I like the php-slugs code at google code solution. But if you want a simpler one that works with UTF-8: function format_uri( $string, $separator=”-” ) { $accents_regex = ‘~&([a-z]{1,2})(?:acute|cedil|circ|grave|lig|orn|ring|slash|th|tilde|uml);~i’; $special_cases = array( ‘&’ => ‘and’, “‘” => ”); $string = mb_strtolower( trim( $string ), ‘UTF-8’ ); $string = str_replace( array_keys($special_cases), array_values( $special_cases), $string ); $string … Read more
You need to have mod_rewrite enabled. Placed it in .htaccess in that folder. If placed elsewhere (e.g. parent folder) then RewriteRule pattern need to be slightly modified to include that folder name). RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} (googlebot|bingbot|Baiduspider) [NC] RewriteRule .* – [R=403,L] I have entered only few bots — you add any other yourself (letter … Read more

If the structure of your site doesn’t allow our algorithms to find good sitelinks, or we don’t think that the sitelinks for your site are relevant for the user’s query, we … Read more
Most of the roles you see were defined as part of ARIA 1.0, and then later incorporated into HTML via supporting specs like HTML-AAM. Some of the new HTML5 elements (dialog, main, etc.) are even based on the original ARIA roles. http://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria/ There are a few primary reasons to use roles in addition to your … Read more
If you have multiple items as value of a property, you could use an array: <script type=”application/ld+json”> { “@context”: “http://schema.org”, “@type”: “WebPage”, “video”: [ { “@type”: “VideoObject” }, { “@type”: “VideoObject” } ] } </script> If you have multiple items on the top-level (not as value of a property), you could use a (named) graph … Read more
It is not a question of preference. /base and /base/ have different semantics. In many cases, the difference is unimportant. But it is important when there are relative URLs. child relative to /base/ is /base/child. child relative to /base is (perhaps surprisingly) /child.
A Beginner’s Guide to mod_rewrite. Typically this will be nothing more than enabling the mod_rewrite module (you likely already have it enabled with your host), and then adding a .htaccess file into your web-directory. Once you’ve done that, you are only a few lines away from being done. The tutorial linked above will take care … Read more
Use PushState and Precomposition The current (2015) way to do this is using the JavaScript pushState method. PushState changes the URL in the top browser bar without reloading the page. Say you have a page containing tabs. The tabs hide and show content, and the content is inserted dynamically, either using AJAX or by simply … Read more
