I’m trying out Git. Its a distributed version control system originally written by Linus Torvalds. I also looked at SVK and Mercurial but settled with Git since it’s commands made more sense to me.
I was happy with Subversion since 2004. Working alone with my notebook and client servers it has been very useful. Now the [...]
Google Webmaster tools was complaining that my content had duplicate meta descriptions. I found that it was always displaying the blog description on all the pages.
I found quite a few meta tag plugins but I settled for the Improved Meta Description Snippets plugin with a small modification.
I added this else block at line 119 In [...]
Ever since we got google.lk I was wondering how to get into it. Problem is google.lk was only indexing .lk domains. Rightfully so but all my sites are either .com or .info. Crap now what? Well I had a Google Webmaster tools account for my blog’s sitemap. I read somewhere that now you can get [...]
