Creole – Standard Wiki Markup Language

If you’ve tried out several wiki engines, you have probably noticed that the developers of each of them have invented their own wiki markup language. I guess no-one has a problem with that. It’s a free world after all. However, all these different versions of markup languages easily become a pain when you have to [...]

Move comments to another post in WordPress

Moving the comments your readers have submitted under one of your blog posts to another one might sound like a horrible idea at first, but there are times, especially when the number of comments has increased too much, that such an action is required in order to reduce the page loading time. I am aware [...]

Backslashes inside pre HTML tags in WordPress

Today, I noticed that it is no longer required to escape the backslash (\), known as the “escape character” on *nix systems, inside the pre HTML tag in order not to be removed by WordPress’ HTML filters. This bug has lived long enough to be considered as a WordPress feature, but the devs have suddenly [...]

This is not because I consider the 3rd revision of the license as [...]

And the winner is: RSS 2.0

G-Loaded! has always been a supporter of the Atom Syndication Format, more specifically of the Atom 1.0 Specification, because of its flexibility and extended features. Although this specification has been around for quite a while now, it has not been fully adobted by the major web indexing services or by popular web applications yet.

LaTeX links for the absolute beginner

Today, I stumbled upon the following links, which seem to be what could get someone started with LaTeX. Andrew Roberts has done an exceptional job. His tutorials cover topics both for the absolute beginner and the medium experienced user. This is a must read! Actually, I found out about the above tutorials by this post, [...]

Add-Meta-Tags WordPress Plugin

This plugin adds XHTML META tags to your WordPress blog. The addition of the META tags is fully automatic , but it also includes all those features a SEO-concerned publisher would need in order to have total control over those meta tags.
