The allegedly critical hole reported yesterday in Firefox’s JavaScript implementation has turned out to be a hoax. Mischa Spiegelmock, who made the claim at the Toorcon hacker conference is now stating that “The main purpose” of the talk was to be “humorous.”
While it may be possible to create the stack overflow that they had stated was a security hole, the only result has been able to produce a browser crash. Neither Spiegelmock, nor anyone else, has actually managed to execute any code through this supposed security hole.
Recently I have have noticed an increase in the usage of unneeded Meta Tags in web pages.
It seems that a number of free Meta Tag Generation tools are out there convincing people that they need 20 tags in their header (like this one)!
Folks… This is just not the case. Using too many meta tags can actually harm your search engine rankings rather than help them.

This can be helpful for creating a wrapper to contain and center the contents of your entire site on the page.

One of the biggest problems that I see in beginner web pages is the overwhelming use of erroneous code and HTML in their web pages.
Code bloat, as it is currently defined by Wikipedia, is the production of code that is perceived as unnecessarily long, slow, or otherwise wasteful of resources.
This can range from the use of excess meta information in the header to excess table tags and other HTML tags that are not really needed to get the desired layout or effect.

I have now written on how to optimize the title tags for a variety of blogging software, and I will finish the series of articles with an explanation of how to optimize Movable Type title tags.
The first thing to understand about Movable Type blogging software is that it works a bit differently than other blogging software out there. It is a fairly search engine friendly option out-of-the-box; however, it is my opinion that Word Press is the best.
To optimize Movable Type title tags, you will need to edit one line of code in both the Main Index template file and the Individual Entry Archive template. You cal also tweak the other archive templates too, to achieve similar results.
