Not only am I an SEO, I’m fairly good at webdesign as well. With webdesign I mean the translation of a nice idea by someone else into completely valid templates, others are often better in creating nice looks for a site. I’ve started my own webdesign company on the side for this: AlthA Webdesign.
Next to webdesign, I do a lot of web development using PHP, mainly using the different API’s of the search engines and social media networks out there to create mash ups.
Sortable table v1.5
I’ve just updated my sortable table script to version 1.5, in which it is fixed to work in Safari for Mac OS X 10.4 as well, (I didn’t even know that it wasn’t working in there since it always worked in the nightly). I’m now taking new feature requests for this script, so hit me [...]
FeedBurner history comparison
When I was working on my FeedBurner history graph tool, I thought it would be cool to be able to display the growth of a blog relative to some other blog as well, so i came up with the idea of “just” plotting a few other lines next to each other, showing how they performed [...]
Cool FeedBurner schwag
I got some nice stuff in the mail today, a gift from FeedBurner’s Jessica Graeser, because they liked my FeedBurner graph so much. Check it out:
Playing with the del.icio.us Web Badge JSON API using PHP
Niall Kennedy wrote on his blog that The Yahoo Developer Network provided a short preview of the soon to be released del.icio.us webbadge. From this preview you could see an endpoint and a parameter, so Niall tried and it worked for everyone. That inspired me to make this fast PHP implementation of it, using the [...]
FeedBurner down?
As I logged in to my Mint stats this morning, I saw that FeedBurner had registered 0 feedreaders for both yoast.com and www.css3.info. Now I know for a fact that that isn’t true, and indeed, one the support forums it seems that more people have this problem. Update: it seems this problem was solved within [...]
Greasemonkey auto-update notification
One of the biggest advantages of an extension over a GreaseMonkey script is the possibility of automatic update notification for the user. For my Greasemonkey statistics detector I’ve been looking in to a way to provide automatic update notification, without having to “phone home” on each use of the script. It’s not finished yet, but [...]
Technorati Greasemonkey script removed
In response to my previous post about unlimited API queries, I was urged by David Sifry, CEO of Technorati, to contact the Technorati developers and work out a way to get my script working through the API. I then contacted the developer team and got a great fast response from Ian Kallen, and we’ve been [...]
Web 2.0 and APIs: the case for Unlimited queries
Every self respecting search engine has one, loads of other sites have one, and lots of people are using them to make great new stuff: Application Programming Interfaces or API’s. There’s a big ‘but’on some of them though…
FeedBurner API fun
I’ve had some fun with the FeedBurner API in the past days, creating a graphic simulation from a blog’s feed-readers history over the past year. It’s rather elegant, I think, as it creates graphics which you can easily insert into your pages or posts, and will automatically update each time they’re loaded. An example: Want [...]
Favicons and your online brand
One of the nicer things to have changed with the release of IE7, which is now in automatic updates, is the way it handles favicons. In the IE6 past it would show them in the location bar only when you had the site bookmarked. Now it always shows them, and in the tab bar as [...]
