Early this Spring we launched the new website for Whitten landscaping. Whitten is located in South Yarmouth  and they serve all of Cape Cod. Their services include: Landscape Construction and Stone Work, Bark Mulching, Irrigation, Maintenance, Sweeping and Drain Cleaning, Estate Maintenance and Fertilization. Whitten uses green products and recycles their lawn clippings. View their website today.

The headline of this post may be a bit over dramatic (as I’m sure parts of Eastham Cape Cod have DSL) but I was shocked when learned that DSL was not available at my home address here in Eastham. I don’t live “in the middle of no where” and there are other services (Comcast) available here no problem, and it’s 2008 for goodness sake.  FIOS in case you’re wondering, is also not available here (big surprise).

What I did find at the Verizon site was a nice little Flash animation demonstrating how fast Verizon’s two top High-Speed offerings are compared to old school 56K Dial-Up. Even though the Flash media didn’t actually represent anything ‘real’ it probably is very effective at selling the two tiers of fast Internet service.

I was working on one of my affiliate websites this evening (which is doing quite well thank you) and needed a reference for constructing an .htaccess file (to create some 301 Redirects and such) Luckily I remembered that I had authored an article back in 2007 on my own blog JosiahCole.com on that very topic; Almost Perfect htaccess File for WordPress Blogs The tutorial not only applies to WordPress based websites but also a broad range of site configurations.

It’s one of the more popular articles on Josiah Cole, and consistently ranks as one of the top 5 most read articles in Google Analytics for visitors and time spent on page. Highlighted in Spot #3 in the screenshot below:
