Google Page Rank Reporting
I have a client who asked me to write a script where it will display the page ranks for each of the backlinks in a particular domain. He gave me some scripts (actually there is only one script) and sites where I can find one. There were a lot of scripts around but none of them really worked as far as copying and pasting the code is concerned. Even if I tried editing the script, it can be quite a headache making it to work.
Although I didn’t get the “Forbidden” 403 error from Google. The page rank value was always 1 even for Google. So after more than 5 hours of searching I found the script that is similar to the original script with only a slight modification.
Details and script can be found here.
Scenery CSS Tweak
I want to share this to everyone who’s using the “Scenery” theme so you won’t be kicking yourself in the end.
It all began in my homepage. I’m a little OC so I started noticing that my entry paragraphs didn’t look like normal paragraphs. I wanted my entries to have a top and bottom margin. So I checked my WP editor and for countless times modified my article, put line break and paragraph tags in the code view and eventually re-installed everything! After all of the work the line breaks still wasn’t showing.
I then decided to take a look at the theme from the theme viewer and saw that the paragraphs didn’t have the top and bottom margins as well. It was all the template’s fault! hahaha. I checked the structure and of course the stylesheet. There was this little CSS rule:
p { margin:0; padding:0; }
As you can see this was the rule that’s been giving me the trouble. I then decided to edit the rule by turning it into:
p { line-height:1.5em; margin-top:1.5em; margin-bottom:1.5em; }
This rule based on an article by Richard Rutter did all the trick! The paragraphs were styled according to my liking but there was one minor catch. It also affects the date styling for an entry! So I’m forced to switch back to the previous CSS for paragraphs and added a new rule instead:
#right-column .box .entry p {
line-height:1.5em;
margin-top:1.5em;
margin-bottom:1.5em;
}
I decided to forcibly apply a rule to target the paragraph entry and lucky for me it didn’t explode in IE! Hope this article will somewhat ease the burden when trying to modify the Scenery theme or any stylesheet in general that you’re dealing with. Of course comments and reactions are welcome. Thanks for reading.
