After I watched the music video for “Love Drug” (below nsfw!) I was inspired by Ninja and Yolandi’s handwriting to create a font in homage to Die Antwoord. I left a comment about the idea on YT, and from the likes and comments I received it’s apparent that the world needed this! If you haven’t heard, according to many sources the duo announced that they will be releasing one last album later this year and then calling it quits, but hopefully the Love Drug font shall live on in art and design for years to come!

What I ended up with is a pretty unique font, free for anyone for personal use so feel free to download it, use it to create graphics, fan art, or even set your browser to display text in “Love Drug” font and read it everywhere! If you are wondering if the Yolandi and Ninja smiley’s are part of the font, the answer is yes! Yolandi is the @ symbol and Ninja is the $ symbol. Any comments and/or suggestions are appreciated. Feel free to share in the comments what you created with the font! If I have time in the future I may make a “sequel” to this, which would be a smoother looking variant, and possibly more glyphs like the Yolandi and Ninja smiley’s.

Font styled after Yolandi Visser and Ninja’s handwriting:

I get this question a lot from clients using WP, and the WP forums are full of misinformation and dead-ends, so even though this tutorial exists in many different forms, I figured it wouldn’t hurt to have another up-to-date and accurate tutorial about how to create a custom WordPress page with custom html floating out there.

This is a pretty simple and straight forward process, though this tutorial assumes that you have minimal knowledge with WordPress and we’ll go through every step in detail. First thing you’ll want to do is login to your WP page.

After logging in to WordPress with your admin information, go to your WordPress Dashboard. From the menu on the left (for most themes) select Pages > Add New.

At the very top of the page you will see a field for the page title. Name this something relevant, it will be what users see if they bookmark your site to view it later and depending on your settings, it will also dictate the pages URL. The next thing on the page you’ll notice is an editor. WP comes standard with what is known as a WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG is an acronym for “what you see is what you get” and using this is similar to using a rich text editor such as Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat. This will work great for most cases, but you may want to use custom HTML in order to have more control over the content on your page. Simply change the editor from the Default WYSIWYG editor, by selecting the “Text” tab next to the “Visual” tab (see img). From here you are free to enter custom HTML and even inline CSS and scripts!

To a new WP admin, adding custom html may seem like a daunting task

Now enter your html code into the editor and when you are ready you will find publishing options on the right side (by default) in the “Publish” widget. From here you will have the option to save your draft in case it is not quite ready to be published publicly. You also have the option to preview your new page, which is always a good idea before you publish. And of course you can click “Publish” when you are ready for your page to go live!

SMF index.css (no style.css)

This is specific to the current default SMF ‘Curves’ theme and probably doesn’t pertain to many other themes. There is also an ‘Images’ folder, from which you can download and alter the images via image editing software to further customize your color scheme. You will most likely want to edit an image called main_block.png or something similar.

I’m not going to go much into editing of the CSS, but if you have basic knowledge of HTML/CSS you can easily find the colors and change them. I like to use pink, #ff00ff (or #fab haha) to easily spot the changes. For extensive editing, I suggest copying the code from the box and pasting it into an editor such as Notepad++ to make your life easier.

Hope this helps some other SMF newbs! With that being said, I’m a newb, and didn’t read any SMF documentation (who needs directions?) and I’m not sure how editing these files will effect updates or other mods. Not my fault if you lose your forum for trying to make pretty pink borders

New Adsense layout

The new performance report dashboard has a nice feel to it. (no picture). It also seems like a more device friendly layout. (I have yet to test it with a tablet or mobile)

To opt-in just log in to your Adsense account and click the opt-in link.
You’ll notice an “opt out” button in the lower left, in case you just aren’t ready for the changes yet.

“Microsoft announced that they will no longer develop new versions of Internet Explorer”

Edit: Spartan is now ‘Edge’. An intelligent decision in my opinion, now they can use the old ‘E’ icon that users are familiar with.

The death of the Internet Explorer has the internet in an uproar today. On the 20th (don’t quote me on that, I never saw the press release, but hundreds of sites are claiming they did) Microsoft announced that they will no longer develop new versions of Internet Explorer. Who killed it? Well, for those of you who have only had a smart phone in your lifetime, there’s a chance you’ve never heard of Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer was the dominant leader in the usage share of web browsers for many years, post 1990’s. Netscape Navigator held the title for most of the 90’s, but Internet mogul: AOL or “America Online” bought Netscape some time around the turn of the century, and drove it straight into a wall, leaving the tracks clear for Internet Explorer to begin it’s browser conquest. How does a browser go from commanding a whopping 96% of the usage share down to as low as 11.5% in just a decade? And why are they ending support with numbers around 15-20% this year?

• 1994 – Netscape founded.
• 1995 – Internet Explorer released with Windows 95*
• 1999 – Netscape acquired by AOL.
• 2002 to 2004 – Microsoft’s new giant, Internet Explorer commands upwards of ninety percent of the browser usage share.
• 2007 – AOL canceled development of Netscape Navigator, leaving it unsupported as of 1 March 2008
• 2014 – Microsoft discusses unveiling a new browser, “Spartan”, along with Windows 10
• 2015 – Internet Explorer calls it quits, IE 11 being the last supported version.
• This Summer – Microsoft is to launch Windows 10 with it’s new browser: Spartan

So it’s not necessarily the case that Microsoft is throwing in the towel in the browser wars, but rather throwing a new warrior into the war. And who won wars better than Spartans? We’ll soon see if Microsoft does the name any justice.

Download the last version of IE:

Are you a die hard IE fan for whatever messed up reason? The download page for Internet Explorer 11 is still up (for now) http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/download-ie so this is your chance to get what is supposedly the last version.

Never update the copyright date at the bottom of your php pages again!

Copyright (Your dynamic date).

There are many scripts that accomplish this available out there, but most are javascripts that reflect the users time/date. If your user has their clock set back a year, your copyright date will be set back a year as well. Avoid this and keep your content looking fresh with the following simple code:

<?php
    $dateyr = date(‘y’);
    echo”&copy;20″.$dateyr.” yourwebsitehere.com”;
    ?>

That’s it, you’re good to go until 2100. We could easily accommodate for the rollover to 2100, but that’s another line or two of code that most of us will never need…
