Every self-respecting webdeveloper, wether you specify on design or coding, should follow some RSS feeds. At least, that’s what I think. By following RSS feeds, you’re up to date with the latest posts and never miss out on anything. Wether you bookmark them directly in your browser or use a reader like Google Reader (as I do), here’s a list of 25 feeds you really should subscribe to, and why!

A few days ago, I upgraded to WordPress 2.7. My biggest mistake probably was not checking properly (or even not checking at all) if my homepage was displaying properly. I saw no errors in the back-end so I presumed all was okay.
Today I checked my Google Analytics account and saw that I’ve had 0 visitors for the last two days and only 14 three days ago. Now normally I hover around 40 - 50 visitor / day, so I was a little surprised. I decided to go check my homepage and what do I see? A blank page. Nothingness.
I googled the problem and quickly found a blog post describing the same problems. It only mentioned the Super Cache or wp-cache plugins, but I remembered the PHP Speedy WP plugin also caches everything. Turning this plugin off immediately fixed everything.
I’d like to apologize to anyone who might have come across my white blog the last three days. I promise I’ll check my upgrades better next time.

This website is hosted on a shared server. When I started it was just what I needed: cheap, nothing to worry about etc etc. Though as time progresses and my skills grow, I feel the need for better control. A while back, I had a discussion over at the CodeIgniter forums about hosting etc and a lot of people mentioned VPS hosting. I didn’t know what it was about, but got curious and googled it. What did I learn? I wants.

This post was written for the $11,000 Prize Giveaway at Just Creative Design
A while back I decided to set a standard signature in GMail. I got as far as “Bram Van der Sype” and I knew I wanted my URL in it too. But then I was stuck. Do I put webdesigner or webdeveloper below my name? I consider myself a webdesigner. I have designed all my websites myself (unless clients provided a design that only needed coding). I’ve never outsourced my designing. I like the feeling I get when I finally hit that design I like. I love to browse through dozens of blog posts, looking for inspiration and I love experimenting with photoshop.

Don’t worry, I haven’t really. But as you’ll probably notice, there is now some ad-space under the search box. I’m not going to clutter the entire site with ads, do not worry, I’m merely trying to see if I can get any response on this. If I can, I might make a little buck out of selling ads and pay back my hosting costs that way.
To make up for this blight, I will try to write more posts and deliver better content.
If this doesn’t hit off, the ad space will, offcourse, disappear.
