Introduction 2008-03-15 18:57:23 Welcome to the NYC Web Design blog!

How To Set Up Your Own Blog 2008-03-25 20:42:18 It’s hard to believe that ten days have already passed since I posted my first (and, until now, only) entry up here on the NYC Web Design blog. I had intended to be back in a couple days with this entry on how to set up a blog, but my crazy life and various other [...]
Code to Display a MySQL Table in HTML 2008-04-21 18:58:15 Okay, so it’s been almost a month since I last found time to write a post up here. That’s clearly not enough to keep this going as an active, useful blog. So, I’m reevaluating my approach a bit. Unfortunately, I just don’t have a ton of extra time laying around at the moment, so instead [...] Read more:Display

U.S. State Abreviations in MySQL Table 2008-04-24 19:22:52 I was working on a lead delivery system today and the client needed the states field to be exported as abrevations rather than full names. I had to go to the USPS website, get the list, match up the abbreviations with the names, etc. It was a hassle. Hopefully, my putting this code to create [...] Read more:MySQL

A Simple PHP Directory Script 2008-06-14 10:59:14 I have a tendency to create a lot of files sometimes and forget what I have named them. Then, I get super annoyed when I have to stop and look them up because the environment I’m working in doesn’t have a built-in directory feature enabled. So, one day in an effort to combat this annoyance, [...] Read more:Directory

Slow Transitions 2008-11-06 19:46:46 I’ve been trying to juggle a million different projects lately and haven’t had much of a chance to write up here. I wish I could just pause time for a month or two and get caught up on this gigantic checklist of tasks that I want to get done on my sites.
One of the [...] Read more:Transitions
Advertising to Generate Advertising Revenue 2008-10-11 18:50:18 While watching the Phillies game last night, I saw several commercials for both WebMD and Ask.com. Seeing commercials that promote websites is certainly nothing new, but these caught my attention because they relate to something I’ve been thinking about lately anyway: Does it pay off to advertise your site if your only income from [...] Read more:Advertising

Bounce Rate Oddities 2008-10-07 20:37:13 I was poring over my Google Analytics data this evening wondering why on earth the bounce rate on my running log site was so high when a thought hit me: What if it was because people are actually making it their homepage? I had noticed in my user traffic logs a few weeks ago [...] Read more:Bounce

Introduction 2008-10-05 13:07:56 Welcome to the new Ink Plant Blog. As you can tell, this is still a work in progress. I’ve been re-thinking the way that I wanted my business blog to be setup, and wanted to get started on writing it even though I don’t have the time right now to make the design pretty, etc. So, [...] Read more:Introduction
Connecting to an IMAP Mailbox with PHP 2008-12-07 15:02:42 There are a number of cool things that you can do after opening up an IMAP connection in PHP (monitoring bounce-back rates, processing incoming attachments, etc.) but before you do, you have get connected. Normally, this is a pretty straight-forward process, but sometimes different mail server settings can throw you a curveball. Here’s [...] Read more:Connecting

The ImageUpload
Form has everything you need to create a simple HTML form allowing users to upload their own JPEG images. After it verifies that the image is valid, it saves it and generates a thumbnail using the PHP GD library of image functions. [...] Read more:Copier
