Making Your Content More Shareable
Are you making your content easily shareable? One of the over looked aspects of quality content is, “How sharable is it? Make your SEO about getting people to share. Well not all of your SEO efforts, but a good portion. Studies show that people will buy from a friends recommendation before that of a stranger. […]
Sorry Google
I think Google is starting to use the Torah for their Captcha dictionary. I can understand the desire to keep people from using robots to scrape content and not submit spam into email forms, but for a logged in person using the Google Keyword Tool this should not come up.

WordPress ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so
I was recently working on a friends 1&1 server installing one of my plugins that is compiled and requires the ionCube Shared Object. 1&1 doesn’t offer servers with the ionCube Loader already configured, I read somewhere that any server worth using would have the Loader already installer, of which I completely agree with.

Dovecot: Shared object “libmysqlclient.so.15” not found

I noticed that I had libmysqlclient.so.18 in mine since I just updated.

WordPress Category Limitation with Slashes
I’ve found that when doing custom post types, and possibly all category naming, there is a limitation.
