What?
A quick article on how I displayed feeds from the company's social network pages in one page.

Why?
There are 3rd-party apps that let you do this, some paid, some not. This was for a staff portal so I wanted this at no extra cost. This is read-only so actual editing of the feed would be done on the respective social network's site.

How:
This simply displays the feed... (no write back)

What?
I needed to use these in a template I was working on. Font awesome is a brilliant tool for webdevelopers who want icons that can be any size of any color without compromising on image quality or overhead maintenance. It's basically a font set that has all the icons you would want in a modern website design.

How?
To use this list, you can either:

• Copy the font files to your template folder (my preference) and add the linked stylesheet in the head section of your webpage. I'm selective of what icons I copy over but the full directory can be found at https://github.com/FortAwesome/Font-Awesome:

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css">
  

• OR add the linked stylesheet to the head section of your webpage

  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.4.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

You then add the icon to your webpage using a CSS reference:

<i class="fa fa-facebook-square"></i> My facebook social icon

Further examples are on the following site at https://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/examples/.

The List
This is a copy of the cheat sheet version 4.4. If some icons don't appear on this page, it is because I have only copied over some of the entire directory (the icons I want to use).

What?
There are a lot of articles & posts out there that cover the same topic, but as this took me the good part of an hour just to find out, I'm posting it here so I never have to look for it again.

A client changed their website domain address and wanted any person visiting the old domain to be redirected to the new domain.

Why?
I warned that a 301 site gets removed from the Google directory and true to form Google have removed it. Not sure why nobody believed me when I raised the alarm but hey-ho.

How?
I'm going to show you how to do this with a .htaccess file:

What?
A quick reminder on basic regular expressions.


Match Any Character — Dot
The dot operator '.' matches any single character in the current character set. For example, to find the sequence--'a', followed by any character, followed by 'c'--use the expression:

a.c

This expression matches all of the following sequences:

abc
adc
a1c
a&c

The expression does not match:

abb

So having moved desk from one side of the room to another, I have lost my view of the sea. Oh well, this is where technology has come to the rescue and returned my calming view...

Note: I think this is running in British Summer Time (BST) rather than GMT or it's clock is seriously off. Otherwise it's a picture from the future (see photo timestamps).

So I've started this list to make sure I don't spend so long anymore on debugging code. The aim of this article is to quickly suggest ways of pinpointing the source of the problem:
