Correctly handling redirects

Link to this post

I’m in the process of consolidating all my work scattered across the WWW to www.ronaldbradford.com

As part of the process I was originally redirecting this to my present blog but I was not doing it the correct way. You should Use standard redirects: don’t break the back button! from W3C.

For now, I’ve reverted to a splash page and physical links until I can complete the new site.

The iPhone Safari Browser

Link to this post

One of my photo websites www.ronaldbradford.com doesn’t work properly on the iPhone under Safari, but it works under Safari on Mac OS/X. Problem is, there is no debugging options and I see no way to workout why DOM compliant Javascript doesn’t work!

FireFox’s Live Bookmarks

Link to this post

I’m just about to launch a new project I’ve been working on in the past week. It has a RSS feed, and I wanted to ensure that within FireFox, this could be picked up as a live bookmark. This alone is a very cool feature. Using my Blog for reference, the following code is used.


	<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" href="http://blog.arabx.com.au/?feed=rss2" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="text/xml" title="RSS .92" href="http://blog.arabx.com.au/?feed=rss" />
	<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 0.3" href="http://blog.arabx.com.au/?feed=atom" />

So adding a RSS2 live bookmark link is as simple as a header tag.
