I’ve had one of “those” days (well, evenings) and I can’t be bothered to blog properly, so here’s a few funky links and spunky web pages of use/interest I’ve found recently… Just when I thought that user-sign-up spam on phpBB couldn’t get any worse I found the phpBB admin toolkit which allows me to administer […]
Category: Interwebs
Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I’ve talked about it in here.
Comment Filtering and Other Goo
A couple of “legitimate people” (and a few trolls) have mentioned having yet more trouble getting through my far-too-strict comment blacklists, and yet frustratingly certain spammers are getting through by posting normal comments with links that simply redirect to dodgy porn/drug sites. I don’t want to ban URLs or comments altogether so I’m going to […]
Pants: swimchick.net
In a way, I feel sorry for the owner of swimchick.net (“Jessica”). Of all the “crap site” nominations I receive, swimchick tops the list. It is also one of the most searched for terms by people looking through my reviews/previous pants awards. In fact, feedback on swimchick is so much in demand I feel I’m […]
Writing Reviews for Cash
I’m not sure how many of you have seen the new ReviewMe website; well, after getting after my initial “OMG I am SO going to sue!” reaction (copied from Review You, right? This is a joke!) I can’t decide how I feel about the whole thing. On one hand, I hate blogstitution (thank you Belinda) […]
Love Me, For I Am Great
This post is purely for indulging in a whole lot of narcissism. Oh yeah! If you’re not interested in reading about my latest achievements… well, tough! >:D Last week I was asked if I was interested in contributing to a piece on my ex-boyfriends for a feature called “The ex-files” in the Observer (national weekly […]
Sneaky JavaScript Source Code Hiding
One of the most common questions I find that is asked by newbie webmasters is “how do I hide my source code?” Most of these kids don’t have websites/code worth stealing, but nonetheless you’ve got to see past the “oh God, not another one” and respect their determination to protect their hard work. That said, […]
Top Five SEO Tips
Originally published as a SEO blog entry Tip #5: Quality Content I mentioned in my semi-satirical ‘Promoting Your Website‘ article that you should: “Have an Opinion” and “Get a Blog, Blog About Everything” and I believe this is part of the quality content thing. Quality content means content that people want to read, and want […]
Jem’s Top Five SEO Tips
Before I get on to the actual point of the post: my new domains have propagated for the majority and you can now get to my site through jemjabella.co.uk, .com, .net and .org. HOORAH. SEO, or Search Engine Optimisation, is the process of optimising your website to increase your rank in search engines (not just […]
Search Terms for this Website
Karl casually mentioned to me earlier that he has received another e-mail from a SAD sufferer, to which I replied that his hits were up because of people looking for SAD information. (Please, no comments on how completely nerdy it is that I know the ‘state’ of our websites at any point in time..) Anyway, […]
Unrequested review of tutorials.delinquente.org
Reviewed: no idea Site URL: tutorials.delinquente.org I was tempted to name this review “how not to do a tutorial site”, but I don’t want to break with tradition. On one hand my super spider-sense says that I’m about to commit a major faux pas by reviewing you because you’re only 13, but hey — if […]
