Thank you for sharing, Alex. Interesting experiment, one of those articles to share with the team when someone proposes a non-standard design. Can you share the link to the research? Or did I miss it?

redcrew — Wed, 07 Dec 2016 12:23:06 -0000

Thank you for your post, great tips to improve search engine optimization. My favorite tips are numbers 4 and 6. In fact I would place number 6 as number 1: write useful, relevant content. And write for people, not search engines.

Re: Do You Know These Eight HTML5 Tags?

redcrew — Wed, 02 Mar 2016 07:46:21 -0000

Simon, thank you for the overview of the HTML tags; there are several tags I don't use very often. I liked that you described not only the syntax, but included examples of their usage. The title says 8 HTML5 tags, but there's only 6 tags described?

Re: Toolbox of the Smart WordPress Developer: Instant WordPress

redcrew — Tue, 11 Aug 2015 09:46:44 -0000

Thanks for the review of InstantWP, one of the tools I've used in the
past for creating a local WordPress install. I love that it's easy to use and that it's portable.

There is a way to configure
Instant WP to open in a different browser. Change the setting in the
pms_config.ini file in the iwpserver folder. Change BrowserPath=
../system/InstantWP_GUI.exe to the path for your browser. For example,
BrowserPath= “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe”

Hi Eric,

Thank you for the in-depth analysis of the different related posts plugins. I loved the table comparing the features for each option. With nRelate closing down, I've discovered monetization, personalization, and performance are three key factors people are looking at for related posts.

Re: 20 UX Designers to Follow on Twitter

redcrew — Sat, 23 Aug 2014 11:24:45 -0000

Thank you for sharing your list. I'm very familiar with many of the people on your list, and follow them on Twitter. I was curious how the list was selected. Can you share the criteria? A couple items I noted: the list seems to be very US/UK centered. And there's only one woman included in the list of 20 people.

Re: New analytics solution Hotjar Insights offers free beta access

redcrew — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 07:26:17 -0000

Thank you for the review. Who's behind Hotjar? What country is it located in? There's nothing on their website, which makes it less trustworthy and credible to me.
