FiOS WEP Calculator Site is Now Valid XHTML Strict!

I’ve been working on optimizing theĀ FiOS WEP Calculator website for a while now, reducing the sizes of the image files, and reducing the amount of code, in order to get the page to load faster on slower connections. After messing around with the source code for a while, I can finally say that I managed to get the page to be 100% valid XHTML Strict! Having a page that’s valid XHTML is important, since it ensures that the page will work properly in as many browsers as possible. I also took the liberty of adding meta tags for description and keywords, so that the site will look better in search engine result pages.

UPDATE: The site is now extremely optimized in order to reduce page loading time, especially on slower Internet connections, such as dial-up for those of you who still have it.

New “ShareThis” Feature!

I’ve added a new feature to all posts on my site called “ShareThis”. You can now choose to share posts with friends on tons of different social networks and blogs, including Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon, Blogger, and Google Buzz. You’ve probably seen these buttons on, like, every single blog ever written already, and I’m proud to announce that they’re now on my site as well. To try it now, simply click one of the share icons at the bottom of this post. I’m hoping that these share buttons will bring even more visitors to my site. Not only that, but these buttons are also a really fun feature that lets you share posts that you find interesting with your friends. Check it out! The default selection of networks listed under the posts is subject to change, as I may add or remove preset networks based on recommendations from visitors, as well as my own intuition.

Linking Old Posts to the New Site

As part of the process of transitioning to the new website, I’m adding a link to every post on my old website, linking to the new website. This will ensure that visitors notice that my site has been moved, and helpfully bring all of the visitors who continue to visit my old site to the new site, as well as increasing the page ranking of my site in all of the major search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo. This process should be completed within the next few days.

Google Adds Mobile Editing to Docs on Android and iOS Devices

This post is somewhat out of the ordinary, but this is just so cool, I couldn’t help myself from sharing it. Google just released a new feature in Google Docs that will let you edit your documents from any mobile phone running Android or iOS. Not only that, but you can also edit your document while others are editing it at the same time, with “near real-time” updates. This new feature will be available for all users on Android version 2.2 or iOS version 3.0 or greater. Users on Android can also write text using their voice. Check out the following video, it’s pretty cool.
