A few months ago Google introduced another way to recommend websites that you like. It is similar to the “like” button for FaceBook. At first, the button was referred to as the “Plus 1″ button. Now it is known as “Google Plus”. You might have seen the Google+ buttons start popping up on websites. You have to have a Google account and also be logged in to that account to be able to click on a Google Plus button.
The Google+ button was the first thing that Google made public before announcing their new social network called Google Plus.

Why PHP:
Orderly Code – As far as writing the PHP code verses the ASP and .NET code (I will simply refer to this as ASP). I personally think it is easier to get started with the PHP code as it is possible to just include <?php echo “<p>Hello World</p>”; ?> inside a file that is named with the php extension and it will work. Granted for ASP the statement would be <% Response.Write “<p>Hello World</p>” %>. In my opinion this is a little easier to see in PHP even at this simple a level, but I will admit it is almost the same. However when you get to much larger functions and classes, PHP truly seems to be a more simple language to both read and write. This is partly because it is its own language built from C and C++ while ASP is built on Visual Basic. The fact that is named Visual indicates that is meant to look pretty, but when it is made to do many complex things it tends to get bloated. PHP (and thus C/C++) can be incredibly optimized even when it is very large, after all the *nix operating systems are built on C/C++.
Remember, keep that code organized. Not just for you, but for everyone else including the next developer who might look at it.

Piwik is a great, free, open source website analytics tool that allows you to gather an incredible amount of information about your website visitors and traffic. A mysql database will need to be created before running the installation (most web hosting companies include mysql databases as a part of their basic hosting packages). After downloading the files from the Piwik website, simply browse to the directory where the files were installed and follow the steps for the installation. The entire process takes about 5 minutes to complete. Piwik is similar to Google Analytics, however, the main feature that sets Piwik apart from Google analytics is the “Real Time Visitors” module.
