    WSL2 and Docker with Magento 2

    In case anyone else stumbles across this post, I've managed to get this up and running on Windows 10 WSL with Ubuntu 18.04 The Docker image that worked for me pretty much straight out the box is bitnami/magento; the only exception being I had to add a port mapping in the docker-compose.yml...

    WSL2 and Docker with Magento 2

    Hi I'm currently using WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux) for Laravel development having moved over from my Mac. The speed is fantastic and I have no regrets. I see that Docker now works with WSL2 out the box. Has anyone setup WSL2 / Docker with a Magento 2 image in the container ? Am I...

    Fun times in Tesco! Most interesting thing to happen to me in a while...

    Depending on how you feel about the situation now, it may be worth speaking to a solicitor. Maybe you have a claim against the store. If you were taken to the back room, without choice, you were arrested. They don't actually have to say the words 'you are under arrest'. From what you have...

    So - Linkbuilding - is it still worth it?

    Sure, you can rank for something really obscure without links, Google has to serve something up if there is nothing else to offer. Can you provide an example for a site with decent content, ranking for anything remotely competitive without backlinks please?

    Zend Frame Work 1.12 / Doctrine 2 Techy Question

    I will definitely check that out. I do love the routing in Zend; ie it is pretty easy to set up user accounts on a subdomain in addition to static routes that go via the main domain. There seems to be endless possibilities! There is only so far I would trust it :) I still think it is pretty...

    Zend Frame Work 1.12 / Doctrine 2 Techy Question

    Do you mean integrating with Doctrine 2? If so, mainly from a fair amount of reading which indicates this isn't a bad choice. I've had a play with Doctrine 2 and its pretty powerful from what I've seen. My schema is relatively complex and I appreciate the automated mapping Doctrine does...

    Zend Frame Work 1.12 / Doctrine 2 Techy Question

    Hi Its been a while since I dabbled with Zend, but I have recently picked it up again. I know a few Zend Framework gurus frequent these forums! I've set up ZF 1 with Doctrine 2 (using Guilherme Blanco as the glue to hold it all together). The MVC pattern suggests using 'thin...

    I want to learn web design, but how hard is it?

    If I was starting fresh I would do the following:- 1: Learn HTML and CSS from online web resources. (free) 1b: Learn some photoshop basics. 2: Do a couple of Open University courses - (courses were roughly £600 each when I did it) M206 - Can't remember what it was called, but it was a...

    Best SEO tool for competitive analysis?

    The best competitive analysis tool is multiple competitive analysis tools all used together in my opinion. You would be mad to use just one surely? SEM Rush, Wordtracker, Google Keywords tool, Majestic, the SERPS themselves etc, etc

    How effective are paid for listings in Directories to improve a site's rankings?

    Interesting thread. There are thousands of directory sites, many based on generic PHP scripts someone has just downloaded and thrown up, with the idea of making money from submissions. I'm pretty certain there are still several that Google trusts and are worthwhile getting links from if...

    Trade Mark Query - Too Descriptive?

    I didn't realise that if a phrase stood no chance of being registered as a trade mark, one could still face action for passing off. Thanks. With regards to why someone would want to choose such a name, I can make one very valid point. Lets assume that people frequently type the phrase...

    Trade Mark Query - Too Descriptive?

    I have a query in relation to a potential domain name I am considering purchasing. As I don't want to publish the exact name I have in mind in public for obvious reasons, I shall provide an example from a different niche. Example:- Lets say "car classifieds" is an existing website that has...

    Legal Advice Needed - New Ratings Website

    The implications above have always scared me away from starting some form of reviews site. Even if I had disclaimers in place, and a 'system' for dealing with complaints. Within the fore mentioned complaint system, I would need to make a decision on whether I considered the review...

    SEO Improvement!

    Not sure its that simple! If you are going after a non competitive / longtail term then sure max out with on page. That and a few links will probably rank you. If its a competitive term, then I'm pretty sure onpage is far much less significant in the grand scheme of things. I'm not saying...
