I just got a new phone, a T-Mobile Blackberry 8120 with WI-FI…off of ebay of course, and I have my phone unlocked using it on my AT&T plan. My old phone, a Blackberry 8100, served me well for two years but it was just time for an upgrade. The new 8120 is great, it feels and looks alot more sturdy and works great so far. Until I ran into a couple of problems.
Google Analytics Secrets! – Part 1
September 18th, 2009 by Walt 3 comments »Google Analytics is a great tool for web developers/Site Admins but there are some features that are a little harder to find than most. I will be doing a mini series on Google Analytics going over some of it’s cool features.
Part one of this series is about Google’s click site overlay. What is it you ask? Good question! Google calls it “Site Overlay” according to them it is “Click data on top of your website”. To be a little more in depth I would say it is a click map of your site. It shows your site with an overlay that has an info bar over each internal link on your site. The info bar gives the percentage of times that link has been clicked in proportion to all the other internal links. When you hover over it with your mouse it tells you how many times that link has been clicked and where it links to.
Godaddy and Gzip Support
September 8th, 2009 by Walt 5 comments »I found out today that Godaddy doesn’t support Gzip compression. After months of trying to get Gzip or any other type of compression to work I finally broke down and emailed support (I hate contacting support because they never seem to answer my question). Here was my conversation with them:
Hello,
Is the mod_gzip module installed and enabled on my server? What version of Apache is installed?
