Added Self-Documentation on Scriptalizer.com

Minor update to Scriptalizer.com today. I added the option to include a comment block in the generated file.

/***************************  File generated by Scriptalizer.com DateTime: Thursday, March 5, 2009 2:24:36 PM CST  File list:  SpryData.js  SpryEffects.js  SpryXML.js  xpath.js *****************************/

As you can see, this will help you remember what files you "squished" together :)

FYI, saved over 100K on those Spry files.

Javascript Filesize summary:

Size before: 217.45 KB
Size after: 113.64 KB
103.80KB SAVED!

Scriptalizer.com updates: yuicompressor 2.4.1 and CSS combination/compression

Mon, 26 Jan 2009 06:15:00 GMT

Couple quick notes on Scriptalizer.com:

I think it is cool that the app has quietly worked its way up to almost 40,000 KB of trimmed white space/carriage returns/etc (and even earned itself 18 diggs as of this post).

Today I rolled some updates out to the site. Scriptalizer uses the yuicompressor to do its minfication so I updated the jar to the lastest available version (2.4.1).

Now offering CSS combination and compression! There is an additional file upload element on the form now. Allowing you to upload multiple javascript and css files for combination and minification/compression.

Enjoy and PLEASE let me know if there is any odd behavior.

Thanks for reading!

Robots and main page accessibility

Tue, 15 Nov 2005 06:00:00 GMT

On my quest towards e-stardom (aka a relevant and content-rich website), I realized that the navigation towards my older "news items" was somewhat lacking. My solution for this problem was to create a side bar menu that would contain all of the news item titles in descending date order (aka newest first).

A day or two after this change, I began to notice a positive side-effect to including all of these titles as links on the main page...The robots (spiders) were crawling all through my site! I'm not 100% sure, but I can't imagine how this increased indexing would hurt my chances of being returned in some search results.

In a possibly related subject, a Google search for 'Aaron Lynch' now returns this page in the top 10 search results (#6 as of this entry) and an MSN search returns www.AaronJLynch.com as #3!

Does anybody want my autograph?

UPDATE 1/25/06: Either Google has changed my ranking somehow, or my switch to BlogCFC has harmed my accessibility somehow. I now turn up on like page 5 or something terrible. Back to the drawing board!
