Add an additional admin user in Magento
Oct 31st
This morning I probably spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to add an additional admin user to Magento. And although it turned out to be really easy, it took some digging to find the answer on the net. I finally found the answer on the forum board:
- In your magento admin backend, go to Admin> System> Permissions> Users.
- Click “Add new user”
- Enter the user’s information.
- Be sure to click on the “user roles” tab on the left menu to assign the account to a role. (You can create more limited-capability roles using ADMIN> System> Permissions> Roles so that users can’t reset anything too deadly if you want.)
- Save user.
Hopefully this post helps to save someone else wasting 15 minutes looking for the answer on the magento forums.
Hyperlink your header logo
Oct 31st
I was working on my mom’s WordPress blog tonight and came up with a custom logo in Photoshop. I figured out how to insert it without a problem, but was struggling with a good way to make it “clickable” and hyperlink it to the blog’s homepage. That is until I found this lively link:
Make your logo clickable | Wwohn.com
And I quote:
If you cannot find the <img> the logo is probably the background image of a <div> or <td>. this would mean that you should make the entire <div> or <td> clickable.
You can make a <div> clickable with the following line of code:
<div onclick="location.href='http://www.yourwebsite.com/';" style="cursor: pointer;"></div>
You can make a <td> clickable with the following line of code:
<td onclick="location.href='http://www.yourwebsite.com/';" style="cursor: pointer;"></td>
In the examples above, pointer of the mouse changes if the mouse hovers the <div> or <td>. This provides visitors an indication that the area they are hovering is clickable.

How do I flush my computer’s DNS?
Oct 31st
Most DNS clients cache the results of name resolution requests. This speeds up name resolution if multiple lookups are done to the same address, such as is common when browsing the web.Sometimes a bad DNS entry will be cached and you will need to either flush the DNS cache to get rid of it, or wait up to 24 hours for it to be dropped from the cache automatically.
How to Flush DNS in Microsoft WindowsIn Microsoft Windows, you can use the command ipconfig /flushdns to flush the DNS resolver cache:
C:\>ipconfig /flushdns
Windows IP Configuration
Successfully flushed the DNS Resolver Cache.
You can also use the command ipconfig /displaydns to view the DNS resolver cache.
Twitter Font
Oct 31st
Have you always wondered what font is used in the twitter logo? This information can be useful if say, you are trying to create your own take on the logo (as I am).
Well, a little bit of searching and I found it! The name of the font used in the twitter logo is “Pico-alphabet” and here is the link to the site where you can downlad that font for free:
