Converting Points to Pixels
I’ve started working on a new website design, and just realised my photoshop layout – all the text was scaled in points not pixels. This client I am working for is quite particular on having the design look just right so I completed some research and came across the following formulas and they worked!!
Saves me from guessing sizes and comparing with the original photoshop design!
Converting Points to Pixels
Pixels = Points x 96/72
Converting Pixels to Points
Points = Pixels x 72/96
Too easy!

HTML Character Codes
E.g. when you want to add a © symbol to your footer – you should add this the right way! Use the HTML ampersand character code <code>©</code>.
This website page lists a lot of HTML character codes! A cool little reference to know about.

Javascript – changing image script
I wanted an easy way to change to change an image on a page by simply clicking a link. Although JQuery is a very powerful tool, it seems funny to have all that unnecessary code for something so simple.
I came up with this.
// Here is the image you want to change
<img id=”imageID” alt=”" />
// The link that changes the image – just one line of Javascript. Pretty Easy.
<href="javascript:onclick=document.getElementById('imageID').src='newimage.jpg'">Link Text</a>

301 Redirection with .htaccess
Today I was asked by a SEO company to implement a 301 redirection via a .htaccess file.
This is something I have never done, and to be honest not sure how this affects SEO but here is how I implemented it.
Create a .htaccess file with the below code, it will ensure that all requests coming in to domain.com will get redirected to www.domain.com
The .htaccess file needs to be placed in the root directory of your old website (i.e the same directory where your index file is placed)
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
Please REPLACE domain.com and www.newdomain.com with your actual domain name.
Note* This .htaccess method of redirection works ONLY on Linux servers having the Apache Mod-Rewrite moduled enabled.
