Bogus user registration poses a problem to both large and small website owners.   The term bogus user registration in this context refers to a user sign up which is not genuine. This fake user registrations become a problem to a website if the website allows members registrations. Fake registrations make it hard for the website owner to differentiate between genuine users and fake users. Many website owners tend to think that identifying individuals behind bogus user registrations and banning them from accessing the site is the best solution to the problem.   As a result, they will spend a lot of resources including time to develop tools supposedly designed to block or ban spammers from accessing their site.   While this approach may be effective in denying the individuals behind fake registrations on websites the access to them, it has two major drawbacks.   First, genuine website users can be unwittingly banned from accessing the website if the website...

The disavow link feature is a relief for many website owners who are victims of unnecessary external links to their website.   It puts website owners in control of both internal and external links to their websites. Prior to the advent of the disavow links feature website owners were at the mercy of spammy website owners.   They could only request for any undesirable external links to their website to be removed.   They cannot do anything else if this request is ignored by the owners of the culprit websites. With the introduction of the disavow links feature website owners decide who can or cannot link to their websites.   Thus, the ball is no longer in the courts of dodgy website owners but in the hands of real website owners. The disavow links feature allows website owners to inform search engines about the external links they approve and those they disapprove for their websites.   This prevents a website from being penalised as a result of unsolicited...

The term plugin is often used when talking about wordpress content management system.   However, this does not mean that plugins are exclusive to wordpress websites as there are other content management systems that use plugins including Joomla.   If you are unfamiliar with plugins this short article will give you some insight into plugins.  There are thousands of plugins for adding functionalities to a website.   There is a directory plugin, for example, for building business listings websites.   There is also a recipe plugin for developing a food recipe website that provides information about food menu and how to prepare different dishes.   In fact, the list of plugins is endless and the problem faced by website owners is not whether they can find enough plugins to develop a website but how many plugins they can install on the website. Every plugin comes with an installation guide.   This informs the user about how to install the plugin and ...

Getting the pages of wordpress website to load up very quickly is one of the problems often faced by many web developers.   Most of the times this problem tends to arise after new plugins have been installed. For many developers who cannot resolve this problem of slow page speed there is often the tendency to uninstall the troubled plugins.   While this strategy can help restore the site pages to their original speed the benefits associated with the plugins being uninstalled are often lost. There is a way of increasing the page speed of your wordpress website without uninstalling the so-called culprit plugins and losing their benefits.   This involves uninstalling any caching plugin on the website before installing plugins.   In other words, install the caching plugin after all other plugins have been installed.   This should be done every time a new plugin is being installed on the website for the site to retain its page speed. Adhering to this s...

Driverless cars will replace normal cars on British roads within a decade from now.   Some pilot ones are being tested in certain parts of the United Kingdom including in South east London. However, some people are alarmed over this news and think that allowing driverless cars on the roads could result in unintended consequences for road users but I do not think that this is necessarily going to be the case. Driverless vehicles have been transporting people from one point to another both in the United Kingdom and abroad.   The Docklands Light Railway (DLR) in London for example is a driverless metro train service that came into operation in 1987.   The Copenhagen Metro and Barcelona Metro are also driverless trains operating in Denmark and Spain respectively.   Many commuters using these train services will be shocked to discover that the trains are driverless. So far the use of these driverless trains has been progressing smoothly.  There have been ...

For some months now the page 3 of the Sun Newspaper which usually contains semi naked photos of young British models largely in their late teens and early twenties has been a subject of debate in the British media.   Last week, a sister newspaper announced that the Sun was stopping the publication of this page 3 for good.   Campaigners against the publication were delighted over this news.   However, this jubilation was short lived after the Sun newspaper came out to dismiss the claims of the demise of its page 3. The number of people against the publication of page 3 of the Sun newspaper is large.   As of last week, it was rumoured that up to 250,000 people have signed up to an online petition asking the Sun newspaper to scrape the page 3.   For these campaigners, having nude photos of young women in one of the leading British newspapers does not only belittles women but also is sexism dating back to 45years ago and should be stopped.   There is no ro...

The causative factors for cancer is becoming so elusive now that scientists are blaming a person’s bad luck rather than their lifestyle or genetic factors for cancer. According to scientists in the USA, cancer arises from faulty cells during cell reproductions.   Old cells die and new cells spring up throughout the lifespan of a person.   Most of the times, this regeneration happens smoothly without any problems.   However, if any a cell malfunctions during any stages of the cell divisions, this will result in abnormal growth called cancer. This abnormal phenomenon can occur in any person irrespective of his or her lifestyle or genetic factors.   Thus, a person who exercises regularly can have cancer if his or her cell malfunctions while a person who does not exercise and consumes a lot of fatty or sugary food can remain cancer free providing the person’s cells do not malfunction. Up until now the main factors attributable to cancer...
