Fixing "Invalid XML: too many tags" [Google webmaster tools]

I tried to use my blog feed as a sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools, but it Google complains about “Invalid XML: too many tags describing this tags” in several points in the feed. I found in several places that this due to the format of the feed, a simple change to ATOM will fix it. But I’m using a Wordpress Feedburner plugin to redirect my blog’s feed to the Feedburner one. This plugin redirects all feeds (/wp/feed, /wp/wp-atom.php, etc.) to the feedburner feed (that for some reason Google doesn’t like). ...

How to fix the cyberduck quicksilver plugin

If the CyberDuck plugin is not working for you, (you can’t right-arrow to see the bookmarks) make sure that you changed the default nicknames of the bookmarks. Probably if you open the Console you’ll find some “missing nickname” errors there.

Listen to radio online (in Mac OS X)

It seems that Windows Media Player and RealPlayer are the only supported options so I thought I couldn’t do it but then I found Flip4Mac WMV Player also known as Windows Media® Components for QuickTime, by Flip4Mac™ . After installing it and restarting Safari 4, I could listen to SR P1 with no problem.

Firefox detecting wrong Java Plugin version on Windows.

First read this Mozillazine page In my case the problem was that some program overwrote the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/JavaSoft/Java Runtime Environment/BrowserJavaVersion with the old value 1.6.0_01. When I set it back to 1.6.0_06 everything worked fine again. Now the addons window looks like before it showed Java Platform SE 6 U1 instead

Updating the java compare plugin

I received some comments about my java compare plugin about my plugin ignoring preferences for text font and formatter settings. I didn’t address those at the beginning because I didn’t notice so as soon as I realized that was missing I put my hands at work. The java formatter settings was easy just modifying the old final Properties options = new Properties(); final CodeFormatter codeFormatter = ToolFactory .createCodeFormatter(options); with final Map options = JavaCore.getOptions(); final CodeFormatter codeFormatter = ToolFactory.createCodeFormatter(options); That’s easy. The font issue was also easy, just adding the following snippet to the plugin.xml did the trick: ...

Useful WordPress plugin - Redirector

Very useful WordPress plugin to redirect with a “301 moved permanently” from one of your post to any url. I created a Wordpress page out of a post and I wanted to redirect everybody from the post to the the page. My first solution was to include a link to the page in the post but doing an automatic redirect is better as it allows to move the google pagerank from the post’s URL to the page URL
