Google Plus is largely a flop. It's user base only exists because Google forces all of it's Gmail users to have a Google Plus account. There is very little real conversation going on on there, it's all businesses and site owners trying to gain traffic to their sites.

You should at least have a Robots.txt file, even if there is nothing in it currently. Otherwise you may get error messages from the engines in their Webmaster tools. You will need to use it if you have private directories that you don't want indexed publicly, such as if you are developing a new...

There are a lot of factors at play here. You might have your own google account settings set to return only results relevant to your language and location. Even when going to other variations of Google for other countries, Google may recognize your current location and language and personal...

Bing only powers Yahoo's paid search ads from what I understand. And further more, they don't supply all of their paid search ads worldwide, only in certain countries. That relationship was set to expire earlier this year, but they renewed it for one more year. It could be over with as soon as...

I think it's a combination of your web host, your TLD as well as any location information listed on your site itself. Many small businesses may go with hosting companies that are clear across the country from their actual locations, for example - so the address listed on their site as well as...

When you are initially building a web site, it is making sure you are following all the recommended guidelines to ensure your site is accessible and is not violating any policies of the major search engines. Basically checking to see if you aren't purposely or accidentally doing anything that...

It's been proven as being far more stable than any of it's closest competitors. That's not to say the others aren't reliable, but when something like Wordpress is able to power such a huge chunk of the web, that speaks to how dependable it is and flexible.

Adobe also has another tool in the Creative Cloud called Adobe Edge Reflow. It is specifically for creating responsive layouts. It does one thing, and it does it rather well. I would say even better than the responsive layout functionality within Dreamweaver itself. You can create a free...

To me a 10 inch tablet is already pretty small. I would probably want something around that size if I had a tablet, since it would make it easier for me to read articles and such. I had a 7 inch tablet, and I never really saw the benefit of using it over my phone. The jump in size didn't...

I have a touch screen desk top and I never use the touch screen functionality of it. It's more of a nuisance than a convenience most times. The only instance where it comes in handy is when my computer crashes and my bluetooth mouse and keyboard aren't responding. I can at least log in via the...

There is another tool I just found out about. It's another Adobe product, but this one is entirely open source and freeware. It's called Bracket. You can read more about it and download it for free at Bracket.io. In it's current state it's a basic HTML editor for coders. It will show changes to...

A5 HTML5 Animator www.a5-animator.com/ Another product that looks very similar to Adobe Edge Animate, only this app is made for Windows. It's from a German company, so you may need to adjust the language settings on the site first. I downloaded it and played around with it briefly and it...

This looks like an alternative to Adobe's Edge Animate product, and it's for Mac's only I believe. The interface looks very similar to it. Tumult Hype If anyone happens to try this out, I would be interested to hear what your thoughts are on it. I would download it myself but I don't have a...

I've thought about getting a larger TV as well, since I currently have a 37" too, but most of the movies I watch on it are downloaded online so they aren't blu ray quality to begin with. Part of me feels like I would be wasting my money to enlarge an already low quality video. The only thing I...

This is absolutely insane and I can't believe this would actually be legal. What right do they have to spy on people in the privacy of their own homes. I understand it is their property, but that does not give them the right to be watching people on cam while they are getting dressed in their...

This might sound like a no brainer, but make sure you don't have any USB drives plugged into your system. There is a possibility that it might be trying to boot from that instead which is why you are having the problem. I had this issue a few weeks ago with my desktop system. I had forgotten...

Check out OpenSourceCMS.com. It is a large directory of all sorts of open source scripts, and in addition it includes installations of them all that you can try out as both the end user and an administrator. This can save you a lot of time and trouble of installing all of these yourself only to...

A really great resource for learning more about responsive design, as well as design in general is Smashing Magazine: Responsive Web Design Guidelines and Tutorials | Smashing Magazine I would suggest reading through all of those articles to give you a better understanding of how it all works...

It depends on what you are trying to do, there are a lot more options these days. If you are building static web sites that aren't running off of a content management system or blogging platform, then Dreamweaver would be your best bet. I think there are some less expensive HTML editors (and...

If you are familiar with Photoshop and layer styles, the closest equivalent to that in Illustrator would be the Appearance Panel. I would suggest doing some searches for that specifically on Youtube, and get a better understanding of how that works. In some ways it's actually more powerful than...
