Webdesign survey
It’s up again, the annual webdesign survey by A List Apart, I took it, and so should you! (If you don’t like surveys do it for the prizes…)
The meaning of “de Valk”
Another great query found in my 103bees account “what does devalk mean?”. Well, this one is simple. “de Valk” is “the falcon” in Dutch. If you’ve never seen one, this is an example of a peregrine falcon, one of the most beautiful species within this family of birds. A few other nice members of the [...]
Serving XHTML as application/xhtml+xml
When you’re coding XHTML, you should deliver it as application/xhtml+xml. The problem is however, that once you do that, IE 6 & 7 break horribly… For your pages to render properly in those browsers, you’d need to set the mime type to text/html. Some very bright people have thought this problem in the past and [...]
Showing subcategories on WordPress category pages
I wanted to show the subcategories for a given category on it’s category page in the sidebar, but somehow the code for this wasn’t readily available. Basically you need to check whether there are any children, and if there are, list the categories with the current category as a parent or grandparent. The following code [...]

WordPress subpages going supplemental: the fix
I noticed that the subpages for my blog (you can find links to them in the footer of this page), were all going supplemental. This wasn’t really surprising as those subpages were displaying exactly the same as the frontpage: 5 full posts and a “next” and “previous” link to the next pages. This meant that [...]
WordPress 301 redirect
For all you developers out there building WordPress plugins or coding in the core of WordPress, this is the “proper” way of doing a 301 redirect in WordPress: Easy isn’t it? Now go off and USE IT. I’m seeing way too much people who forget to add the “,301″, and stick with the default, which [...]
How to get Google to crawl your site faster
Yet another question out of my referrers to answer: “how can i get google to crawl my site faster”. There are two possible reasons why Google is slow in spidering your site. The first might seem obvious: if Google doesn’t find enough (quality) links pointing to your site, it doesn’t think your site is very [...]
Why I blog
Yet another blog meme has been going on all over the web, and I was guessing it was going to be my turn sometimes in the near future. Steven Bradley (aka vangogh) tagged me this time. You might remember the previous “5 things you don’t know about me” blog meme, this is sort of the [...]
NoIndex for RSS feeds!
As regular readers might recall, I wrote a guestpost on SEOEgghead asking for an equivalent of “noindex, follow” for RSS feeds. Now it seems the search engines have been listening a bit, or at least have been thinking in the same direction… In a post about preventing duplicate content with your feeds (which I encountered [...]
