• 6.5.07 Fine Tuned 404 posted in Web Design

  As part of the Circle Six redesign, I culled the portfolio and in the process broke just about every link that Google had indexed. A new sitemap and some redirect pages are taking care of SEO, but in the interim, a lot of visitors are getting 404 pages. So I borrowed a tip from the blog and added a suggest feature to the C6 404 page…

• 5.22.07 Pathway: Wiki Breadcrumbs posted in Geekery

  Pathway is an amazing little OS X tool for surfing Wikipedia. It lets you see a map view of the pages surrounding your search and then creates a breadcrumb trail of your path through the pages. You can add multiple start points, track notes and files for each page, download and preview images and re-arrange the maps by dragging. It’s a sweet tool for research, and great fun for downtime!

• 4.27.07 FlickrMate 1.5: Tag Search posted in Geekery

  Okay, new version on the download page. I honestly think the releases will slow down now, assuming I didn’t introduce a slew of new bugs with this one. 1.5 adds tag searching with a token based input, and every search dialog now has an “everybody” option that lets you search outside of your own photos and into the great big world of Flickr. How useful that will be I’m not sure, but it was easy to add the option, so I did. The tag searching allows “any” or “all” matches, and search results are ordered by relevance and the first 250 are returned. That’s a lot when you’re going through an image browser that shows one at a time ;).

• 1.23.07 Landing Sites, WP-Cache and Google Reader posted in Web Design, Geekery

  One of my favorite functionalities of this blog was the Landing Sites plugin from The undersigned, which I lost when I started using WP-Cache. So I needed to change a few things.

  1. I needed it not to display a landing site page for Google Reader users
  2. I needed it to work with WP-Cache which was becoming more and more vital as my traffic increased
  3. I needed a modified version that would break apart the request string on a 404 page and try to guess what the user was actually looking for and offer helpful suggestions, in the case of broken or malformed links to my blog

• 8.10.06 Javascript and SEO: The new school. posted in Web Design

  DOM Scripting is changing the old rules of SEO. I was raised to believe that javascript hindered a sites readability by search engine spiders and should be avoided at all costs. Of course, I come from an era where images were sliced apart and held together with tables, and rollovers were created […]

• 8.8.06 Senility and the Razr. And your regex dosage. posted in General

  I live in a small town. It took a while, but the day my local wireless company finally got the RAZR in, I snatched one up and promised myself I would take good care of it. I bought a plastic shell (I’ve been through three shells now) and screen protectors for it. […]

• 8.6.06 Goodbye to livesearch posted in Asides

  It was fun while it lasted, but I’ve bid farewell to livesearch on the Circle Six Blog. It was just extra javascript that really didn’t serve a purpose. Plus it made it hard to trap what people were searching for to use for my own nefarious purposes. I was happy just […]

  I’ve had requests for my contact form code trickling in steadily. I’ve almost worked up the motivation to clean up the code. I did put together a README and a credits list to go with the package, so I don’t have to feel so bad about sharing it now. But I’m less […]
