Google DNS vs OpenDNS

January 12th, 2010

Slow DNS resolving is one of the major causes of browsing slowdowns. The DNS services provided by the ISPs were often crappy and erratic and OpenDNS had emerged as the de-facto alternative. OpenDNS was not without its faults. Though it was rarely erratic, the performance was not blazing fast. Also if OpenDNS did not find a site, it redirected the user to a generic search page. This was not good user experience. Another alternative was the DNS server 4.2.2.2 (owned by Level 3). But this server was not that fast outside United States. Google in its quest to make the internet faster has stepped into the arena with Google Public DNS.

January 5th, 2010

A very basic tutorial on how to convert a static XHTML/CSS template into a WordPress Theme. If you are an absolute beginner at developing WordPress themes then this should help you get started. This tutorial assumes you already have a basic understanding of HTML and CSS. It also assumes you have already built a website in XHTML and CSS and have it ready for conversion. Don’t worry about XHTML vs. HTML, it doesn’t matter for this tutorial. How WordPress Works WordPress works in a rather straightforward manner but it may seem confusing if you are completely new to the concept. WordPress relies on PHP to call on different parts of your content from the database management system it stands on. For example, look in your /wp-content/themes/default/ directory and open the header.php file. As you scroll through the code notice the PHP calls, they start with a < ?php and end with a ?>. Look at line 15 and notice the call for your stylesheet URL: <link rel=”stylesheet” hr..... Read more
