Understanding Web traffic can be maddening. It's easy to find out, in general, how many visitors your site's had, which pages visitors accessed, and even where most of the site traffic came from with just about any logging software.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the first NetDummy peer review of the site Shaddow Domain. We here at NetDummy realize that this site was a bit, well, over the top. Two of you even complained about our selection. So allow me to explain.
How do you create a site that works? You can read a stack of books on HTML and still get it all wrong - this happens time and again.
I asked DevWebPro readers what they expected from professional email, and the responses poured in. Find out what people who are receiving your email expect to see. Read on for views on HTML mail, Outlook, a few criticisms of DevWebPro, plus grammar gripes and misspelling misery.
Most of us are content with the protection a firewall affords us, and don’t bother to analyze the data the programs collect. Which ports are being probed? How often? Is the same source IP repeated with alarming frequency? We rarely check. The information locked away in those unexamined log files could potentially prevent script kiddie rampages, stop the spread of malware, and even help track and prevent hacker break-ins. And yet those files go largely unanalyzed, especially by home users. The firewall does its job, and we’re satisfied.
When you choose your ad text for Google, use a hefty dose of caution. As Thai Winds learned, it’s tough to bend Google’s ad rules, even if you’re right.
When Thai Winds decided to use Google’s AdWords program, they wrote their ad in the way that made the most sense from the perspective of their business. They didn’t anticipate what happened next, however – their ad was disapproved, all of their ads with Google were deleted because of the phrases they chose.
I recently received an email from a hockey coach with a Web site. He was searching for a way to create an ebook to sell on his site. But since he just wanted to create just one ebook, he didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on a program to do the job. His question – is it possible to create ebooks for free?
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to spice up your Web site, look no further than DevScripts. Over 1,000 scripts are available through DevScripts – ASP, ColdFusion, JavaScript, Perl, and more. The site has just recently launched, so expect many more new scripts in the future.
A short time ago I wrote an article discussing resources for Red Hat 8.0. Widely touted as a more “user-friendly” version of Linux, I gave it a whirl and intended to share my views with you. Instead, I will respond to some of the many, many questions readers sent in. Thank you all for your feedback! You’ve raised some very good issues.
If you're like me, you've considered eliminating Windows from your computer at some point. The upgrade scheme is confusing, and there's an endless stream of hacks, viruses, worms, and exploits that target Windows computers exclusively.
Linux, by comparison, appears to be more stable. It seems to require less maintenance, and there aren't any legal strings attached to it. It does, however, have a "geeks only" reputation that scares away many novices early on. Recently, Red Hat, a Linux software company, has made an effort to change that techs-only image.
