Helvetical pimping up Google Calendar.

I know I am not alone in my love/hate relationship for Google’s apps, the functionality is brilliant but the UI is ugly. Google Calendar is most definitely not the exception to the rule, it hurts my eyes.

Helvetical extends the work done by Jon Hicks on Helvetireader, turning the mayhem of the Google interface into something that doesn’t offend. It was created for use with Fluid.app but I’m sure you can hack the CSS to work for your needs.

This plugin will animate a regular anchor navigation [1] [2].
It will allow your visitors to navigate your site with a smooth scrolling effect.

Each time a link is clicked, the element you decide(can be the whole screen), will gradually scroll to the targeted element, instead of "jumping" as it'd normally do.
jQuery.ScrollTo is used for the animation.

The administration area of a Web application is a favorite target of hackers and thus particularly well protected. The same goes for WordPress: when creating a blog, the system creates an administrative user with a perfectly secure password and blocks public access to the settings area with a log-in page. This is the cornerstone of its protection. Let’s dig deeper!

Why another guide on configuring Google Analytics?

I’ve written this guide since I now find when training, that the majority of the marketers on the courses have Google Analytics installed on their websites.

But oftentimes, although Google Analytics is installed, it hasn’t been configured to help marketers track and review their campaign or site effectiveness.In fact, when I take attendees through the configuration options, it seems very often little or no configuration has been done in their organisations!

So, I have written this guide as a checklist for non web-analytics specialists. It is a top-level guide, but I have provided links through to detailed descriptions on more specialist sites on the technical approaches needed to configure.

I've read that I can edit my .htaccess file with one line of code in order to instruct the server to treat the .vcf file like a .zip file. Here is the code I have found to add to the .htaccess file:
