Press Any Key! Where is ANY Key on Keyboard?Yesterday

Can you search and find the ANY key on your keyboard? My friend was prompted by the computer to “Press ANY key to continue” and he could not locate the ANY key! I know it sounds simple enough and is merely a trick of words, but is a common computer troubleshooting question.

Search ANY Key

Where is the ANY key?

Professional tech support can help you find ANY key

In case you still did not get it, there is no ANY key on the computer keyboard. It basically means you can press any key on the keyboard - a,b,c,d,e, 4, F1, SPACE… and the computer program will continue. That’s it.

Next time, don’t get frustrated.

WordPress Comment Pagination Causes Duplicate Content PagesYesterday

WordPress 2.7 brought out some great new features, a major one being comment pagination, which basically breaks all comments into multiple comment pages so that they are more organized, easier to read and lead to faster loading of pages when there are thousands of comments out there.

When I checked my Google Webmaster tools today, it notified me of hundreds of duplicate title tags and duplicate meta descriptions pages on our site which were not there before. A quick look at this duplicate content issue  revealed it was caused by multiple comment pages.

As you see most of these pages had comment-page-1 type links. But our wordpress theme did NOT support comment pagination, so we had not actively enabled this feature. But a look at the Wordpress Admin > Discussion area revealed the feature was checked by default.

I checked other blogs also which I had upgraded to Wordpress 2.7, and all had the same duplicate page iss

Lifehacker Lead Editor: Gina Trapani to Adam PashJanuary 5

Lifehacker is one of the most widely read blogs in the blogosphere and the new year brings a change in guard wherein lead editor Gina Trapani hands over charge to Adam Pash.

Mr. Adam Pash will take over as lead editor of Lifehacker on January 16th.

To be clear, my decision has nothing to do with the big bad economy or any kind of scandalous company blow-up—it’s just time for me to move onto new projects. It’s tough letting go of something I love so dearly, but it’s easier knowing it will be in very capable hands. No one knows the ins and outs of this site and its community as well as Adam, who’s been posting away at my side for over three years now.
