Is There a Limit to The Title Tag Length? #AskGoogle

Google says that the standards on title tag lengths are externally created and not Google recommendations. I have always suspect some element of "myth" about this, but well let's dive into the facts. How Long Should a Title Tag Be? Title tags are technically measured in pixels. It’s typically recommended that title tags be from fifty to about seventy characters long. Those character limits are based on how the titles display on desktop and mobile devices. Title tags that are longer than what Google displays in the search engine results pages (SERPs) will be shown cut off, which means that

Why Mac OS is better than Windows PC (My Opinion)

So many people have always asked me why I prefer using Mac OS / IOS to Windows. This is my tear down; I don't need to worry about viruses on my Mac. For the 8 years I have used MAC Os since my switch from windows &, I have never lost a single file due to a virus. I used Windows for just two years and lost a whole hard drive to a fake raid issue. A mac is out of the box for a developer, it comes with all the core shell programs installed to get going in just minutes. On Windows you have to install many third parties before you get going which comes with a memory throttle On mac I can easily run

Recommendation of Servers for Drupal Hosting

This isn’t a no brainer. My Drupal Sites were creating close to 950k iNode count ????and soon hitting that scary 1M iNode limit ????. Well I even had one of my Wordpress friends call me close stupid for not choosing siteground traditional shared hosting. His argument was about them being fast in customer response and.. well... $price$. Trust me with the hidden limitation to shared hosting SiteGround offers, I wasn’t buying into it to leave my beloved hostgator shared with no limits at all. I clearly noticed the difference between a Wordpress person and a Developer…Anyways truth is a non

Apple Needs a Truly Wireless iPhone

Over the last few months, I have seen writeups on the internet about Apple wanting to make a truly wireless phone in 2021. All I have to say is; that will be brilliant. To be honest i only connect my mac to its cable while charging. Not a heavy music listener via head phones so I get by so easily with Bluetooth earphones. I use apple music so meaning I cannot transfer music via USB. For movies, I have VLC which transfers wirelessly. Oh wait, the iPhone can backup wirelessly to my mac. So… no need of cables. Well magic mouse 2 and magic keyboard already made us get used to that. Air Drop for

Don't choose Drupal first!!! Why?

So recently someone that just ventured in the web design world was fascinated by my use of terminal a lot when doing web projects. He asked me what CMS I use. I told him that I use Drupal. So here is the interesting thing; This guy comes over to my place to help him troubleshoot a CSS issue which had been bothering him while working on his HTML template which mind you he copy pasted from some random site. No Pun intended here but my point is he was mesmerized by my use of terminal 90% of the time and he wanted so much to venture into the use of Drupal as a beginner to kickstart his career. His
