Official Tweet Button Released by Twitter

Twitter has now released a new Tweet button for there service. This function was previously offered by TweetMeme's Retweet button. Similar to Facebook's Like button, the new Tweet button from Twitter allows a visitor to send a Twitter message from your site.


Twitter offers a page to help you construct your Tweet Button:

http://twitter.com/goodies/tweetbutton

On this page, you have the option of how your button will appear:


The text that people will include from this Tweet can be customized

The URL that you want linked to this Tweet
The default language



You can also recommend up to 2 people to follow for this Tweet button to recommend to the visitor
When you have completed the customization, it's easy to insert the code into your site because Twitter will generate it for you.  Cutting and pasting the code into your site will complete the process and then you are up and running.

That's it.  It's a very similar process to the Facebook Like button.

How To Run Chrome From Within Notepad++

If you have recently tried to Run  Chrome from within Notepad++ recently, you've probably encountered the same issue I did.  Chrome didn't run. The fix is actually really simple.  Open up the Run box in Notepad++ and browse to your installation of Chrome. ie.  C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\Chrome.exe Select the file when you find it.  Now, the trick is: Put quotation marks around the path you see in the Run  box.  Now, put 1 space after the closing quotation mark. Type this: $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) It'll look something like this: Click Run .  If Chrome opens, click Save and set your hotkey.

Proper Viewport Scaling on iPad and iPhone

So, this is a little silly and I'm a little embarrassed to say that I've spent far too much of my time on this issue. I had a multi-page site that wasn't displaying correctly on my iPad.  One page would look great, but the next would have the top menu cut off on the right and everything would be slightly zoomed in. I realized that it was a scaling issue, but for all the experimenting I did with the meta viewport tag , I couldn't get it to work. Then I thought of something...some pages didn't have as much content as the others.  The longer pages were displaying great, it was the pages short on content that weren't.  So, I went ahead and set a min-height for each page of 1050px (I figured it had to be a little larger than the 1024px portrait height of an iOS device) and voila, it worked. All the pages showed correctly.  Now, I fully admit that this is most likely a hack that isn't considered the "proper way", but I am absolutely open to sugge...
