Delete WordPress Comments based on IP Range

First of all. Happy new year everyone! This is my first post for the year 2014, and I would like to share a useful MySQL snippet wherein you can delete a series of comments based from an author’s IP. We all know for a fact that akismet can’t block all spam comments. My blog itself has a lot of spam comments lately, and I’ve been having a hard time delete it one by one.

Rocket Loader in CloudFlare is now fixed!

Last week, Rocket Loader seems to be weird. It doesn’t load the Adsense ads and other external javascripts. Some JS files in my theme doesn’t load as well. My floating menu in my other blog was fixed, and a lot of bugs occurred, a lot of jQuery files malfunctioned. Most of the super awesome features of my blog didn’t work after activating it. So I decided to deactivate it and filed a support ticket inside my CloudFlare account.

After a few days, I added a few plugins (Social Buttons via WordPress.com Jetpack) and other WP plugins that will add more external javascripts in my WordPress blog. To my dismay, my grade of 99% in Google PageSpeed went down to 89%! An extra 10 external javascript files was added in my source code!

I’m so freaked out and sad at the same time so I re-enabled Rocket Loader. At first, I thought Rocket Loader didn’t work because nothing changed in my blog. All javascript files are working, the Adsense ads and other third party ads are loading just fine. And everything is just right, like nothing’s changed.

I was surprised after visiting the homepage of SoftLayer.com, that they are now an IBM Company. I’m pretty late about this news, but it’s better late than never eh? I just want to share it with you guys, even though I’m a month late in sharing this awesome news.

I’ve been following the milestones of SoftLayer since my favorite hosting company ThePlanet.com was redirected to SoftLayer. I didn’t know at first that they were merged, I just found out after searching about it, why it was gone and was redirected to SoftLayer.com.

BBMAX599 no longer works with Q10, Z10, and other BlackBerry 10 devices

This is a very very sad news for all Globe Prepaid BlackBerry users out there who are using BBMAX599 to avail the unlimited data plan for almost half the price (compared to SUPERSURF999). BBMAX599 no longer works with Q10, Z10, and other BlackBerry 10 devices. You now need to avail SUPERSURF999 to fully use your Blackberry OS 10 device. If you registered your device using BBMAX599 to 8888, then you just wasted 599 pesos. Too bad… this is really really disappointing.

Why You Need To Pay Attention To Usability In Design

For anyone who has monitored changes and trends in web design, it feels like the ground has shifted more in the last few years than in the entire lifespan of the web. Social media is now engrained in web marketing, as is video and quality content, and website owners are now facing increasing barriers to garner attention for their site. Infinite scrolling and single page designs are springing up all over the place, and it is not too hard to imagine the day when traditional brochure-type websites are completely obsolete (if not already).

Alongside the appearance of your site, usability is becoming increasingly important. Websites that think about the user experience have a better chance of success and conversion than those that don’t. But how feasible is it to make your website more usable, and what specific advantages are there for those that design in this way?
