During a cloud migration from a on-premise Exchange server behind a commercial firewall to a full Office365 Exchange we noticed the amount of spam that was getting through. Here is an example of the email.
The phishing email looks very genuine, but isn’t. We hope you find this information prior to an incident at your facility and it helps you thwart any attempt at gaining access to your facilities network.

This is often very straight forward; however, we recently ran into an issue where an account in Analytics and an account in the Search Console wouldn’t link. The Search Console only showed a small amount of the properties we have. We often set up an Analytics account and then set up a Search Console property and link the two. This time when we tried to link them no matter what we did the Property we were looking to link with the Analytics wouldn’t show up. When we hit “Add a site” we were directed to the right property in the Search Console; however, there was no way to link the two.
We found a way to list all of our properties by following the link from the following page:
https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1120006
Using this link directed us to all of our Properties, but still didn’t link up the two platforms of Analytics and Search Console.
The following link lead us to the right answer:

When we set up the Property in the Search Console we did as “Domain“, but what we needed to do is go back to the Property and add it as a “URL Prefix“.

We had a call from a customer with the issue where her emails were not leaving Outlook and just stacking up. We checked profiles, passwords, and all the usual suspects; however, new profiles and such only fixed the issue for that day. When the issue appeared the following day we dug deeper and saw the following Creative Cloud storage was popping up in the email.
The customer wasn’t sure what this was but when she clicked “Yes” the email sent. It didn’t send for us; however, we disabled this “Add-in” by doing the following:
After this the emails were leaving the outbox.

We recently needed to open a .webp file to resize it to match the other logos needed on a website. We discovered someone has created a plugin to work with Photoshop. We are using an older copy of Photoshop CS6. Here is link to the Plugin:
https://github.com/webmproject/WebPShop/blob/master/bin/WebPShop_0_2_0_Win_x64/WebPShop.8bi
We downloaded it and put it into “C:\\program files\adobe\photoshop(64 bit)\plugins\“. We did need admin rights to paste the file. Restarted Photoshop and we could open the files

Here are the steps to get to that menu and see the custom stored zoom webpages.
Menu >> settings >> privacy and security tab on left side >> scroll down to additional content settings >> Zoom levels
From there you should be able to see any custom zoom settings Chrome saved. Click on the X to delete the setting.
We have seen this issue pop up from time to time, and we would often delete the database entry “core_updater.lock” in the “options” table. Today we installed the “Fix Another Update in Progress” plugin which made the task quicker and easier.

It is very common to have a form on your website that you want users to download. We often convert them to .PDF files or we have event zipped them to force the browser to download the file. We recently discovered a much simpler way by just adding “download” to the <a> tag. We learned this from the follow page at W3Schools.

We started a new site using DIVI because a DIVI layout pack fit what the customer was looking for. From the start we jumped into the Customizer in the child theme and the preview looked perfect; however, the front end never changed. We changed a background photo and this changed till we exited the page builder. We have never had this issue.
Out of frustration we started over from scratch and got the same issue from a different layout. We cleared out the DIVI cache by going to Divi > Theme Options > Builder > Advanced.
We found our fix by turning off the “Static CSS File Generation“.

Building a WordPress site and using WPForms as the basic contact us form. I wanted to get a bit more fancy with an additional form, and wanted a states dropdown. I found a quick solution from Bill Erikson‘s site that was quick and worked perfectly.

While working on the SEO for a site we discovered we got different results from Google and Bing; moreover, Bing didn’t index our Meta Description they used the copy on the page. The titles were the same. It is a WordPress site running Yoast SEO using a DIVI theme. Yoast showed the SEO as being excellent and no real errors. We had to conclude that Bing will index your site the way they see fit.
The site was in both Bing and Google’s webmaster tools, and neither one of them showed any errors. We measured the length of the site’s page description and they were all less than 155 characters. Yoast evaluated our the way the descriptions were written and gave it the green light. We had the site evaluate with RYTE.com and they found no issues and gave the site a score of 87.
We scoured Bing Webmastertools and the web and didn’t find much, so we decided to put this post to see if we get comments. We only found a small amount of others out there with the same question. We are looking for a way to contact Bing and see why. What helped our final conclusion that the meta description that Bing uses can be made up by Bing was the following article from Yoast. They admit that if Bing finds your description to be inadequate then they can make their own.
