As the previous document had become (again) too large and would not save in its entirety, I decided to continue here the Changelog of Zamo.ca, accesibil de asemenea prin log.zamo.ca. Here’s a clickable table of contents:

20110607 - limitarea comentariilor

Am blocat comentariile Blogger la toate articolele noi si am limitat comentariile Disqus la o singura zi de la publicare. De ce? E vara, e cald, oamenii sunt plictisiti, nimeni n-are chef de nimic. S-ar putea sa revin la toamna, dar nu-i garantat. Scos si comment flare: http://zamo.disqus.com/~feedflare/comments_link.xml

20110608 - comentariu nepublicat la Arhi (al lui Cracanel)

Imi zice Cracanel ca a scris cateva comentarii la Arhi si unul n-a intrat. Cam asa ceva, dac-am inteles bine (ce sa-i fac dac n-a facut screenshot?! cu atat mai mult cu cat imi spune ca-i aproape totdeauna moderat):

Tu care esti un adept al limbajului transant, fara eufemisme de o masculinitate fara prostata marita, e ciudat ca vrei sa cenzurezi injuraturile altora. Pare sa fie o chestie de clan: ma-njuri pe mine si pretenarii mei esti dusman, ii injuri pe dusmani, esti pretenar.

De altfel, articolul este un indemn nedisimulat la cenzura in favoarea sa, asa ca n-ar trebui sa ma mire ca nu intra comentarii critice.

20120610 - major cleanup

Mai e inca primavara, deci e loc de curatenie. Blogger a introdus a gramada de settings SEO, cum ar fi posibilitatea de a stabili o descriere pentru fiecare pagina. Am decis sa renunt la blocul de nested if din template header care stabilea meta artificial:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

L-am sters si voi adauga astea manual, la fiecare pagina. Am scos si favicon intrucat acum poate fi setata direct:

Am schimbat si relatedthumbs de la http://relatedthumbs.googlecode.com/files/relatedthumbs21.js fiindca nu stiu cand va fi ala sters.

scos cod da analytics de sub mobify, pus in settings basic

var _gaq = _gaq || [];

_gaq.push(['_setAccount', 'UA-3128968-3']);

_gaq.push(['_trackPageview']);

(function() {

var ga = document.createElement('script'); ga.type = 'text/javascript'; ga.async = true;

ga.src = ('https:' == document.location.protocol ? 'https://ssl' : 'http://www') + '.google-analytics.com/ga.js';

(document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0] || document.getElementsByTagName('body')[0]).appendChild(ga);

})();

</script>

No. Cam asta-i.

20120626 - schimbat domeniu

Din pricina unor probleme cu webhost-ul (am fost “bagat” intr-un nou plan fara stirea sau permisiunea mea care costa de doua ori mai mult, am refuzat sa mai platesc si-apoi n-am mai reusit sa comunic cu ei), am fost fortat sa schimb domeniul rapid, asa ca am pierdut link juice-ul. Intentionam sa mut blog-urile pe alte domenii oricum intrucat nu am intentionat sa vand reclame pe ele si banii platiti pentru prea multe domenii nefolosite sunt bani aruncati.

php

Inainte de a-mi recupera domeniile, va trebui sa rezolv scriptul PHP de trimis forward 301 prin vechiul domeniu, dupa cum este explicat pe BlogIdol. Pentru testing, voi folosi blogul nou: lito.zamo.ca si vechi: oldlito.zamo.ca pe care am instalat acest template pentru a investiga. Pe blogul vechi am instalat acest template:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" dir="<$BlogLanguageDirection$>"><head> <title> <$BlogPageTitle$> </title> <script type="text/javascript"> <MainorArchivePage>window.location.href="http://lito.zamo.ca/"</MainOrArchivePage> <Blogger><ItemPage>window.location.href="http://inbo.hostei.com/blogger_lt/?q=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"</ItemPage></Blogger> </script> <MainPage><link rel="canonical" href="http://lito.zamo.ca/" /></MainPage> <Blogger><ItemPage><link rel="canonical" href="http://inbo.hostei.com/blogger_lt/?q=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>" /></ItemPage></Blogger></head><body> <div style="border: #ccc 1px solid; background: #eee; padding: 20px; margin: 80px;"> <p>This page has moved to a new address.</p> <h1> <MainOrArchivePage><a href="http://lito.zamo.ca/"><$BlogTitle$></a></MainOrArchivePage> <Blogger> <ItemPage><a href="http://inbo.hostei.com/blogger_lt/?q=<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogItemTitle$></a></ItemPage> </Blogger> </h1> </div> </body> </html>

Rolul template-ului este de a face forward direct in cazul domeniului simplu (homepage) si de a trimite fiecare pagina printr-un 301 redirect creat printr-un script PHP care in mod normal este integrat ca pagina intr-o instalatie Wordpress. Un astfel de “workaround” e necesar intrucat Blogger nu permite redirectionare 301 directa si o redirectionare simpla, din domeniu, rezulta in dificultati pentru utilizatori si pierderea rank-ului in search engines. Scriptul insa nu functioneaza cum ar trebui in afara unei instalatii Wordpress si trebuie modficat.

Am instalat PHP scriptul la http://inbo.hostei.com/blogger_lt.php - acesta contine:

<?php

Template Name: blogger

global $wpdb;

$old_url = $_GET['q'];

if ($old_url != "") {

$permalink = explode("zamo.ca", $old_url);

$q = "SELECT guid FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ".

"ON ($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id) WHERE ".

"$wpdb->postmeta.meta_key='blogger_permalink' AND ".

"$wpdb->postmeta.meta_value='$permalink[1]'";

$new_url = $wpdb->get_var($q)? $wpdb->get_var($q) : "/";

header ("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

header("Location: $new_url");

}

Problema - separarea variabilelor Wordpress de rest. Odata rezolvata, scriptul devine:

<?php

$newdo='lzc';

$olddo='ozc';

$old_url = $_GET['q'];

$permalink = explode($olddo, $old_url);

$adresa_noua="http://" .$newdo .$uri.$permalink[1];

header ("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

header("Location: $adresa_noua");

Poate ca azi, poate ca..

robots

Intrucat nu prea ne mai aflam in Google index cu noul sit, am facut smecheria in loc de sitemap:

# Blogger Sitemap generated on 2012.06.26

User-agent: *

Disallow: /search

Allow: /

Sitemap: http://asa.zamo.ca/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Sitemap: http://asa.zamo.ca/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=501&max-results=500

O idee mai buna decat atom.xml ca “sitemap” in Google Webmaster Tools intrucat include toate articolele. Eu am in jur de 1000 si deci cele 2 linii sunt suficiente (l-b).

Search & Replace

Though I had performed an S&R for the domains on the template, I noticed that users still left the site going to alsosprachzamolxis.com. As it turned out, some widgets still had links to the old site, so I had to go into each one individually and perform the changes. I also changed some of the “top” articles into pages. The goal is to move all of them into pages, since Disqus is blocked for old articles anyway.

As stated on BlogIdol, other than the straight www.alsosprachzamolxis.com -> asa.zamo.ca substitution, I also had to

perform the “more” correction: If you can find it, search for <a name='more'></a> or <a name='more'></a> and replace it with <!—more--> or  If you don’t, your new blog will be missing the  “Read more” breaks.
correct previous wrong links copied from Google search results such as /url?sa=t
modify non-working playlist codes (after Youtube rude change). this deserves its own heading below.

Will be adding more here shortly.

playlist code changes

Oldest playlist code:

Newer playlist code:

Newest playlist code:

<a title="YouTube Video Playlist (opens at the right if you are on the main site): Exemplu playlist" href="http://www.youtube.com/embed/videoseries?list=PLC8F6631137C0E2A4&amp;hl=en_US?autoplay=1&amp;rel=0&amp;iv_load_policy=3" rel="ytvid" target="tutub">playlist</a>

For this last example, the codes need to escaped as above, then tvtub must be changed into tutub across the board, but only for newer youtube codes, together with “opens below” to “opens on the right if you are on the main site”

what didn’t work

Well, I couldn’t use webmaster tools to let Google know of the change because the new domain was not a “root domain”.

20120627 - Domains 4 sale

I’ve decided to get rid even of the “better-sounding domains” at the end of their life. To that end, I will be listing them on various services such as “bursa de domenii” & Sedo. Acestea ar fi (cu exp date):

blogdeblog.net 20121005

libto.com 20130519

zalmoxis.ca 20121229

logoblog.ca 20121005

decen.eu 20120831

In “piata de linkuri” am gasit urmatoarele bloguri PR 4+:

20120702 - marquee the description

currently: <p class='description'><span><data:description/></span></p>

Hongkiat has an article on advanced CSS3 animation with marquee and marquee in CSS and HTML marquee allows fine-grained customization. JaiDeep shows specifically who to modify it for Aspire:

final code:

<b:includable id='main'>

</b:includable>

also, in

#head {position:relative; width:990px; height:250px;

and

.header {width:627px; height:250px; background: url(http://www.webpagedesign.ws/aspire/header-bg.jpg) no-repeat;}

replace height:250px to height:265px.

To marquee the description, just <marquee><data:description/></marquee>

behavior="slide" will cause it to slide in place only once, which is less distracting or annoying to the reader. It’s also possible to make it go up with direction="up" but that would need increasing the space as shown above and it wouldn’t do that only once.

I’ll use slide and fast speed behavior="slide" scrollamount="10"
