I was going to write a lengthy study on emerging trends in the logo vector I see coming this year, how ever this article seems to have wrapped that up for me. Great article analyzing trends in logo design and branding. I especially like the “ugly 80’s” section. Definitely my style of preference.

Meta Keywords Tag 101: How To “Legally” Hide Words On Your Pages For Search Engines.

If there’s anything I particularly hate when it comes to SEO, it’s the meta keywords tag. I so wish it had never been invented. It’s practically useless, yet people still obsess over it. In this article, I’ll explain more about why you shouldn’t worry about it except perhaps for misspellings, as well as which search engines support it.

The meta keywords tag is one of several of meta tags that you can insert into your web pages to provide search engines with information about your pages that isn’t visible on the page itself. For example, my Meta Robots Tag 101: Blocking Spiders, Cached Pages & More article covers how you can use a different meta tag — the meta robots tag — to block pages from being indexed. Users don’t see this information (unless they look at your source code), but search engines do.

I recently read an interesting article I think may help some people with SEO concerns out there for their major sites and / or blogs. The above is a quote from the article. Link is below:

Cheatsheets Galore! One Cheatsheet List To Rule Them All!

Regardless of how long you’ve been programming in a language, let’s face it, here and there, it’d be nice to just pick up a sheet of paper, view a simple image, click on a single link, and get a good reference table to aid you. In todays time, there are so many languages that people are trying to cram, that they sometimes lose focus, and mix and match, or just dilute them selves so heavily (think of the butter spread to evenly on the bread example), that they know a language, but sometimes just can’t recall some of the functions.

Below you will find a list of as many cheat sheets as I could find on the internet. If you have one you’ve made, or links that you know that contain cheat sheets, let me know via comments. Thanks!

Sending email through your localhost using WAMP or XAMPP.

Many developers, and designers use XAMPP, or WAMP on their localhost for sharing websites, sharing files, testing environments, just among the multitude of reasons to run your own Apache server.

Why not? Both of these packages easily install, and deploy without a hitch. Installed services, runs MySQL, PHP, everything. But what many people can’t get figured out, is sending mail out through your localhost. Here’s how you get it done.

1) Open the “php.ini“. You should know where it is located because it depends upon the particular server you’re running.

2) Search for the attribute called “SMTP” in the php.ini file.Generally you can find the line “SMTP=localhost“. change the localhost to the smtp server name of your ISP. And, there is another attribute called “smtp_port” which should be set to 25.I’ve set the following values in my php.ini file.

SMTP = smtp.wlink.com.np smtp_port = 25

3) Restart the apache server so that PHP modules and attributes will be reloaded.

4) Now try to send the mail using the mail() function ,

mail(”you@yourdomain.com”,”test subject”,”test body”);

you might get the warning like this,

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: “sendmail_from” not set in php.ini or custom “From:” header missing in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\testmail.php on line 1

5) Now specify the following headers and try to send the mail again,

$headers = ‘MIME-Version: 1.0′ . “\r\n”; $headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′ . “\r\n”; $headers .= ‘From: sender@sender.com’ . “\r\n”; mail(”you@yourdomain.com”,”test subject”,”test body”,$headers);

Well that’s all, the mail is sent to “you@yourdomain.com” from the localhost.

Note : Some smtp server verifies the email address of the sender so the email address which is in the place of “sender@sender.com” should be a valid and existing email address otherwise mail might not be sent to the “you@yourdomain.com”.
