Stack Overflow Valued Associate #00001

Wondering how our software development process works? Take a look!

Find me on twitter, or read my blog. Don't say I didn't warn you because I totally did.

However, I no longer work at Stack Exchange, Inc. I'll miss you all. Well, some of you, anyway. :)

comment How do you determine the monetary value of an established domain / website?
@tim well, fair is whatever someone is willing to pay. If nobody is contacting you about the domain, then the value is effectively $0..

comment How can I see what my web site looks like in various browsers?
I think it's OK for the topic to be duplicated here because it is of special interest to webmasters.

comment How can I see what my web site looks like in various browsers?
yes, they are friends of ours -- they also run doctype.com which is in the footer (though likely to get bumped soon)

comment Should I include “www” in my canonical URLs? What are the pros and cons?
yes this is the biggest downside of the "no-www" movement, by far. It is definitely annoying.

comment Which special characters are safe to use in url?
well, instead of "safe characters" I would say "extremely safe characters" -- the spec allows more, but I agree with you that it's better to be conservative here.

comment Adsense - is it worth setting up?
the comments on the blog entry are also highly recommended -- blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/11/… -- particularly "I’ve earned serious money with Adsense in the past (up to almost $10k a month in 2008) and also run developer sites. The answer is.. developers are not a good audience for Adsense!"

comment If I don't want to set any special behavior, is it OK if I don't bother to have a robots.txt file?
sitemaps are only helpful for certain types of websites though, IMO
