What a Silly Design Flaw – Missguided.co.uk
I’m not sure who designed this site, but I do know it was only very recently redesigned. They’ve managed to make a very common and very silly error in their design structure, they’ve got a wealth of text, hidden in images. Take a look here or in any of their top level categories, a screen shot is below, clearly highlighting the issue: That’s right the following text is lost, because … [Full Article >> ]
Yoast WordPress Breadcrumbs Plugin
Taking the advice from yesterdays post ‘Google SEO Starter Guide Updated’ on adding a breadcrumb to the sites theme, I remembered seeing a plugin from Yoast.com a few days back.

Google Does Not Use The Meta Keywords Tag
Myth, hear-say or Truth? Truth! Google does not use the meta Keywords tag. Contrary to popular belief usage of this tag for anything meaningful was lost years ago when it got spammed & stuffed by everyone and his dog.

Why You Should Use Magento
Magento has really taken off in the past year or so, but behind the buzz there are some things that really grind my gears and others that make me flutter with excitement. I wanted to begin by highlighting the pro’s and con’s of Magento, but they were too numerous to list together.

The Worst Shopping Experience I ever had Joomla & VitueMart
I’ve got to share this with you, I have seen, used, owned, altered, tweaked, abused and been through enough shopping carts now to spot a bad one, but this took the biscuit and ran away and ate the shop, it was that bad. Lets set the scenario, my dad, far from being anywhere near internet savvy can just about brose the net and check his email. Any shopping cart system … [Full Article >> ]
