I’ve created a climbing blog to keep track of what I’m up to in the rock climbing world. I basically need something for myself to remember what I have done and when, so this is it. Take a look, follow if you wish.

When all else fails and your Windows network just won’t behave, nuke it!
Open up the Console (Start -> Run: cmd [Enter]) and issue the following 2 commands.
Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults:
netsh winsock reset catalog
Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults:
netsh int ip reset [log_file_name]

Google, Yahoo! and Microsoft have come together in an attempt to reduce duplicate content in SERPs due to multiple URLs pointing to the same content. The new tag named the ‘Canonical Tag’ allows you to define what the real address of a page should be by providing a META TAG in the HEAD section of a web page. (more…)

So you’ve put together a CSS template with a body background color. We’ll use #4C4C4C. Your CSS template contains a content area that is a different color. We’ll use #000000. In simple form that looks like this:
body {
background-color: #4C4C4C;
}
#content {
width: 700px;
margin: 0 auto;
background-color:#000000;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
Now if your content area is black, wouldn’t it be nice to edit your content in TinyMCE on a black background? Assuming you have TinyMCE importing your sites stylesheet, here is the trick:
* .mceContentBody {
background: #000000;
}
That’s it! Super easy. If you have a better way of doing this feel free to comment.

This is a quick and easy trick/fix for correcting the css min-height problem in IE6. It is pure CSS and does not require any additional div’s. Here’s the code:
selector {
min-height:500px;
height:auto !important;
height:500px;
}
That’s it! This trick should be compatible with: IE6, IE7, Mozilla/Firefox/Gecko, Opera 7.x+, Safari1.2
This is not compatible with IE5.5, but with less than 0.01% of my visitors using it I am not overly concerned about implementing this fix on most sites.
