My best web development tips so far
September 16, 2007 |
I have these occasional moments where I can be really smart. Sometimes I even get the chance to record one of those moments in text or on video.
Recently, I was talking about a way to get more links from DMOZ and then there was a blast of Writing for print vs. writing for the web and it really got me thinking this would be a good topic to follow on this blog. I might have some bright ideas in the area of web development after all. I’m not going to buckle it down hard because this is still my flagship blog and personal playhouse so I require the freedom to talk about whatever I want on a given day.
So why should you listen to me?
You really shouldn’t. I wouldn’t recommend it at all. I really don’t know much about the web and my blogging skills are not what I would call developed. I’m constantly asking questions to more experienced bloggers. But I am a writer by nature and I can be a fun read.
I’m not going to pretend to have all the answers, and thats’ why I’m not really running a help blog or offering any tech support to you.
These, however, are some articles that I enjoyed writing and people have enjoyed reading. Just some good ideas I have had in the way of this whole blogging and copywriting development scheme that I have going here. However small the bursts may be, if you are here to read those, then dig in and enjoy.

So please, check out these articles and browse the archives. If you enjoy them, leave a comment. If you dig them, digg them.(Isn’t it weird how spending too much time on the web makes the normal spelling of Digg seem wrong?)
I told you things would be slow this month.

I like your ending note about Digg. I was thinking that too.

I also notice that you have changed to logo and removed nofollow. Or are you using LinkLove. Personally, I remove nofollow when I choose to - currently though PHPMyAdmin

Currently its’ linklove, but I’m testing both.
I used to do the same as you. My blog was all custom. I had a very basic admin panel and used PHPMyAdmin for almost everything else, my video section is all edited through PHPMyAdmin.
I made the move to Wordpress mostly for things like trackbacks and other link related perks. But also because I spent way too much time on development and tweaking features instead of writing good content.

And now top commentors. What do you think of the PHP standard of Wordpress?
I’ve only had a quick look, so wouldn’t be able to call much judgement, but anything that has HTML in the PHP is no good in my eyes. Another PHP programmer I know who regularly uses Wordpress, including for his own blog says of its: “It’s a fucking bloated load of shit.”

I think its’ all in your choice of theme. I’m only lightly skilled in PHP, but the way I see it is, everything is there if you need it, and its’ up to you which functions you call when you are coding your theme.

Get rid of the dotted underline for the logo and image links. It looks funny. The text links are ace.

Yeah, I’ve been meaning to get rid of those. Kind of funny how a pointless roundup sparked more conversation than some of my ‘best posts’. I just thought it would be cooler to make a post of my favorites rather than add another menu for it like some blogs do.
