PostedIf you are a vector-loving SVG enthusiast then you will certainly want to extend the functionality of your WordPress install to make the Media Library SVG friendly. Use the following code snippet in your functions.php file:

Website Copying, Mirroring and Downloading for Offline Browsing
PostedI recently had to copy a static website for a client that no longer had access to their back-end. I used a program called HTTrack Website Copier to download the entire site locally, so that I could then upload it to a new server location. It only comes up once a year or so that […]
Force HTTPS But Not For Add-On Domain
PostedSetting up a new add-on domain* for a client today and found that I could not access the new add-on domain name directly. It was appending the new add-on domain name to the root or main site url. So instead of taking the visitor to www.newdomain.com it was taking them to www.maindomain.com/newdomain.com, and of course […]

Broken Images on Web Pages: Web Developer Browser Tools
PostedEarlier today I was tasked with finding and fixing broken images on a retailer’s website, where there were of course thousands of images to go through.

Facebook Page: Not Eligible To Create A Username Solution
PostedThis one is going out to all those searching the Facebook help pages that really offer no help. I couldn’t believe just how little help those pages and their comments/information were… especially with no Facebook representatives helping anyone! Anyways… I recently set up a new business page for a client, from a new Facebook account […]
The CSS Pseudo-Element :empty and Google Maps
PostedI use Feedly.com as my RSS reader and have a good amount of content coming in there that I browse each day or so. I certainly don’t remember each and everything I read, but even skimming the content and articles means that one day when I run into a work problem, I might remember “Oh […]

Foundation 6: Force Remote Font Loading For Google Fonts
PostedLoving how my latest Foundation 6 website was proceeding in development, I realized the website was loading a system font (in my case Roboto) when viewing the site on my local computer. I’m using Foundation 6 (Sass) with WordPress 4.5 using the JointsWP theme developed locally in Wamp. Around line 63 in the file _global.scss […]
Balloon.css – Simple tooltips made from pure CSS
PostedI haven’t used this myself yet but was happy to see it on offer. Truthfully I’m selfishly blogging about it here so I can come back when it’s needed. If you want to create tooltips (the popups that appear when hovering over with your mouse—see above graphic) Balloon.css looks to be pretty simple. You can […]
PHP Snippet: Display If In Date Range
PostedOne of my client’s websites requires regular updates where a “Sale” graphic is shown to visitors between certain dates. Rather than manually updating the site at those specific dates (and having to be in front of the computer on those dates) I wrote a little script so the graphic just pops up if the current […]
Emails Slow? Check Your Greylisting Settings
PostedThis might not pertain to your situation. In fact I knew nothing about Greylisting, or if applied to me, until I went digging into the server settings via my cpanel. What was happening to me was I testing a contact form script that I had written from the ground up. It was including some […]
750 FREE + 96 NEW Material Design Icons to Use, Remix or Share
PostedIn October of 2014 I blogged about Google releasing 700+ free categorized icons. Well they’ve just updated their collection with an additional 96 new icons that you can use personally or commercially without attribution whatsoever. Their license (CC-BY 4.0) does however include a blurb saying it won’t hurt their feelings if you include attribution on […]
Photoshop: Quit Adding “Copy” To My Exported JPGs
PostedI was recently creating an action in Photoshop that would alter my original JPGs and then at determined steps throughout the altering process save a JPG to certain folders on my hard drive; kind of a “save large version JPG, alter further, save medium version, alter further and save thumbnail version”. Pretty easy stuff—I create […]
FREE Open Source Password Manager: KeePass
PostedUnless I’m mistaken and you don’t use the Internet much at all, YOU NEED a password manager. Here’s the gist. KeePass is free, open-source, cross-platform, light-weight password management program for Windows. If you aren’t using Windows but rather have a Mac, iPhone or Android OS unofficial versions of the program exist for pretty much any […]
Download, Don’t Open in Browser Window: Force Download

Sending Mail Using The PHP Mail Function: A Simple Test To See If Your Server Supports The Function
PostedYou should not be using the PHP mail function within your site as mail being sent from the server can be faulty at reaching the intended email address. In fact I’ve recently found out that there are many web hosts that in fact disable this function entirely (on shared hosting situations). You should be using […]

Client Data Workflow
PostedJust wanted to share what I thought was a reasonably valuable tidbit today. It’s about organizing client data. I’ve done this long enough now to know there has to be some sort of logic as to where you save something or what you name it. I’ve never really found anyone else talking about this so […]

PostedSome Handy CSS: Clearfix, Friendly Spacing on Named Anchor Jumps, Visually Hidden and Box Sizing
PostedThese aren’t going to be terribly useful to you unless you’re a developer. A few regularly used CSS tricks:
CSS Fixed Background Effect From CodyHouse
PostedI follow digital trends somewhat closely, as well as the debates that surround those trends. This post though isn’t about a trend or a debate so much, but rather just something put out there that you may choose to use or inspire you. I look at it a little like a CSS only parallax-effect hack. […]
CSS Feature Detection Using @supports In Your CSS
PostedYou have used CSS for years, targeting elements in your code and styling as you wish. Perhaps you’ve even developed code that checked to see if your styling would look great in all browsers and implemented a fall-back in case your preferred styling wasn’t supported in the viewer’s browser. You might have used Modernizr for that […]
Using a Middot For List Style Type
PostedI have always “not loved” the giant circle that appears by default for a list style type of “disc”. If you’d like to use a middot instead, which stands for middle-dot, change your CSS as follows:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 |
li:before { content: '\b7\a0'; /* \b7 is a middot, \a0 is a space */ } li { list-style:none; text-indent: -.5em; /* you can vary this to your liking */ } |
The above will work on any browser supporting the :before and :content psuedo-elements. Read more about psuedo-elements at […]
Firefox Developer Edition: Where is View Generated Source? With Solution
PostedWhen I work designing websites it’s very common that right-clicking on the page and choosing “view source” is sufficient for me to see what code gets rendered. There are few exceptions however that viewing the page source isn’t actually accurate as to what you are viewing on the page. If you’re reading this I assume […]
