Today I’m going to talk about a rarely used but extremely useful CSS property, the word-wrap. You can force long (unbroken) text to wrap in a new line by specifying break-word with the word-wrap property. For example, you can use it to prevent text extending out the box and breaking the layout. This commonly happens when you have a long URL in the sidebar or comment list. Word-wrap is supported in IE 5.5+, Firefox 3.5+, and WebKit browsers such as Chrome and Safari. (more…)

Everyone loves to get loads of traffic to their websites, however, websites get timed out or respond very slowly when many users try to access it at the same time. WordPress does a pretty good job of handling lots of users at once, however it in itself cannot help you manage all the traffic, and you need proper server setups and cache setup to scale to accommodate more users.
WordPress Super Cache does a pretty neat job too at handling heavy traffic, however, there will be a time when the cache in itself will not solve your problems and you will need to make changes to your server setup in order to ensure that your website loads properly and fast.
One of my pet projects on my personal websites has been to scale the site to allow around 70-100 thousand+ users to seamlessly access the site without having to suffer slow load […]

For quite some time I have been struggling to moderate comments on my technology blog, the problem is not only with an abundance of comments, but also with lots of trackbacks/pingbacks.
Now, for me pingbacks are really good, but it adds to a load while moderating comments. I do know that they can be disabled, but I don’t do it for a simple reason, which is to keep track of people who are linking back and sending trackbacks. However, approving, reading and responding to actual user comments has a much higher priority than the trackbacks.
Right now, WordPress displays both the trackbacks and comments together, however, it would be great if there could be a way to segregate through both of these.
The biggest gain from segregating the comments and trackbacks would be that you can quickly go through approved/unapproved human comments, and approve them or reply to them quickly without having to […]
