Make The Post Name As Custom Permalink In Wordpress

I do like to have my permalinks as custom as possible for pretty URLs and for search engine optimization. A personal favorite of mine is using the postname as a permalink. To achieve this, go to the Settings, click Permalinks. On the box that say Custom Structure, enter the code below:

/%postname%

HTML Comments

Inserting a comment in html allows us to easily describe what the code does. It is very useful if you will be handing out the code into a developer so that things get easier when it's the time to work for it. The code below is an example on how insert a comment in html.

<-- css stylesheet reference -->
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" />

HTML5 Code Validators

There are two websites that I use for validating code for HTML5. Validating code markup is essential in web development to see if your code is at the web standard level.

Remove WWW in URL through htaccess

I always want to have my website url remove the www in the address so I can have shorter address displayed in the address bar on a web browser and at the same time save keystrokes in typing a URL. Example, I have the website http://www.abc123.com I will just want to have http://abc123.com instead. Just insert the code below in your .htaccess file and you will be able to remove the obvious www in every website address.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^your-site.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://your-site.com/$1 [L,R=301]

HTML5 Doctype

HTML5 simplified the doctype with a much shorter and easier to remember code markup .

<!doctype html>

That's it! It's the new doctype for the new version of HTML. If you're using HTML5 now, this may not be new to you already.
