Create Your Own Handler Engine for CJ File Browser 3.1

One of the main features of CJ File Browser is the capability to use various server technologies besides ColdFusion, to handle all the server calls. In order to do this, you may need to create your own plug-in for the new Handler Engine System. This guide will provide you with the layout, required functions and function responses that are needed in order to do this.

Unfortunately, in order for you to create your own Handler Engine plug-in, you are going to need at least some basic knowledge of programming language. There's just to much going on on the functions to effectively explain it all here. You are going to need to be able to open up one of the existing handler engine plug-ins to get a grasp of what it's doing. If any of this is not making sense, then don't hesitate to ask a question. I'm more than happy to provide any insight into making these!

Major Search Engines Ignore the Keywords META tag.

For years, I've been using a few online tools to analyze my web pages to check for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). I've always suspected that page content was more important than anything you could ever place in the META tags, but today I was sent an article that put my suspicion to rest. On the Google Webmaster Central Blog there's an article from September 21st, 2009 titled "Google does not use the keywords meta tag in web ranking".

Validating The Top 50 Websites of 2009

Apple revealed an iPad ready webpage today. A list of websites that support the latest web standards, including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. This is kind of an "in-your-face" to Adobe and it's flagship Flash product. If you're not familiar with the Apple HTML5 and Adobe Flash war, do a search for "Apple snubs Adobe Flash" on Google, you should get brought up to speed fairly quickly.

After looking over the list, I began to wonder about how many of the top sites are actually standards compliant. What I found was a little shocking...
