006 JSJ Chrome Dev Tools with Paul Irish

006 JSJ Chrome Dev Tools with Paul Irish: "This has literally been number one request for 2 years [chuckles] and as of about 24 hours ago, it’s there. [Laughs] That one’s a little not so obvious because in Chrome Canary, you update and you restarted your browser in the past day, you haven’t seen it. But I’m very happy to announce; we now have checkboxes on the left. Might seem like a little deal, but its big deal for a lot of people.

CHUCK: I’m going to make a request to move them to the right.

[Laughter]

YEHUDA: I’m looking at it right now, that’s pretty awesome, Paul."

Paul Irish: "Now, especially with the news that Opera has moved to WebKit, we have a lot of WebKit browsers out there, but its pretty hard to know what they share and where they part ways. Below we’ll hopefully shine some light on this. As a result you’ll be able to diagnose browser differences better, report bugs at the right tracker, and understand how to develop against specific browsers more effectively.

How to improve your SEO by setting up a multi-national Wordpress site - Smart Insights Digital Marketing Advice

How to improve your SEO by setting up a multi-national Wordpress site - Smart Insights Digital Marketing Advice: "How much does it cost?
WPML costs $29 for the basic and $79 for the complete solution. The examples above were using the basic solution. The complete solution has the ability to translate admin text, manage attachments in different languages and provides multi-user translation management – which is useful if a large team of translators is working on the site. Alternatively you could use qTranslate, which is completely free.

Configuring qTranslate

qTranslate is even easier to install than WPML because it is available for free within WordPress’ plugins library."

Review of Alexa.com

Review of Alexa.com: "Do they have a membership area to their site? If they host it on a subdomain you can see how active they are. Having anywhere near 5% or 10% of your traffic in the private member's area is quite good if you have a well connected high traffic website. You can also see that our tools subdomain is a quite popular section of our site.

Review of Alexa.com

Review of Alexa.com: "This shows the percentage of their traffic which comes from search engines. If it is abnormally high, that might mean the site has a search-heavy focus and needs some thickening out in terms of community participation and developing other traffic streams. If it is abnormally low, and you have similar link profiles to other sites that are higher, then it might mean that you are missing some important keywords that you should target. This is where digging in for more data with a tool like SEM Rush or Compete.com shines."

Review of Alexa.com

Review of Alexa.com: "Who is sending them traffic? In many ways this can be unsurprising, but certain sites end up being more or less dependent on social media due to certain things like if they appeal to younger or older customers, what they are doing offline, if they are producing linkbait relevant to a specific audience which is heavily integrated into social media.
This can also help you locate some advertising locations, figure out how reliant they are on search, and help you see which sites in the vertical they are closely aligned with. DoubleClick Ad Planner also has a pretty awesome traffic affinity feature."

MediaElement’s great, but we don’t want to be locked in to one external library forever. Instead of using MediaElement-specific markup everywhere, we expose audio and video markup through shortcodes: [audio] and [video].

For the following scenarios:

I have an old post that has a video in the Media Library attached to it, and I want to use the new shortcode: [video]
I have the URL for a video, from the Media Library or external, that I want to play:

Cache Test

Cache Test: "This test makes unique pages that behave as static pages. Caches operate on static pages because they can usually rely on them staying valid for a period of time.

These pages set a last modified date of three days before they are generated. They also set an expiry time of three days days into the future. This should encourage most caches to serve future requests for this page from the cache unless explicitly bypassed with the browser refresh button."
