Hey thanks for the tool and the mention about the avatar. Yeah I went with sepia tone, why not, right? That picture is actually a picture of me holding my 2nd born on his first day in this world. Somehow I didn't think the picture of a newborn though was what I should put in my avatar. But I think about it every time I see it. Also, thanks for the mention on your blog. I appreciate that.

That picture is actually a picture of me holding my 2nd born on his first day in this world. Somehow I didn’t think the picture of a newborn though was what I should put in my avatar. But I think about it every time I see it.

Also, thanks for the mention on your blog. I appreciate that.

Started to see posts about Google adding “load time ” as one of the metrics in its algorithm.

Makes this post even more important!

Try it out - it works really well. I emailed it to a friend and they tried it out and said they had to change their shorts afterwards LOL. Good point about making sure your web hosts uses PHP. If it doesn't, we certainly offer it. And your comment got me thinking; maybe I'll do up some .htaccess tutorial videos. I see codes all over online, but no one really shows them in videos, which I'm sure newbies would like since they probably don't really even know what a .htaccess file is. Definitely keep my blogs up to date. Always got to be on top of security, ya know. Hi Keith, thanks. Try it out – it works really well.

I shall be giving it a go shortly. A couple of points that may help your readers who have static html sites... First, before you change pages to php, make sure that your hosting service has php on the server you are hosted on. My first site was on a server which was very cheap but didn't have php. Second... use a 301 redirect to direct searches and links for the old html pages to the new php pages. There are lots of articles on the web about how to implement a 301 redirect.
