Well… this one is pretty descriptive. You simply need to edit the file ‘style.css’, and update the following code:
[cc lang=”css”]
.one-column #page {
max-width: 960px;
/* max-width: 690px; */
}
[/cc]
You’re also probably gonna need to set the Default Layout to ‘One Column’, and remove the right side widgets.
That way, Adsense’s best size (728×90) will fit riiight above or below every post. Which makes it look nice, i dare to say!.
I had to optimize a website, a couple days ago. My goal was to lower the time required to load the website. So… i spent quite some time doing a quick research… and found this awesome tool, which by the way is free!.
It’s called ImageOptim. You simply drag & drop the assets you’d like to compress, and the guy will do the rest. I’ve been able to compress most of the images i’ve got, to 50% of their original size.
So now… my websites load super fast. If you’re running Windows (or Linux)… you could try ImageMagick. Which, by the way, is excellent as well.
I’ve tried several RSS Readers for Mac. Many of them are free… such as Google Reader, or Capuccino. But a couple weeks ago i sumbled upon Reeder. I dare to say… it’s the best RSS Reader you’ll be able to find, anywhere else.
Why is that?. Well, the UI is pretty awesome… take a look:
Reeder has several UI styles. Personally, i use the layout portraited above. You get your feed list on the left… the posts in the middle, and the actual post on the right.
Now here’s something interesting. If you click over a post, the app hides the Feed List, and automatically enhances the post itself. Reeder has also something super cool. It’s Gestures-Enabled, which means that you can just swipe to the left or right, and trigger several actions (of course, you can configure that).
Most important of all… you can connect Reeder to your Google Reader account, and that’s it, this guy is gonna keep everything in sync. You could run it across several OSX installations, and… everything will be in sync.
I know it ** might ** be a bit expensive, for a simple rss reader. But trust me, this ain’t no simple reader.. and i believe it’s totally worth it!.
This is probably trivial to everyone around, but i’d like to share it anyways.
No matter what, please, remember the adsense guidelines. It’s pretty simple… don’t click your own ads, and.. don’t steal content!. That includes youtube music videos, and piracy.
Got it?
OSX is a strong and secure system. Until you realize there is a feature called ‘single user login’… which virtually grants you ROOT access, provided that you have physical access to the target machine.
That sucks, pretty much. There is just no single password screen. If you have the machine, you can access its files. How do we prevent this????.
In Lion, and Mountain Lion…:
[cc lang=”bash”]defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled 1[/cc]
That should, at the very least, enhance a little bit your security.
