Re: Superbrand to the reputation rescue! My #1 SEO tip for Google Reputation Management

Jonathan Dingman — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 17:36:11 -0000

To me, having the anchor text with the brand in it, looks spammy to the user. Is there anything else that can be done to avoid having the same brand anchor text repeated through the links? How about using it in the title= tag instead?

We are linking to our social media profiles already, but we're just using the site's name, like Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, etc.

Re: SSH Brute Force – The 10 Year Old Attack That Still Persists

Jonathan Dingman — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:24:23 -0000

Given that high percentage of attacks on root as the username, that's exactly the reason I disable root SSH login from the get-go. I enable any user that I think needs root access, to su - into root and that alone helps defeat some of the brute force attacks.

Thanks Kevin.

I found a way around it.

I ended up using an index that is shared between files, mapping a number, 1 => 'this', 2 => 'that' and using that 1 or 2 at the end of the ID to hash them using your script.

Works great, thank you!

Thanks for the great set. The download link looks to be broken. Any chance you could get it updated?

Cheers!

Try converting the characters to ascii next time and it should display just fine. http://ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm is a good reference.

Sorry I wasn't clear what wasn't working.

When I'm running alphaid(), it's only running it on $myid rather than the .$othervar as well, so it's outputting the same result each time.

Re: Create Youtube-like IDs with PHP/Python/Javascript/Java/SQL

Jonathan Dingman — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 21:02:39 -0000

Thanks Kevin.

I tried that, but it's not working still.

So it's not the short-id that I want to have _ or - in, it's the value I'm encrypting that I want to accept _ or -

For example, I have

$alphaid = alphaid($myid.$othervar);

And my $othervar would have something like "this_othervar" or "that_othervar" as the $othervar values.

Ah great, thanks Kevin.

I know how to modify the $index, but not sure how I would make it an argument to accept those characters.

I also noticed in the code, functions like is_numeric() etc, wasn't sure if those were impacting if I added non-alphanumeric values to the index.

Re: Create Youtube-like IDs with PHP/Python/Javascript/Java/SQL

Jonathan Dingman — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:50:48 -0000

Is there a way to add another character into the accepted character list? like an underscore (_) or a dash (-)?

Re: Reusable Custom Meta Boxes Part 2: Advanced Fields

Jonathan Dingman — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 23:07:55 -0000

When you build the options array, is there a way to do a nested array inside there, so I can have multiple values for a single option?

example, 'value1', 'value2', 'value3' => 'Label1',

So that way I can use a radio button, and have it reflect multiple different values .. instead of being forced to use 3 different radio buttons just to get each value?

Thank you!

Re: NY Times Hates Google Or Just Simple Reporting?

One thing I find interesting in that article, is that out of all the flower websites mentioned, only 1800flowers.com is linked to.

why would they be singling out just that site to link to. better question, why are they linked to *any* site in that part of the article?

Then they go on to link to some questionable sites, with categories listed like Payday Loans, Retirement Plan, Social Security, DUI lawyers, and more. Obvious keyword spam and article syndication.

I've had my Crumpler bag for coming on 4 years now and it's still in near mint condition. I couldn't be happier with a bad. The durability and ease of use with this bag is amazing.

I would highly recommend a Crumpler bag to anyone.

Thank you so much Tim.

I'm just starting down the path of deciding whether I want to get my MBA or not, having already completed my undergrad in Business, and I stumbled upon this post.

Some great insight, and I really appreciate it.

Thank you Tim.

Re: WordPress Caching Comparisons Part 1

Jonathan Dingman — Mon, 22 Nov 2010 16:31:44 -0000

Great insights Matt. One thing that I've really seen lacking in terms of tutorials and reviews, is the multi-server environment.

Let's say you have two or three web servers, a separate databases server, and a load balancer in front of it.

What kind of optimization setup would you envision for that kind of server configuration?

Would you memcache it all on the centralized database server? What about files? Would you just use a CDN instead and off-load any static content?

How about security for plugin and theme updates?

Would love to see some more come out of you for this Matt, you're a rockstar and you know it!
