If you send an email and you put all the recipients in the TO: field you expose all the emails addresses to everyone on the list. Although you hopefully do not have any clients that would use this information maliciously it is also considered bad etiquette, and Netiquette (Internet etiquette)

The easy solution is to put an address in the TO: field that you own, and then BCC (Blind CC) the rest of the recipients therefore keeping the email addresses hidden from each other.

For some unknown reason this product came back into my vision over the past weekend and the pieces fell into place to resolve the problems.

So I have modified the original and fixed the problem with the mandatory signed request.

A working copy can be seen at CyberCoder Amazon Store

It can be downloaded from Amazon Simple Store in PHP with Mandatory Signed Requests , I do charge a $9.95 fee to download from my site. And yes, I know, everything should be free, but some of us have to make an income from our work.

However, since it is so easy to solve I have always recommended using hypens and not underscores as seperators. If you use WordPress it automatically uses hypens as it’s main separator so you can let it build your “slug” for you.

Here is the latest video I could find of Matt Cutts explaining it again. And I think he does a great job of not only explaining how it works, but why it works.

Underscores vs. dashes in URLs

It is a WordPress blog about Classic Rock.

The domain is 4 years old  and has a Google Page Rank of 3. It needs some work as it gets 1,000 visitors a month.

I am cleaning house and I would like to find it a new home as I just do not have time for it anymore. If you are interested you can contact me via my contact form and I will be glad to give you more information and the link.

There are several plugins you can install that will do different things with these links, however, the simpliest method is to apply a # to the link. From the Admin sidebar, select Menus. Under Custom Links insert a # in the URL, and give the menu item a Label. Add the custom menu item to the menu and then place your children links under it.

Now from any page the Top item will have a link, but it will simply stay on the current page.

Although the standard RSS feed file in WordPress contains the author if you view the RSS feed you will not be able to see the Author name through standard readers as it is not converted.

A good example is to look at a WordPress feed that uses Google Reader and you will not see the Author listed.

One solution of course is to change the WordPress Feed files, however, if you do this every time you update WordPress your change will get written over. The easier and better solution is to add the small snippet of code below to your WordPress Themes function file.

function wp_titlerss($content) {
global $wp_query;
$content = $content." by ".get_the_author();
return $content;
}

add_filter('the_title_rss', 'wp_titlerss');


Once I rebooted I would receive the error “Failure Configuring Windows Updates”. This seemed to be an infinite loop as I tried to restart the machine several times to configure the updates.

There are 2 steps I took to resolve the issue easily.

• Remove any memory cards from the built in card reader.
• Initiate the update manually from the Control Panel -> All Control Panel Items -> Action Center

This solved the problem immediately and the system was updated and configured correctly

• I have similar tastes as me
• I follow the same type people as me
• People who follow me, might also be following me. (will this cause paranoia)
• I should keep up with what I am doing
• When I traveled a lot I once thought I passed myself in an airport terminal.

Let’s say you do a search for Acoustic Guitar Pickups, and the search results give you the first 10 results. Now, are you going to click +1 here? Why would you, you have not seen the site yet. So, let’s say you go to the first result and it is perfect match for what you needed. Will you go back and click the +1? Probably not. And if you went to a page and it was a bad match, you would go back and check out another listing, but once again, you would not have a reason to click the +1.

Until +1 is on an actual page it is really not very helpful.

Being on the search results page it is almost guaranteed that most the clicks on the +1 icon will be people trying to game their own results. This will only help once Google adds the +1 to their signals to rank pages, which is not in place yet.

So, is +1 useless as it stands right now?

To switch between accounts, click on the Account pulldown box at the top left of your page, from here you can select “Use Facebook as Page”, or “Switch back” to your personal account.

You do have to be careful, if you do not switch back your profile you may find yourself posting via the wrong account.

One of the extra benefits to this is that you can now see who has liked your page last.

If you login to one of your Fan Pages at the top left there are icons for Likes and Notifications, if anyone has liked your page since the last time you were logged into the page you can click the Like icon and see who the new members are.
