Yesterday, we (our agency and most of our clients) received an email from Google with the subject “Your conversions will start using data-driven attribution on or after 8/24/22”. We’ve had a number of questions about this from our clients. So, we just wanted to write a quick article to explain what this means. This […]

Like most major cities, there is no shortage of web designers in Vancouver, BC. In fact, I would argue that there are proportionately more web developers (I use “designer” and “developer” interchangeably although technically they compose different skill sets) here because Vancouver is not a head-office city. The large number of small businesses and branch […]

One of the major headaches for Joomla developers (and all web developers for that matter) is the non-conformities between Internet Explorer versions 6, 7, and 8. Almost anyone that has built a serious website will tell you about the headaches of trying to get a website to look presentable in all browsers and having to […]

OK, I was on the prowl recently to see what kind of Joomla community there was in Vancouver. To my surprise, I didn’t find a single listing on the Joomla User Groups page. Good ol’ Toronto was the only Canadian city listed. So I did some Google searches and landed on a Vancouver Joomla Day […]

Today, twitter is causing some issues with both RokTwittie and SuperBlogger. RokTwittie a sweet little module published by Rockettheme (my favourite template supplier) that shows all of your […]

OK, I had to scour the internet to find bits and pieces to this question. What lines do you need to add to your .htaccess file to get canonical URL’s to resolve properly for a Joomla 1.5 site? Well after an exhaustive search of numerous blogs and chat forums, I managed to add 6 “rewrites” […]

Well, it’s been a few days since I’ve been able to blog. You can blame the warm weather and the hectic end to my MBA term. But I was reminded of my absence when sitting in at a focus group for Small Business BC a few days ago. A number of local small business owners […]

My previous blog post contained some security steps but they are a bit buried. So I thought I’d write a dedicated post about some steps that small business owners can take to securing their Joomla site. The following ten steps will help protect you from most of the low-level security risks that many small businesses […]

I have registered a large number of domains but I occasionally forget to set my whois settings to block my personal information from being displayed to the public. FYI, if you don’t know what I’m talking about, go to http://whois.domaintools.com/ and punch in your website address. You might be surprised to see what comes up. […]

OK, I have been reading through both the Joomlaworks forums and the Rockettheme forum and it appears that a number of people are having the same problem with respect to their Introtext formatting and the spacing and background color of their image files within the Refraction template. After much trial and error, I managed to […]

What a relief at last! Someone has finally pulled together all of the necessary tools, resources and widgets that are now standard in most blogs and rolled it into one tight little bundle called Superblogger. Hats off to the team at Joomlaworks who are diligently working on updates to this budding super-extension. Here’s a little […]
