Twitter as I explained it to my mom
After talking with my mom (@adiehl on Twitter) about Twitter, the “microblogging” website that asks you to explain “What are you doing?” in 140 characters, it prompted me to write yet another How to Twitter posts, but a less technical and more practical how to get started guide.
Twitter is not blogging. It’s not RSS. It’s not chat.
Twitter is direct: If you want to be part of someone’s life, you follow them. Once you follow a person, you get to see what they update on Twitter. You can respond directly to them. You may read what they are doing, sharing, or discussing. Unless the profile is locked, no one has to accept your request to follow. That means that you are able to become part of anyone’s social network. You have a way to directly communicate with lots of amazing people.
Getting started can be intimidating, but here’s how I got started with Twitter.
How to uninstall Adobe Apollo
Adobe Apollo was the code name for Adobe AIR, which has since taken its place. I’ve been trying to update my Twhirl application, but I was getting a message that I couldn’t update it because it was not made for that version of Adobe Apollo. Well no kidding, it was made for AIR!
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling AIR, but it turns out all I had to do was the following:

Disable Styles and Javascript in Safari with Keyboard Shortcuts – How To
Now Safari’s just as cool as Firefox
ArrayIf you’re a web developer on the Mac, you may be sick of everyone talking about Firefox Addons that do everything but wipe your ass. True, Firefox is a great browser that is very expandable, but I love Safari, and I want to do as much web development on Safari as possible.
The feature that I missed the most in Safari was Disable Styles and Disable Javascript, both of which are super-easily done in Firefox via the Web Developer Plugin. With the advent of Safari 3, disabling CSS and Javascript is as simple as a keystroke combination of your choice!

3 Simple Steps to keyword order SEO – Are your words SEO friendly?

You have a list of people you want to let know about it, and you want to set up a system for tracking responses. In addition, you want to publicize the event the best you can. Here’s how to do it all:

How to get better search results with 5 simple steps
Search Engine Optimization is not voodoo; it directly translates into how well your website performs. The Ignite Matchmaking website was not performing well last September for their main keywords.

- Denver match makers: 2 (up from under 1000)
- Denver matchmaking services: 2
- Denver matchmakers: 2 (up from 284)
- Denver matchmaker: 3 (up from 508)
- Matchmaking denver: 4
- Denver matchmaking: 5 (up from 112)
Currently, I am working with my client Savory Cuisines Catering in Boulder, CO to improve their ranking.
The process I will follow to improve their rank:
There are more than five steps to help place higher in search engines, but the five below are simple and straightforward steps that anyone can take to improve their rank.

Multiple Matte Colors for CSS Sprites
Here’s the problem: I want to use CSS Sprites for transparent images, and they require different matte colors.
ArrayThe promise of CSS Sprites is great: you can combine many small images into one bigger image, and use CSS to reveal only the revelant parts. But what if you have a background image, and the background changes color on :hover? When trying to save the smilies, you can only choose one matte color. I need multiple matte colors!
The issue really is a pain when you have already given your object a stroke. Using the Appearance panel, we’ll make everything happy in the world again!
