Infographic: iPhone 6 – What to Expect in the New iPhone
The long awaited iPhone 5s & 5c have been released into the wild only to be met with a collective wave of cheers and yawns. Some love the fresh colors and new features while others wonder why the once cutting edge company is failing to keep pace with its competitors. Now that we’ve seen all […]
Display Only Certain Categories or Single Post on Home Page in WordPress
WordPress is, well, the cats pajamas. For your interesting factoid of the day, cats pajamas was used by hipsters in the 1920s to refer to a person who was the best at what they do. I really can’t heave enough accolades on the platform, or its open source community. Though WordPress is painfully easy to […]

Copyright Status of Archived Web Content on an Expired Domain
Domains drop everyday. A few are great, but the vast majority are trash that weren’t worth the $10 registration fee in the first place. Most bleed their way back into the domain pool, but all web properties seem to have a chance at a second life through registrar auction services. Most registrars either have them […]

Manual Spam Action Revoked Those are the most beautiful words in the English language if you are a web developer. Especially if you’ve experienced the wrath of a Google penalty.

Getting Latitude & Longitude from a Street Address Using c# and Visual Studio.net
I was working on a project last night utilizing Bing embeddable Maps and wanted to generate these maps on the fly for some WordPress post automation I was employing. I took the map embed code and tried to simply swap out the address references for each new location. That was a no go. It seems […]
