How to add a Paypal form to DNN.

How to add a Paypal form to DNN.

The only thing that surprised me this weekend more than the fact that Papa Johns were still running deliveries in crazy snow (kudos), was the fact that DNN doesn't make it easy to insert a Paypal form into DNN.

How to backup your Twitter, Facebook, Gmail etc.

How to backup your Twitter, Facebook, Gmail etc.

logo

It’s been around for a little while now but yours truly just came across it and thought it deserved a mention. In this crazy world of social media it’s easy to forget that you are pumping a lot of information into your Online social tools and all in all, if your online data is important to you, Backupify is an easy way to get it back should anything go wrong. Backupify works with Twitter, Google Docs, Wordpress, Gmail, Facebook, Zoho, Delicious, Flickr, Basecamp, Photobucket, Blogger, FriendFeed and more.

Obviously data you generate today is not stored on your computer. Granted, it is unlikely that an Online service will simply lose your data, just as it is unlikely that your hard drive will crash if you are good at up keep etc. however it can and does happen all the time. Hackers target these social mediums obviously and so it might be worth considering using something like Backupify.

Backupify uses the Amazon cloud to backup your data and the nice thing about this is that should Backupify prove to be a flash in the pan (which seems unlikely) then your data has been stored on a titan of the Internet … and we’d have to hope they make their own backups .

How To Include Only Specific Referral Sites In One Google Analytics Profile

How To Include Only Specific Referral Sites In One Google Analytics Profile

Here's the scenario: You're using Google Analytics and have been assigned the task of separating a slew of different traffic sources. This includes PPC, Organic, Direct, and Referral. The first three are very straight forward: a new profile with a basic include filter. However for referral, you need to get more specific. In this case, you want to breakdown individual affiliate referral sites. Once you've done that, you want to categorize them based on Daily Deal sites, coupon sites, etc.

Help Haiti

Help Haiti

You can make a difference even just by making Google code available on your site

On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. It's easy to sit back and almost ignore the news reports. In most cases neither you nor people you know have been directly affected, however, as of this moment, estimates of the numbers killed in the Haitian earthquake range from 50,000 to 200,000. Did you know that's about the population of Richmond, VA? It might be a cliche at this stage but even $1 can help and might be the difference in saving another Life. You can join recovery efforts mobilizing around the world to assist earthquake victims and your donation will help disaster victims rebuild their lives and their communities.
