The flexibility of the Nautilus file manager on GNOME allows you to easily access remote filesystems via FTP as if it was mounted as a local directory. Firing up gEdit got me thinking “Can I use gEdit’s file browser to edit remote files?”. Yes you can and in theory you should be able to open and edit any remote files with any application on Linux.

I stumbled across this accidentally but I noticed the number of inlinks reported by Yahoo! Site Explorer decreased when using the UK and Ireland version.

A small niggle I found with MODx was the document tree view that’s displayed in the left hand side of the manager. It displays the “resources” title (aka the page title) which is bit confusing like shown below. After a quick browse through the source I changed it to display the resources alias.

As a Linux user browsing the web you probably have respect and understanding for the importance of both cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility. When developing a site the first thing you should aim for is your project adhering to standards…

The era of meta spamming has been over for a long time now thanks to the introduction of Google. The emphasis for a while now has been on votes (or inlinks) but “What’s next?”. That’s a pretty ignorant question I know as there are always new factors being taken into consideration and implemented by the major search engines.
