Thanks for this. I have since determined how my app will do this and then moved to a more advanced structure with Vue 2. It's similar to your example and doesn't inject HTML into the DOM.

What is the preferred way in Vue to inject

<alert type="success">Post saved successfully.</alert>

into the DOM from within a Vue instance method? Say after a blog post ajax request comes back as a success?

It's all well and great to have the elements on the page already but in most instances the alerts are going to be a result of something happening in the background.

Re: Password Resets in 4.1

The Laravel generated controller wasn't saving the password hash correctly for me. I tracked it down to the Hash::make() in the RemindersController->postReset() function. It was basically hashing the password during assignment then the Model was hashing it on save. To correct this I just changed this line $user->password = Hash::make($password); to $user->password = $password; around line 58 in RemindersController.php.

Re: A Simple Way to Record and Publish Audio to the Web

I also suggest http://audioboo.fm/ as a great solution. Includes everything you need to produce audio podcasts from Android/iOS/Web for free. It also pipes right into RSS for iTunes for subscriptions without having to add anything on.

Re: Copyright, Content, and Consumption

I will have to admit, I read this article with Readability. Not because I wanted to remove the ads and reduce revenue but because I want to consume the content in the most optimal way for me.

From a content producers standpoint it's the same thing that happened to TV after the VCR invaded mainstream. Initially it was a few outliers who were "skipping past the commercials" but now that it's mainstream the content producers simply shifted (in addition to commercials) to ad placement as content within the shows. I wouldn't be surprised if the content producers on the web figure out a way to do something similar, inject their ads only when the page has been "instapapered".

The shift feels like all the previous that have come before, the xerox machine, tape recorder, VCR, etc. It's not stealing content, it's just capturing it. The author is still the same, the content is the same, just the way it is being presented is altered. It's not like Instapaper or others are taking credit for the content, now that would be theft.

Adding a CC license can help but in the end I believe people will consume content how they want to consume it. These changes happen out of demand, the user experience continues to decay until enough people are fed up and route around it. But people will still consume and pay for original, compelling content. Take concerts as an example, you can watch one on TV, but it's just not the same.

This may be a stretch but the larger discussion about "remixing" content is always on my mind.

Re: 5 Ways You Can Improve Your School’s SEO Right Now

A few other simple things:

1. Use Google Webmaster tools to set a "preferred" domain for your site. In addition to redirecting your pages to either a www or non-www version with a 301 so you don't have duplicate pages being indexed.

2. If you have a little more time and control over your CMS/files ensure each page has a human readable URL. Ex. "/admissions/undergraduate/requirements" instead of "page.php?id=123456"

3. Setup a sitemap.xml files with the list of most updated pages.

Nice Screencast, do you mind if I ask you what application you used to record it? Also what resolution you were at and if you converted it to flv before uploading it to Vimeo to get such clear text?
