Better Than Notepad: Notepad ++

August 11, 2014

We love this little program. It’s a replacement for Notepad called Notepad++.

It’s like notepad on steroids. Lots of new, useful functions – essentially, everything Microsoft neglected to put into their product,; open source, once again, has provided a better alternative. Easy find/replace functions, even in files so no need to know exactly where the replacing needs to be, the program does all the finding.

We certainly appreciate that the GUI is totally customizable. This allows us to refine how we use the program in so many ways. Syntax highlighting is a great feature as well. It’s difficult to express how much of an improvement of Microsoft’s product this is. There’s really no comparison. Maybe… the difference between a Battleship and a Jon Boat.

In the ever growing app community, Facebook is putting the screws to developers looking to use their vast resources to build their apps. Really, they’re just looking for a little “reciprocity”. But come on, how much do you need? You already own and operate the largest website in

Come On Folks, It’s All About Site Structure, Still!

I like what Jeff Bezos said about your margin being his opportunity. In the same way, for other SEO companies out there, your inattention to site structure is our opportunity. We just wish your clients didn’t have to suffer through it before they come to us to get

Messaging When Switching From iPhone to Droid

Sneaky little issue pops up when you move away from iphone. Other iphone users that previously texted you won’t be able to text you the same way once you switch. This is because when you both were using iphones, the messaging system was not the typical SMS, but

WordPress Experts: Getting Slug by Single_Cat_Title

An interesting problem that I came across in a recent project. The client needed a custom post taxonomy set to a gallery of choices on a featured section of their website. First we needed to add custom post types and category images plugins. Iterating through the taxonomy was
