Few months ago I had a strange problem in my arcade gaming website Arcadevine. One day I was browsing my High Score Games website and accidentally found that the game play count of one game was suddenly increased by thousands in a matter of few seconds. I was very surprised because there was no traffic surge at that particular game page. I checked my server logs and found that my website received very little traffic at that time. I could not explain the problem and thought that probably the script has a bug. Arcadevine was build using PHP-Quick-Arcade script and I asked Jcink who was the creator of the script.

Since then nobody has ever complained to me about the sending score bug. Also, I have tested this fix various ways and I am sure that it works.
Previously I…

After more than a year of web mastering I decided to start my own blog celebrityon.com. This domain was sitting on my server and I have never done anything on it. My earlier idea was to start a celebrity gossip blog on it, but I eventually dumped that idea. Mostly because, I found that niche is not my cup of tea! Also getting genuine contents and photos of celebrities is not easy if you want your blog to be a legitimate one. I’ve seen many celebrity gossip blogs that steals content from many larger sites by copy-pasting their content or grab their content using various wordpress plugins especially rss-grabber plugins. WP-o-Matic is one of the widely used rss grabber wordpress plugin that I have tested earlier and it worked great. Many website uses that plugin to fetch contents from bigger and better blogs via the rss feeds. This way of getting…
