Google Ireland Search Plugin for Firefox

July 1st, 2010 No comments

I was pretty irritated with the Google Search in Firefox constantly directing me to Google.com as opposed to Google.ie. When I search with Google.ie the results are better targeted to Irish people are therefore more useful to me. So as a result I wrote my own Google.ie Firefox search.

If you want to use it click here to install.

Make a Static Page your Home Page in WordPress

June 17th, 2010 4 comments

I’ve been doing a couple of sites for a Friend of mine who also happens to be my MMA instructor. RebelMMA and KenHealyFitness. They aren’t so much blogs as advertising websites. As a result I wanted to make the static pages jump out, whereas the blogging function should be hidden a little further into the site. I still wanted to use WordPress though as it’s already running on my server. So I had a dig around and found it was actually easy to move the blog away from the front page. Now on those sites when you vist them you get a static front page and you have to navigate to the blog.

Check out the steps on the WordPress site.
