Snow revisited

Quick thanks to the team at PowerDNN (now with a UK presence) after an online support session for sledges.co.uk. The legacy DotNetNuke installation is at an impasse with the version of ASPDotNetStoreFront and issues arise, unsurprisingly when the website is being hammered with online sales. Thankfully the website was only offline for a few minutes...

Snow forecast

The perennial threat of winter snow has sent the Sledges website sales on a rocket this month. This website is due an overhaul and Callisti will be working with the Glenmore Mountain Shop team to develop a staff- and user-friendly website and interface in 2011 when the madness subsides.

ClamAV (ClamWin) on Windows servers

Heads up from SmarterTools, provider of SmarterMail server software: recent ClamWin update causing some Windows files to be quarantined and seriously affected Windows servers.

Callisti tip: check ClamWin settings are set to report issues without quarantining or deleting so that the server administrator can review any files before taking action.

Flip off

We are experimenting with ways of presenting a wedding brochure or album of images on Comlongon Castle gallery using the FlippingBook plug-in for wordpress (2.5 or above). There is a developer/pro licence or a site-by-site licence so could well consider it as an option.

Persits persists

Ha, it turns out Heart Internet's shared Windows servers do have ASP Upload (Persits.Upload.1) installed.

But you can also try Free ASP Upload if you're looking for a license-free version to muck about with.

Post production video services

Gently trying to improve relevant content for a video post-production services website to improve Google Adwords quality score.

The website is built using flash so providing readable content is the challenge. Some of the original quality scores for seemingly relevant keywords were like 3/10 which is not good enough. Directing the Ad link to the relevant page containing richer content can help improve advertising budgets significantly.

In this case a simple jQuery script is used to toggle content

areas.
