Have you ever wondered how mobile-friendly a website or a web page truly is?

Perhaps you have concerns or considerations about your own website or maybe a competitor’s website being mobile-friendly.

If you haven’t heard, having a mobile-friendly website is a bonafide search ranking factor to give great thought and weight to, knowing Google’s upcoming algorithm change (scheduled for July 2018).

In short, if your website or web page loads slower than a postal service, then future search rankings are going to suffer, if you’re even ranked at all. 😳  So, how does one protect future search rankings?

About a year or so ago, emoji domains were not red, but white hot and well on their way as a “riches in the niches” phenomenon.

But as with everything in life, it’s good to stop, assess and take inventory from time to time in an effort to understand how much progress has or has not been made.

Although a good plugin to use for displaying the latest WordPress posts on a given WordPress page, a few of you contacted me about displaying the WordPress posts by a given category.

Of course, displaying the WordPress posts by a given category using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin is not a problem at all.

In fact, simply set category or category_id parameters within the display posts shortcode, and you’re all set.

[display-posts category=“fishing,hiking”]

[display-posts category_id=“123”]

However, it is a problem when using WordPress’ Display Posts Shortcode plugin causes a conflict with other plugins on your website.

So, what do you do when encountering a Plugin conflict attempting to list posts by a given category?

Yup, it’s the second Tuesday of the month and you know what time it is, right? That’s right! It’s time for Verisign’s Top Trending Keywords Report.

Moments ago, Verisign published to its blog May’s trending keywords registered for .com and .net domains.

I happened to visit Register.To today to tidy up my account a bit in regards to ensuring renewal notifications are enabled and all payment information is up to date.
