Aug 4	comment	Font resizing widgets: worth it? Hell Bobby Jack, if you're going to go to the trouble to refer to something and in doing so insult both this site and my question, you might as well include a link! :-) I went looking and found: uxexchange.com/questions/44/45
Aug 2	comment	Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG But that requires content management system-managed pages, right? The question is specifically about editing a static website.
Jul 31	comment	Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG How is the page included on your website? It seems like this would necessarily be JavaScript or an iframe, which makes the search engine and accessibility implications of this pretty bad. Maybe I'm misunderstanding though.
Jul 31	comment	How to change CSS in a child theme? I think it's possible that it did work, but the CSS you changed did not work as you expected. I would do something more drastic, perhaps add `border: 10px solid #f00;` as well, and see if that has an impact.
Jul 30	comment	WYSIWYG vs. BBC Code vs. Plain Text I'd not seen BBCode abbreviated like that - link - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode
Jul 30	comment	Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG I don't think a WebDAV dependency helps very much, but it's certainly an idea.
Jul 30	comment	Allowing customers to edit static website via WYSIWYG Many others? The only other cms mentioned in this post so far is drupal. Your comment is not helpful or germane to this question.
Jul 28	comment	How to change CSS in a child theme? What we need, is this: area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/1500/wordpress-answers about a year ago!
Jul 28	comment	How can I stop a bot attack on my site? Do you have the `.htaccess` code you posted before or after the main wordpress `.htaccess` rules?
Jul 28	comment	How can I stop a bot attack on my site? Is your `.htaccess` rule intentionally triggering the 404 file? Seems like throwing a plain permission denied error would be less bandwidth usage.
Jul 27	comment	Simple future-proof, backwards-compatible way to play audio mp3 files in-place on the page? SoundManager looks pretty good! And actually incorporates the already accepted answer of using `<audio>`. Great stuff and welcome to Pro Webmasters!
Jul 27	comment	How do I specify the Google sitemap generator destination directory okay, if you are comfortable going against the stated syntax, more power to you.
Jul 27	comment	How do I specify the Google sitemap generator destination directory This will not work sitemaps.org/protocol.php#location , The location of a Sitemap file determines the set of URLs that can be included in that Sitemap. A Sitemap file located at example.com/catalog/sitemap.xml can include any URLs starting with example.com/catalog but can not include URLs starting with example.com/images.
Jul 27	comment	Simple future-proof, backwards-compatible way to play audio mp3 files in-place on the page? It's a standard filetype, but won't think force opening in an external player? My hope was to keep the user on my page and using existing browser resources as the player. This sounds like the same problem with just linking to an mp3, it sometimes (often?) takes the user out of the browser.
Jul 27	comment	How can I prevent a power user from calling my ajax functions? Are the ajax calls completely unauthenticated? Do you create sessions for each? Are there patterns to the abuse? And is the problem specific manipulations or more the amount of load it adds to the site?
Jul 27	comment	How to add SMS text messaging functionality to my website? jessegavin, If you feel like selecting a best answer, feel free to--the bounty ends tomorrow!
Jul 27	comment	Track down segmentation faults in PHP? S.W.: Seems like a problem doubly suited to stackoverflow and serverfault, because the source of the problem is unknown, and could be server configuration related. In cases like this, I argue some place should embrace the question and take a shot. I hate it when people have frustrating questions that can't find a home because each site argues it's "not part of what we do!" It's like getting the runaround from a government agency. Someone step up and help!
Jul 27	comment	Does Internet Explorer 'timeout'? So part of the returned value is an image? Then that potentially complicates the issue because of possible image caching and rendering rules. Complicated! Good luck on a fix, feel free to update your question with an answer if you find something interesting!
Jul 26	comment	Pligg like CMS to create digg like sites Definitely a duplicate webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/1540/…
Jul 26	comment	Track down segmentation faults in PHP? Question much better suited for serverfault.com . I will say Gallery in latest forms seems to be fairly resource intensive. Generally if there is a mechanism to allow it to do caching of SQL queries (latest versions require MySQL) then you're going to have better luck.
