Webmaster and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Blog

This isn’t a paid ad or blog post, I’m actually posting this because I love the theme and think it deserves some attention. A website called Custom Theme Design recently released a wordpress theme called Guzel, and the first version was pretty impressive. It has some really neat built-in features, and the actual design is very nice. However not too long ago they took all the feedback and released a new version called Guzel PRO (and no, it’s not a paid theme despite the ‘PRO’ part added to the name).

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

We’ve no idea what Darth Vader eats* for breakfast, but even those strong with the Sith need a good start to the day if they’re to defeat the Jedi and overthrow the Republic. So, thankfully, a Star Wars toaster’s been invented. Although the TIE toaster isn’t as technically advanced as Electrolux’s Scan Toaster, it will toast a perfect image of the Dark Lord onto each slice of bread you pop into the machine’s single slot. The glossy black toaster, which also bears the Star Wars logo on its side, has variable settings, including toast from frozen and reheat. You can also decide how well done you want the bread, which presumably affects the Dark Lord’s darkness. So if you want the Force (Flakes) to be with you each and every morning, the Darth Vader toaster is available to pre-order online now for $55 (£25/€34)

John Williams (born February 8, 1932) is an American composer, conductor and pianist. In a career that spans six decades, Williams has composed many of the most famous film scores in history, including all but one of Steven Spielberg's feature films, Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, E.T., Born on the Fourth of July, Harry Potter, and more. A BIG thank you and all musical credit goes to the a capella comedy group 'Moosebutter', who greatly assisted me in the making of this video.

Best-selling author Michael Crichton has died in Los Angeles aged 66 after a "courageous and private battle against cancer", his family has said. He penned Jurassic Park, as well as books like Congo and Disclosure, all of which were adapted into films. His books have sold more than 150 million copies. He also created the long-running US hospital drama ER. "He will be profoundly missed by those whose lives he touched," his family said in a statement. A private funeral service is expected. Crichton is survived by wife Sherri and daughter Taylor.

Ever since I herd about the study of typography I was fascinated by it. Upon the word “typography” it clicked for me, “how interesting… the study of type, typefaces, and the design that is shaped by it.” On the web we face some typographic challenges and limitations, the typefaces, font smoothing, and control we have over all typographic elements is inconsistent at best. However that hasn’t stopped several great designers from using typography as the only significant element of design on their websites. They found a way to create beautiful and stunning visuals with out complex graphics, shading, color changes, backgrounds, etc… they let the type speak and the results are amazing.

Use with care. o Font specification is problematic. * Unusual caveats may apply. 😉

How to present math­emat­ical expressions using a language that has so little markup for them? You often need to resort to images, but if you need just some special symbols or simple ex­pressions, something could be done in HTML – perhaps assisted with style sheets (CSS).

If it was entirely possible that someone was not aware, it will be election day in the United States by the time we all wake up in the morning. I've been reading a lot about the election for the last several months, but I haven't really written about it. I can count on one finger the number of times that I've ever written about politics and I'm certainly not going to start writing about it a bunch now. It's a little late in the game, if that phrase is proper. However, I did want to express myself about my choice in case anyone was curious.

Finally, after a lot of requests I released the "Daily Inspired" template for all Blogger users for free. This post explains how to customize it. If you have some problems or suggests please add a comment. In the next days I'll update this section with news and new tips about this template. You can download this template (an html file you can customize quickly using, for example, Dreamweaver) at the following link but, first to use it on your blog, read carefully the disclaimer.
