How to make google only look at lower case url for sites hosted on windows IIS Server, fixes duplicate title tags in Webmaster Tools error

by Shawn Hyde 17. May 2012 03:52

This method can be used to fix duplicate content errors and make it so google only indexes one version of your urls, which will prevent you from getting a negative modifiers.

In order to do this you have two options.

  1. Use the proper canonical tags, for example place the following code at the top of your website:
  2. Use the following script to automate the process and only allow lower case urls to be viewed on your site, create a global.asax file and place it in your site's main directory. 

If you plan to use both methods be sure to use only lower case for your canonical tags or you will end up with problems.

Election 2012, Position of President of the United States of America going once, going twice, sold to the highest bidder!

by Shawn Hyde 15. May 2012 22:37

How much money, bribes and fraud does it take to win an election these days anyways?

This article is a work in progress about the election process of 2012, candidates, media blackouts and behind the sciences action to becoming the next president of the united states of America.

It started out like any other year perhaps a bit early with a full house in the GOP looking for the GOP party nomination.

The first vote at the IA Caucus is when things became clearly different from past elections. Vote count discrepancies, voter adjustments and more.

Only four candidates remain, things get a bit hairy with attack ads and name calling. Are these candidates for president or a kindergarten class?... wait, sorry for the insult kids, you kindergarteners act much better than most of these candidates.

Only two candidates remain, yet the media and GOP appear to be blind to their 12 term congress man from Texas.

Little news of the process and delegate count at this point from the larger media sources, other than the occasional romney preemptively declared primary winner.

 

 

How much money does it take to win an election? (as of 05/15/2012)

Ron Paul has WON even without the GOP's nomination for president in 2012.

by Shawn Hyde 6. March 2012 23:03

First you must understand how the political system really works, then you will see how Paul's inspiration of a whole new generation of voters has netted him a win regardless of media bias and the continued war propaganda. In the end its about the people, how many of them hear the message and how well it resonates with them.

If you have ever been to a Ron Paul speech you know what I'm talking about.

This generations new voters are much different than new voters have ever been in the past. What has motivated them you ask?

Simply put, they don't see the promise of the American Dream ever coming true for them. With out of control inflation, huge school loan debts, so many fighting for the little number of good job openings, lies in politics and government has put them in a position where they are looking for something honest and consistent. Ron Paul has filled this need for many new voters. A generation lost in the propaganda of it all.

These new voters are comprised of highly motivated individuals that are dedicated and willing to put forth the effort needed to make major changes in government and our political system. The see hope in the message and look forward to a better United States. With tens of thousands of new voters turning out to hear him speak about:

  • Freedom
  • Sound monetary system
  • Undeclared wars
  • Personal rights
  • Less tax and spending by the federal government
  • Returning rights back the people and states
  • Smaller federal government
  • NDAA (gives the president the ability to assassinate US citizens as well as detain and hold them indefinitely without legal representation for any reason)
  • The Constitution

The odds are looking pretty good for the revolution.

In the coming years all of these young voters that are turning out to support him will be the people making a change for the better in our government and the political system that so desperately needs a change.

Ron Paul has started a revolution in the minds of many igniting a burning desire to change things for the better here in the United States where the "Golden Rule" will no longer be booed, people can make decision for themselves and the constitution is once again the rule of law in this great land we call home.

In the end Ron Paul is going to win and neither the GOP, DNC nor the general establishment can do anything about what he has started this year. 2012 will be the end of an era. I look forward to what is next, an era of peace, prosperity, technological advancement, but most importantly an open minded society where people have the right and freedom to live as they please as long as they do no harm to another.

You have outsmarted the establishment in so many ways.

Well done Dr. Ron Paul and Congratulations on your victory.

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified

by Shawn Hyde 2. March 2012 00:03

If you are getting this error:

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

First check that you have Microsoft.Web.Extensions.dll and Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll in your bin folder. Also check that you are using the correct version of .net in IIS.

If non of these solutions work then verify that if application is in a folder other than root you make this folder an application in IIS. Right click folder "convert to application".

How to target Safari only using CSS and Javascript while keeping your page W3 compliant and completely valid

by Shawn Hyde 29. February 2012 00:17

Here is a neat little trick you can use to target Safari and make it behave while fixing cross browser layouts. This method will allow you to keep a page valid and it will allow you to only target Safari.

First thing you want to do is use javascript to inject a css file for all browsers that support webkit with this code: 

Now, like I stated above this will target all browsers that currently support webkit and add support for it in the future so you cannot rely on only this. So now you need to create the css file and add some code that is Safari specific by using the double # method. Some people will ask, why not just include the double # to begin with? And the simple answer is that it will cause your CSS not to validate.

Here is the example css code that will target only Safari

Enjoy!
