So, since I couldn’t find any real good documentation on the subject, and Dreamhost’s tech support didn’t know the answer, and I recently ran into this issue on a client’s site, here is how you fix the “tinyMCE visual editor not showing up” bug in Wordpress 2.5.x. For reference, the client site in question was running in PHP5x. These instructions only apply to Dreamhost hosting, although similar tactics may work on other hosts:

So the new version of the Firefox internet browser is available for download at Mozilla’s website. There is truly no reason why discerning web users should not download this great update immediately. It’s faster, more secure, and loaded with great new features. As web developers, we can only hope that the new Firefox 3 gobbles up even more browser market share from Internet Explorer, thus making the annoying tweaks for IE far less important in the future. That or that new versions of IE don’t, you know…suck.

The whole point of this series has been to educate our customers and potential customers about what it really takes to build out a webstore, because quite frankly, most people have no idea how big of a process it actually is. Once we get the site designed and built, and the security and credit card processing is working, we get to the fun* part. (more…)
The challenge of measuring the success of an SEO campaign can be a bit abstract. Every SEO will have their explanation.

This week’s winner is a site called A List Apart. It’s a must have bookmark for any web developer. The site is mostly articles that are written by well known experts in the industry like Eric Meyer.

Being a small business in downtown Riverside has it’s up’s and downs. The up’s are pretty obvious; you’re close to just about everything and you have first hand knowledge about all the happenings within the community. One downside, at least for the purpose of this blog post, is the constant and persistent interruptions of your business by solicitors. The Frye / Wiles headquarters is located on the second floor of a very old building with no elevator. We have a very clear ‘NO SOLICITATION’ sign on the main office door.
As you probably surmised from my old-timey padlock photograph, this episode of my Ecommerce series is all about security.

The problem with some design magazines is they can get a little stagnant at times. One month I’m in Barnes and Noble trying to decide which magazine I can live without (because it’s either 5 magazines or filling up my gas tank). Then the next month I’m disappointed when most covers look the same. One company decides swooshes and “urban street art” are the cool thing to copy, and suddenly you’re stuck with those for the next six months to a year. (more…)
