MySQL command line allows you to manage your database environment through your terminal, or command prompt for Windows. Typically when you set up a web server you would have installed MySQL as its own service and can easily access the MySQL command line via mysql (mysql.exe).

This video was recorded from WordCamp 2009 in San Francisco back in 2009. Four years may have passed, but the basics of search engine optimization are still there.

Over the weekend a new module for Drupal Commerce came out - Commerce Point of Sale. This is an extremely exciting release and brings a whole new front for Drupal Commerce.

Sidebar content always gives me a little twinge when it comes to responsive design. Typically a left sidebar will end up stacking directly above the content and a right sidebar directly below. This can be fine, unless your left sidebar has 5 different content areas and now the user has to scroll two screen lengths just to read an article.

I like that WordPress has a built in permalink builder, however I wish it had a built in way of adding your own custom rules. You can, however, write a function to hook with the flush_rewrite_rules() built in WordPress.

Think of it as your favicon for browsers, our the apple-touch-icon.

With WordPress 3.5 came an awesome revamp of the media library that allows users to easily place a photo gallery from new and old images within the media library. The gallery shortcode was introduced and provides quite a few different features, all available from a user interface and not just shortcode attributes.
