Improve your Google ranking with Peter Mahoney, 20+ years SEO & Wordpress experience
Right now I’m on a train to London to do some research ahead of a website I’ll be making for a national cancer organisation’s conference.
We’ve worked some interesting features into it too–including a “design your dream conference wiki” that should up their social networking shares substantially.
I’ve decided to keep this blog for bigger picture stuff that all my clients can benefit from. My coding tips, and the geekiest of my thoughts, live here now.
I’ve been using my main blog, http://petermahoney.net/blog for pretty much everything I’ve wanted to post about (that wasn’t only suited for the bowels of Facebook) and a bunch of quite developer specific posts were appearing.

With the new site and all I’ve some CSS to get through.
I wanted to make the “pre” element work as a code snippet display for me, and needed a fix to get it to wrap text (since the “width” attribute has been defunct for some time).
Here’s the solution!
pre {
background-color: #F2F2F2;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px;
white-space: pre-wrap; /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap; /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap; /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word; /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}
The link you have to make to share something to Twitter is quite simple:
http://twitter.com/share?text=text goes here
But getting a URL and hastag in there is a different matter. To be honest most developers do know how to include the URL, but hashtags have proved more elusive!
http://twitter.com/share?text=text goes here&url=http://url goes here&hashtags=hashtag1,hashtag2,hashtag3
Here’s an example to try out:
And that’s it!
The number of people I see selling SEO services who really have no idea is appalling. (I’d say shocking, but there are a lot of opportunists out there!)
I’m going to break my series of SEO posts into the following sections:
Naturally there is a lot of cross-over between them, but over the course of the series you’ll get a better idea of some key concepts, and some fairly original (but proven) ideas for their implementation.
All of course to get you more quality visitors!
