In the world of SEO, changing a domain name maybe like a sin. You can loss visitors, page rank, mutual incoming links and Alexa traffic rank. You should not do this unless your domain is have a pattern like this “10 worst domain names” or because of branding issue.

SEO FAQ by Jill Whalen says there is a way to minimize traffic lost caused by domain name change. Instantly you just need a 301 permanent redirect to tell search engine that the old URL is no longer to be used, so they can update their index. It can be easily done by putting it in a .htaccess file, but it is not always the best choice.

Using 302 “temporarily moved” is the best choice instead of 301. The old URL will remain on Google’s index and search rankings and Visitors will go to your new URL after clicking your link. After your new URL starts showing up in the search result, you can change to 301 permanent redirect for your old domain.

Hot Potatoes created by Half Baked Software is a must-have tool for teachers or trainers who want to create a web based interactive exercises for students. Hot Potatoes allow you to create interactive multiple-choice, short-answer, jumbled-sentence, crossword, matching/ordering and gap-fill exercises and then publish it on the World Wide Web.

There are six basic applications included in Hot Potatoes distribution:

1. JCloze to create gap-fill exercises. The gaps are created by selecting words that need to be removed on a text. Students must fill the gaps with correct answers. Clues and alternative correct answers can be provided.
2. JQuiz to create question based quizzes. The quizzes can give visual feedback on answers, hints on questions and free letter help upon users’ request.
3. JCross to create crossword puzzles. As in JQuiz and JCloze, a hint button allows the student to request a free letter if needed. A crossword can be created automatically from a selection of words.
4. JMatch to create matching or ordering exercises using text and/or images. Items on the left are matched with items on the right by dragging and dropping or from answers selected from a drop down list.
5. JMix to create jumbled sentence exercises.
6. The Masher to combine quizzes and exercises into a sequence and upload to a Web space. The Masher can be used to custom the look and feel of the combined ‘unit’ as a whole. You need a commercial license key to create units of more than three files.

During web development, sometime you (I always) need to test with a domain name, whether inside local computer or online. This post will tell you how to run multiple domain on your local PC, without setting up a DNS server. I am using Apache 2.0.53.

Case: You want to develop a website for your-domain.com and need to test it online under certain domain name.

Solution:

[1] Create a local domain name

To differ between online and local domain, you need to create a local domain name (sub domain is okay), i.e: local.yourdomain.com

[2] Edit your hosts file

In Windows XP, the “hosts” file can be found at “C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc”. Put your local domain/subdomain there with the following order:

127.0.0.1 local.yourdomain.com
