a page gets dugg on digg.com or suddenly becomes very popular -
Can’t select database
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the xxxx database.
* Are you sure it exists?
* On some systems the name of your database is prefixed with your username, so it would be like username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?If you don’t know how to setup a database you should contact your host. If all else fails you may find help at the WordPress Support Forums.
Well recently I needed to make sure that if oen of my wordpress installs couldn’t connect or whatever that it showed a different page (well, different text). So if you want to do the same (at your own risk), open up wp-includes/wp-db.php and edit:
Hope that helped you. Now digg me (just kidding – who wants this at the top of digg!) to prove that it works (although – of course my host will cope with it ;). They have before)
Some ideas to put on your messages:
This site doesn’t really cover much black hat seo or methods used by spammers, but there is no point in trying to ignore it. Black hat seo can be very helpful. So you might be interested in some black hat seo tactics some people use.
Google Webmaster Tools (AKA Google Sitemaps) is a very handy tool for search engine optimisers. Crawl dates, index stats, page rank information, search engine result positions and more.
So what tools out there are the best ones to help you use it? Well -
So there you go. Hope it helps you.
Google is buying Youtube – the biggest online video sharing site, for $1.6 billion. But why would it want to? It already has Google Video
Get more market share
Youtube has between 40-45% market share of online video sharing. Google Video has nothing like that. So combining Google video and Youtube will mean that Google almost dominates the video sharing market.
Why pay for advertising?
Google paid $900 million in a deal with Myspace to sell advertising space there. By buying youtube it can put all the ads it wants – and keep all the profits. At the moment Google adsense ads are on Youtube, but Youtube currently will get 70-80% of the profits. Now that Youtube is Google’s, the big G can keep 100% of the profits itself.
The lawsuits
Many people recon the reason Youtube hasn’t been sued yet is because they have no money to pay out. But then, Google video has lots of copyrighted material, and Google has lotsof money – but where are the lawsuits against them?
And hey, this is Google – the guys that decided they would scan thousands of books and display (parts of) them online! And they got away with it!
Also some big name companies such as Warner music have already done deals with youtube. Rather than keep setting lawsuits against each other etc they work with each other.
This is easy. Make a 404 error page, call it 404.php (or whatever) then in your .htaccess file enter:
” ErrorDocument 404 /404.php”
That is it!
Going for a certain small niche and don’t have much money, but want to get on the first page ASAP?
Buy your-keyword.info, at domainsite.com for just $1.99. It isn’t much to lose, and can get you to the top of search engine results for those keywords really quickly. I’ve made >$100 in a couple of days for a 4 day old .info domain that came up #1/2 in Google.
It won’t work for competitive keywords. Find non competitive ones that you can still get a few hundred visitors a day with if you are #1/2/3/4/5.
Sorry for quick post….!
Yup, finally dreamhost have moved away from that 2003 era look of their home page to a nice and sexy new design!
Ps - save some money…
