Debug and fix the z-index bug in IE6 and IE7

Internet Explorer 6 and 7 has a really really annoying bug that makes it really hard to use z-index.

Signing a request to set up a custom Amazon CloudFront Distribution with C#

I love most of Amazon’s Web Services (AWS). CloudFront is their CDN service and they have an awesome feature that lets you host your files on your server and then Amazon automatically grabs the files from your server and puts them on their CDN. This makes it possible to easily modify your files without having

Use your IIS logs with WCAT

I just want to write this down so I do not forget it. I found this article that describes how to convert your IIS logs to a script that you can run with WCAT. http://theether.net/kb/100128 I had to change the HOST header to the script that was generated. And as you can see you can

SEO: How the Panda update affected AlternativeTo

This Monday we noticed a sudden drop in traffic from Google.com on AlternativeTo.net. I and my colleague have tried to figure out why all week and finally we found the answer.

Issues when you upgrade WordPress plugins and core on ISS 7.5

I have had lots of issues with upgrading WordPress plugins and the core WordPress engine on my IIS 7.5 server. The problem has been that you try to upgrade the plugin, you get a fail notice AND the plugin is simply disabled and you lose permission to the folder where the plugin was located. Then

Using an external SMTP server to send mail via different addresses in Gmail

There is an awesome feature in Gmail that makes it stand out from many other webmails and it’s that you can specify an external SMTP server so that you can send mail from other e-mails. I understand this is an advanced feature that not so many people use but it has a major flaw. If

MS SQL: Saving changes is not permitted if the table needs to be re-created

This is a classic. Microsoft SQL Server 2008 introduced a feature that prevents you from changing a table in the designer if it needs to be re-created. And whenever I get this I always forget where to turn this feature off. This time I recorded a 14-sec video that shows where this option is. Enjoy

Entity Framework Scaffolding: The type is not mapped issue

Creating an empty/blank text widget for WordPress without additional markup and divs

WordPress provides a simple text widget that you can use on your blog to add some random HTML, Ads, images, and so on. But I have one problem and that is that it’s always adding some extra HTML like this. <div class=”widget”> <div class=”textwidget”> </div> </div> Sometimes you do not want this code if you

I have a really weird issue with Internet Explorer 9 and my Visual Studio Color Scheme. Each time I start IE9 some of the colors in my IDE are changed. I have no idea why this is and hopefully, I can find some other person who has the same issue? I suppose it has something
