Make Facebook Like Box Faster and Lighter

If you have the Facebook Like box embedded in your website, the good news is that the plugin should have little impact on the performance, or page speed, of your pages. If ou are using some of the older codes you may experience a delay so this post will show you how to make Facebook Like Box Faster and Lighter.

Stoyan Stefanov of the Facebook engineering team shares that the updated Like box is 2-4x faster and is considerably lighter than the previous version. The Facebook Like plugin now loads in 0.5 seconds, as opposed to 2.3 seconds and while the previous version was 245KB in size, it now weighs a mere 46KB.

Best Google Fonts

Best Google Fonts


I recently wrote about how to add Google Fonts to your WordPress site and that led me to share this post on the best Google Fonts. Of course, this list is just based on my opinion, however the popularity of these fonts and their consistent use across the web implies the list has some worthy selections. So here goes my top 10 Google Fonts:

1) Open Sans


Open Sans was designed with an upright stress, open forms and a neutral, yet friendly appearance. It was optimized for print, web, and mobile interfaces, and has excellent legibility characteristics in its letterforms.

Thoughts on being a Newbie Daddy (2nd time around)

Second Time Newbie Daddy


Feels like a Noob Again


On June 10th, 2013 (almost 2 weeks ago) my son Ivan Maximus Chiong was born.


newbie daddy,

Being that I already have a daughter Esmeralda Jolie Chiong born October 23, 2010 ( she is now 2 yrs and change) this should be easy to do. Or one would think it would be easy to take care of a newborn baby. Some people (like myself - a newbie daddy) have difficulty with newborns like giving them a bath or doing other things ( that with their delicate little bodies) you must be extremely careful.

Well anyway here we are again:

Best Permalink Settings in Wordpress for Optimized Traffic

wordpress, permalink settings, permalink structureelegant themes, wordpress themesWhat is a Permalink?


Permalink is a portmanteau of permanent link because it’s just that, a link to a specific post or page that will not change and will not suffer link death. Having the best permalink settings can improve how a search engine finds your site. By default, a WordPress permalink looks like this:

http://www.example.com/?p=14





 

This it the “permanent link” to a particular post on your site. It’ll always be there so long as you don’t delete it. Obviously, you want to swap out the 14 for your post ID and example.com with your domain.

A permalink is meant to be permanent because it will always point to a specific item of content, never changing. Whereas the homepage and different archive pages will change as new content is posted, the permanent link will always access the post or page that is defined in it’s body. These are handled in different ways and some CMSes, like MediaWiki, have a timestamp in their permalink so when the wiki’s page is edited, the permalink still links to the version at the time it was created.

However, http://www.example.com/?p=14 isn’t what we’d call “human-readable” because, unless you know your entire database of posts and each one’s associated ID, you can’t interpret what it means other than it points to some post on that domain. So, WordPress has a solution in the form of “pretty” URLs that can easily be interpreted by a regular ol’ human.
