Time for another guest post. This time we have a guest post from SEO consultant Ry Ryan giving 4 simple tips that might just improve your Search Engine ranking.

Today we have a guest post by Mariana Ashley who has wrote an interesting article on Lorem Ipsum and whether it still has a place in the web design industry.

A tricky subject I came across recently was how to use Triggers in a MySQL database. I always stayed away from them as I thought they were difficult to work with, but it turns out they are much easier than I expected.

To tide us over while we are still sorting our theme out, here is a small tutorial on how to use a small, but extremely useful tool called Putty to help diagnose problems or just monitor things on your server.

A little while ago someone commented on a post asking if I would do a post on the basics of using jQuery within WordPress. I didn’t have time then with so much going on, but finally I’ve found some time to write it. Better late than never I suppose.

You may remember I created a post explaining how to get Nivo Slider working inside a WordPress theme. Well I was recently asked by Andy if it was possible to use Nivo’s custom captions in WordPress too, so here is how to do it.

Following on from the last tutorial, we are going to take a look at how to assemble some slightly more complex queries to filter the results from our many to many relationships.

A fairly difficult subject to approach in MySQL is Many to Many relationships. The queries can be complicated and the data sets huge, but as it seems to be covered by tutorials very little I thought I’d have a shot a writing a tutorial about it.

I have had a few questions recently asking what sub queries are and how they are used. While there are a number of articles out there on the subject they don’t explain it in a detailed manner as I would like. So here is my take on them.

In this post guest author Jonas Bates, who works for Webhostgear.com, takes a look at the sometimes confusing decision website owners must resolve when choosing between purchasing shared hosting and dedicated hosting.

Setting up XAMPP on your computer in fairly easy thanks to the quick installer & control panel that enables you to set Apache & MySQL as services.

Provided your host allows you to, using your htaccess file is extremely important. Without one you can’t have fancy permalinks in WordPress, but did you know you can do all sorts of other cool things with it? Here are some of my favorites.
