There are many ways to skin a cat, but what do you do if you cannot find the cat? A few years ago I published one of my most successful posts ever, top 10 anyway. It appealed to the b2b masses and made a few people angry, which is always fun. Anyway, one random day I started to see [...]
There are currently 74,000 support requests on WordPress.org for "how to fix 500 Internal Server Error." Let's just say it's a huge problem for people everyday.

Over the past few decades the SEO industry has morphed from a small niche for tech-hobbiest to an industry that truly affects billions of dollars in revenue for big business across the globe. During that time, there has been some huge upsets, from Google penalties to sheer deception. Here are some of the ones that hit home with me, [...]
Mirror, mirror, on the wall who's the highest authority website of them all? There's no doubt everyone from Poland to Poughkeepsie is looking for solid ways to attract legit backlinks, am I right?

A few days ago whilst interacting on Twitter with a local colleague of mine I discovered yet another Facebook feature that cropped up. A big thank you to Brandon Seymour for cluing me in on this and helping me figure out out. That feature is known as the "very responsive" tag and is given to Facebook Pages that respond [...]
While perusing the inner-depths of the vast interweb late one evening, I ran across a specification in a protocol that fancied my interests to a great degree. In other words, I ran across something cool. Now I'm sure most of you nerds have heard of this specification before, but for some reason I never ran across this before. Apparently [...]
When I obtained a new laptop last week, it came with a new copy of Windows 10 Professional. I instantly fell in love with it...that is, after I made a few tweaks. Let's face it, Windows 8/8.1 was a huge flop. People just didn't go for it. For those unfamiliar with Microsoft Windows version releases, there is a theory [...]
I was lucky enough to score one of LG's first US laptops recently. I've been without a laptop for a few months now, and have been scoping out what has been out there for a while. I ordered the laptop on Amazon Prime and had it delivered within 15 hours. Not too shabby. I also didn't have to pay [...]
On Friday afternoon while basking in the Miami sunlight poolside, I opened up my email on my mobile device to find a very peculiar email.
