XML Sitemap PHP script
Recently, while working on the site for my father in law (in Dutch), I wanted to create an XML sitemap for the many publications on his site, that are downloadable PDF’s. I regularly add PDF’s to his site too, and since I’m a tad bit lazy I don’t want to keep updating the XML sitemap. So [...]
Daily deals site for web professionals – Mighty Deals
This is a sponsored review. With more daily deals sites than you can shake a stick at, one has to come up with some pretty good stuff if I’m not going to be bored as hell and click away immediately, even when they order a sponsored review. I’m pretty darn busy and daily deals sites only cause [...]

There is one question about SEO which seems to be coming up time and time again, so let me answer it now and be done with it. Meta Keywords are useless. No search engine uses them for any real rankings. That is why by default, there is no meta keywords input field in my WordPress [...]
Web Intents from Twitter

Highlighting WordPress authors in search
Amidst all the news about Google+ and Google social interaction tracking (and yes I will work on & post about that too), Google released some other news today. They said they’re going to be highlighting authors in the search results. I think this is an awesome feature. It means that you’ll see a picture / avatar [...]
Optimising the Facebook Open Graph Protocol
A small note from Joost first: I’m working on a project with Alex Moss from Pleer. He knows an awful lot about the Facebook Open Graph protocol, in fact he did a couple of pretty good plugins for Facebook comments and buttons etc. I asked him to do a guest post about Open Graph here, [...]
Clicky Analytics (getClicky) Review: clean, simple, effective
In my post last week about social buttons, I included code samples for Clicky Analytics. I got some emails asking me why I use Clicky and Google Analytics alongside each other. In this review I want to show you some of the cool features I use from Clicky Analytics (aka getClicky) that make me use [...]
Social Buttons: Adding them to your site & Tracking them
I’ve had a lot of questions recently (like literally, several a day) on how I implemented the social buttons in WordPress, whether I was using a plugin or using a theme. First of all I’m glad to see all of you noticing my social buttons section so much. Second, I’d love to share with you [...]
