Published: 7/27/2018 12:00 AM

Description

Some of the objects in the structured data of the site are causing me issue. Namely the itemlist object. I am going to dig through the schema.org page and anything else I can find to see if I can address the issue that is being reported by Googles Structured Data Testing Tool.

Search Engine Audit of the Search Engines

Published: 7/25/2018 12:00 AM

Description

On accident, I brought up the Google Chrome DevTools on a tab containing the Bing Search homepage. Before I knew it, I had run a full audit on Bings search page. When I looked at the results, I thought, "Crap, what did I do!" The results weren't great, but they also weren't mine. For fun, I decided to run an audit on the google and bing search pages. Interesting!

Description

The speed increase from enabling gZIP compression on a website is a must. It's been a while since I have journeyed in to the world of Apache, which I am pretty sure what 1 and 1 is utilizing. Time to see what I can do through the htaccess file or control panel to enable gzip compression.

TinyMCE - Free WYSIWYG editor

Published: 7/19/2018 12:00 AM

Description

TinyMCE has been around for a long time as a full featured "what you see is what you get editor". It's been a few years since I have used it, so I think it's time to check it out again. Somewhere there was a reference to the release of a cloud based version with additional features. I hope there is still a free community version.
