What sort of a web-designer webmaster website developer person would I be if I just let danblee.com go on without being mobile first? In the next few weeks I'll be moving over to a mobile friendly website theme. I'm currently tweaking a theme I purchased (because I have created a theme from scratch since 2009) which will be mobile friendly. Here are a few other things I'd like to accomplish: Less shitty ads. Ads, but less shitty ones. Disqus integration while keeping the ability to just … [Read more...] about danblee.com is getting a facelift

Disabling Tweeting about YoutTube subscriptions and likes
I'll be honest, I'm not a very big twitter user. So for me to discover that I was spamming the twitterverse with notifications of videos that I've like or channel I've subscribed to on YouTube I was a little shocked. It had been going on for a few months! I know I linked my twitter account to YouTube, but where the heck were those settings? In my google account? YouTube? Twitter!? Welp, I finally found them.

Once inside the … [Read more...] about AvayaLive Engage

Here's the fix: Head into Skype options and uncheck the box that says "Use ports 80 and 443 as alternative for incoming connections". Close and Open Skype.
