    Should I add a forum to my Wordpress blog?

    Are you getting a enough traffic to your site to warrant it? If you are barely even getting any comments on your blog posts, you will likely not get much participation in a forum either.

    What plugins help with ad placement on a Wordpress blog?

    Here is a whole bunch of them: Advertising | CodeCanyon I'm sure there are some free ones out there as well, but I prefer to use the commercial plugins in many cases as they are generally supported more and stick around longer.

    How do you transfer a Blogger blog to Wordpress?

    Generally speaking, you would export all of your posts into a file from Blogger then import them into a Wordpress installation via the import feature. The tricky thing is if you have images embedded in your posts. Those pictures may have been hosted locally, or you may have been hotlinking them...

    Question with Better WP Security?

    I use a dedicated plugin for backing up my Wordpress installation and database, it's called WP Clone, and it is really easy to use. One thing I would strongly suggest, is doing some test restores from backups to make sure the plugin works as stated. I ran into this issue with another backup...

    Terrific Statistical/Analytics Plugin

    Thank you for sharing this, I will have to look more into this to understand how it works compared to Google Analytics. This sounds like an interesting tool, but you also need to make sure the business definitions of what it's reporting match up to Google Analytics or any other analytics...

    Advantages and disadvantages of Windows Phone

    Wow, those are some pretty big issues listed under the Disadvantages. I had no idea you couldn't multitask on Windows Phones until recently. That's also kind of crazy there is no file system or USB mass storage. I would return the phone immediately if I discovered this after purchasing it. I'm...

    Bluetooth

    It's a useful technology, but I wish it weren't so buggy and cumbersome to use. That is why I never used those Bluetooth ear pieces for my cell phone, because by the time I fumbled around with them and got them to work, the person calling me would have hung up. My Bluetooth mouse and keyboard...

    Difference between 32bit and 64bit operating system?

    I think one of the main things is that 64 bit environments as well as 64 bit apps can handle much larger file sizes. 32 bit apps have limits on file sizes. This may not be much of a big deal for something like creating documents in Word. But if you are doing stuff like video editing, where file...

    How to code a web cam script?

    You should probably go with a commercial web cam service that will allow you to send a feed to their servers then let them broadcast the feed for you. They will be better suited to handle large amounts of traffic and it will be a lot less strain than trying to serve video to all those users off...

    What was your first web project?

    My first big web projects for other people were a personal site I designed for my teacher in college, and a test site I designed for a local ISP which got me hired there as their web designer. When I was in school taking some classes in web design, one of our final projects was that we had to...

    Javascript

    Javascript is useful and pretty widely supported in all browsers. Only a small percentage of people have javascript disabled, so you don't need to worry too much about that. It seems that JQuery has become pretty popular these days too. However, something else to keep in mind is that you can...

    Recommend a site to learn HTML

    I really enjoy a lot of the tutorials at WebDesignTuts The Best Way to Learn HTML | Webdesigntuts+ They have a whole network of other sites as well with tutorials on other stuff such as Illustrator, and Photoshop. Css-Tricks.com is a great site and forum for advanced CSS techniques. They can...

    Advantages of blogging in wordpress?

    Building your own content management system from scratch is a pretty big project - especially if you want to get it up to the level of functionality that Wordpress has. Keep in mind Wordpress has been in development for over 10 years now. If you are really interested in coding I would suggest...

    Commenting on popular blogs vs commenting on smaller blogs

    I would shoot for something in between. If you are posting on a really large site such as Huffington Post or CNet, your comments will likely get drowned out by other new comments. They will only be on the first page for a very short period of time. Beyond that, people aren't probably going to...

    Favorite forums software?

    I'm starting to like Vanilla Forums as a free option. It appears to be based off of the Twitter Bootstrap (I'm only guessing due to the fonts used in it). It seems to be rather lightweight but full featured. I've found it pretty intuitive to use without the typical boxy feel you get from a lot...

    What is mainly Illustrator for?

    Working in Vector based design is a very different process from working on Raster based images. Hence the two different products. Trying to combine all of the functionality of both into a single program would be a bit of a nightmare since the menus would be completely cluttered and functionality...

    java script turned on/off?

    You could use Google Analytics, but it requires some extra work since their default tracking tags need Javascript to run right out of the box, otherwise GA doesn't see the user at all. There's some more information about it as well as some other alternatives mentioned here: How to Track Website...

    Any Good Free Web Editor/Designing Tools Like Dreamweaver?

    Microsoft is giving away Expression Web for free now. They stopped developing it recently and just made it available to the general public. Back when it first came out, I think it was trying to be a Dreamweaver competitor. It's not exactly the same as DW, but it did get some decent reviews.

    Remote Access Server

    Is this different from a RAT or Remote Access Tool? People use to use these (and still do I guess) to hack and spy on other people's computers. One really popular one in the late 90's early 2000's was called SubSeven and became pretty notorious for the havock it caused on people's systems.
