How to detect an iPhone visitor

Published on February 23, 2010 in Tutorials and iWeb. 0 Comments

AllAboutiWeb not only has an article on how to make your iWeb site look good on an iPhone or iPod Touch, it has recently published a tutorial that allows you to detect if you have a visitor from one of Apple’s mobile devices.

Removal of Comment Forms

Published on October 24, 2009 in Nothing Important. 0 Comments Tags: , .

I have decided to remove the ability to add comments underneath tutorial posts. The basic reasons for this are:

  • Most comments are spam. Although I have Akismet installed, quite a lot of spam comes through. I am, quite frankly, tired of sorting through the spam.
  • Most comments are questions regarding the respective tutorial. I try to reply to most of the comments, but by adding more and more comments, everything becomes a huge mess. The number of comments shown on the page is beyond an amount someone can coordinate through.

It hurts to loose the interactivity between me and the viewers, but it is such a relief to no longer have to fight the spam.

Questions regarding tutorials can be posted in the Apple Discussion forums. See you there!

We have been working on a new version of iMap that is about to be released. There are a bunch of new features and enhanced ones that all need to be tested.

  • You can now verify either by uploading the HTML file or adding a meta-tag.
  • Meta-Tags are being added 2x as fast with less errors.
  • iMap has been localized into German. Anyone interested in localizing iMap then please contact us at the above email address.

Follow me on Twitter

I have recently (actually already a long while ago) joined Twitter and so I invite you all to follow me. Twitter is actually the reason of why this blog hasn’t been receiving any kind of new content. It just takes to incredibly long to post something. Twitter and Tumblr (my Tumbelog) are just more appropriate for lazy people like me. I hope to see you on Twitter and Tumblr.

I have just released an update for iMap. It includes the following changes:

  • “Create” button now works by hitting “Enter.”
  • Addition of meta-tags occasionally failed with Google Verification files. This has now been fixed..
  • Corrected “Help” menu items to include new video tutorials.
  • Enhanced speed connections with MobileMe/.Mac.

If you have problems updating, let me know. Keep in mind it’s always best to run the latest version of iMap.
