What you're looking at is a blog tag cloud. DaniWeb blog entries are always tagged with relevant keywords. DaniWeb automagically generates a list of blog tags that it believes are relevent to the thread, and it displays them in the form of a tag cloud. Clicking on a tag brings …

Something tells me the only reason you posted was to promote your own company, but I'll respond to you anyways. Write good content that people want to read, will want to link to from around the web (link bait), and that is written for the users and not for the …

I'm not quite sure I understand. It seems to me like it would just be an inferior version of the wikipedia.

A good place to begin getting your hands dirty with PHP/MySQL is by studying and modifying an existing open source project. And there are a lot to choose from! A lot of today's Web 2.0 CMS products (joomla, mambo, phpBB, etc) are all php/mysql based, and there's a lot of …

Is this a laptop or LCD monitor? Does the monitor have any controls that might change the resolution? Go to Desktop Properties and then to the Settings tab, were you usually change the resolution. Click the Advanced button. On the General tab, try changing the DPI setting.

No, the install is pretty straight forward and you should be able to successfully run a forum with no coding experience. You will need HTML/XHTML experience to customize the templates. You'll also need light PHP experience to make small modifications to the code or apply hacks made by other members …

From my understanding, if you only have two computers, you don't need a wireless access point and all that. You can just use a wireless nic in both computers and they'll see each other. Once you add a third computer to the setup, or you connect that wireless network to …

Wait! Slow down there. You're a little confusing. What do you mean you used YOUR search engine? Did you write your own search engine? Are you talking about the Google custom search engine?

1984 is one of my favorite books. It's crazy how it became such a major part of pop culture that people will quote it and yet never even know they're quoting a book or that such a book exists at all. Down with data mining! Big Brother is watching! What's …

The forum system that powers this site, vBulletin, is releasing a new version very soon (the beta version is already out) that incorporates social networking features, allowing for extravagant member profiles that can subgroup people together, etc.

That's happened to me before. I don't remember what the cause was ... I think a corrupted cookie. Not worth trying to figure it out b/c I'm already deep into the code of the next version of vBulletin, and plan on upgrading the site not too long from now.

Try Nielsen. They data mine statistics for Internet, print, radio, tv, etc. For example, their Internet stats are known as Nielsen NetRatings.

I think that's really awesome for such a new site in such a competitive industry. You must be doing something right. However, you should stop investing so much time into ranking for particular keywords and instead let your stories speak for themselves. Write good content that people will naturally want …

If a thread has been answered already, it can be marked as solved, and a note gets added encouraging people to start new threads instead of hijacking the thread. If a thread hasn't been solved, I don't see any reason why future people couldn't have something valuable to contribute. Even …

Self-promotion is permitted in signatures because I feel that it is our way of thanking you for contributing to the community by havng one or two lines where you can link to your resume, your freelance company, etc. Additionally, not allowing any self-promotion links in a signature would be ridiculous …

CPM rates are usually between $2 and $200. :) A 14% CTR is extraordinarily high, but it all depends upon the type of content on the page and how sticky the site is.

Is it possible to make an entire [INLINECODE]<div>[/INLINECODE] into a hyperlink using CSS only, as can be easily accomplished with mouse events in JavaScript? I'm assuming it's too good to be true since CSS isn't interactive? Nevermind ... I guess I just answered my own question :(
