Web Safari at Giraffeweb

Someone on one of my lists sent a link to this article: https://www.thepaypalblog.com/2009/02/a-new-internet-vulnerability-and-tips-to-keep-you-safe/. The article highlights that there may be a ‘middle-man’ between you and the ’secure’ website you are browsing. It offers a few tips to make sure you are really connected securely, but to me the most important is that the article mentions having the latest version of your web browser.

Yes, I still have IE6 on this laptop because my server logs show it still very highly ranked as the browsers that are visiting my client’s websites, but I have IE7 on all the other systems we have, as well as the latest version of Firefox.

I also have an entirely different reason for wanting the browser to be upgraded. As web developers, we are constantly having to deal with client’s websites displaying properly in the various versions of browsers out there. Not only do we check the sites in IE7, but IE6, Firefox 3 and Safari. If we really want to torture ourselves, we also look at the site in Opera.

I believe it was about this time last year that Google decided to allow you to add users to your Google Analytics accounts (as long as they have a Google Account) so you could share the statistics with your clients. The e-mailed PDF’s just did not do justice to the information that I wanted to convey to clients. So, at this time, every new site we created, or updated, we started to add Google Analytics.

About 2 months ago, we maxed out on the number of website profiles we could have in our account. ‘Maxed out?’ my cohorts exclaimed. Yes, it appears that you can only have 100 profiles. However, you can have more than 1 account in your Google Analytics accounts, so we used one of our ‘extra’ domain names to create another account, and started adding profiles to this account. We have just about maxed out this new account now, so it will be interesting to see how many of these master accounts we can have.

This is a new launch for the Barrett Mackenzie, LLC, law firm. After somehow losing their previous website to the internet black hole, the firm wanted to showcase their practice areas and the partner’s backgrounds so individuals who need their services can see the dedication and experience of the attorneys in assisting individuals and families with criminal defense and family law matters. In addition, the firm specializes in litigation and appeals and mediation.

I am so happy to see the MS Word Insert option in
Wordpress.  This is going to make my life, as a web developer, so much easier to help clients update their blogs!
