If you have run a Wordpress blog for any length of time, you should know how large the SQL database can get.

This is largely due to the “Post Revisions”, which get auto-saved.
If you edit a post a few times, a huge list of revisions gets saved to the database. You can see these at the bottom of the post editing page.

This post has easy methods to disable and delete the post revisions, which are automatically cached by Wordpress.

A DHTML calculator with error checking.
Definitely more stylish than the traditional JavaScript calculator, if nothing else!

Very easy to customize and would fit well into a website providing a variable rate service and suchlike.

It would be better to use css for all the styling and layout information, but it’s easier to copy and paste the source code below as one file.

It’s the Little Things that Count.

Let’s not beat around the bush.
One missing tag can cause several validation errors.

A few small tweaks to your existing code can produce great benefits from search engines.
You don’t need to make every page meet HTML 4.1 Strict conditions, but I think XHTML 1.0 Transitional is suitable. Some times you will have to forfeit valid code for functionality or appearance.

This tutorial covers some of the more common validation errors, and how to avoid them.
