Review: Total Cache WordPress Plugin ★★★★

An easy plugin for WordPress that does all your caching for you automatically.

What is caching?

A cache essentially takes a screenshot of your page and keeps it in local memory. When that page is called (by a user visiting it) then it is called up from the cache and not the server. This reduces the amount of load time per page and enhances the users experience. It’s all about speed, you know.

Total cache plugin allows you to set a number of options according to how your website is set up. We have given it only four out of five stars because we see a few areas they could definitely improve on in their interface. Additionally it is not as intuitive as it could be for people who are not all that tech savvy. More detailed explanations and help files would be nice. All in all though, it’s the best cache plugin for WordPress out there today.

Jquery Simple Fadeout

A cute little snippet to show a simple green bar upon a successful edit. <?php if(isset($_GET[‘edit’])){ ?> <div id=’notifyy’> Edited Successfully </div>     <script type=”text/javascript”>     $( ‘#notifyy’ ).show(function(){     $(this).fadeOut(5000);     });     </script> <?php } ?> The CSS: #notifyy{width:100%;background:#2f5001;padding:4px 15px;color:#fff;} Always,

Fraternity Management Has a New Website

Fraternity management needed something up quickly and something that was affordable. Glad to know that they chose us as their Gainesville Web Design team.  Additional to the website they requested a simple program that managed their payment modules.

Better Than Notepad: Notepad ++

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

The Low Down on Net Neutrality

What they heck is it? Most people don’t know it past the slogan .. and that’s what it is, a slogan. Net neutrality does not mean ‘left alone”, there’s nothing laissez faire about it. It does mean oversight, more oversight of the Internet than currently exists. The advocating
