"To fix this, we simply add a small snippet to the end of the URL to let the page know that we want it to add these paramaters. Add "?wmode=opaque" to the end of the URL."

Create a custom section in Sitecore to show the actual URL for a media item

Sitecore does not process default URLs such as http://somedomain.com/somefolder/. An ISAPI filter is required. A free, lite version is available here: http://www.helicontech.com/download-isapi_rewrite3.htm. Here's an example of the regular expression required: RewriteLogLevel 9 LogLevel debug RewriteRule ^/(sitecore.*)$ /$1 [L] RewriteRule ^/([^\.\?]+)/?(\?.*)?$ /$1default.aspx$2 [L]

By default, all popular Web browsers assume the HTTP protocol. In doing so, the software prepends the 'http://' onto the requested URL and automatically connect to the HTTP server on port 80. Why then do many pages explictly set http on all hypertext links? Surely it is easier to type "domain.com" than "http://domain.com". HTTP is also deprecated due to the ever-evolving web: The HyperText Transfer Protocol is no longer used to transfer hypertext. It is increasingly becoming used a means to transfer any content over port 80. Thus the definition "http" no longer means anything in the context of a URL since you are unlikely to be requesting hypertext. As the web evolves, next generation protocols will begin to replace http. By explicitly using "http://domain.com" in your links you are forcing your viewers of the future into using an obsolete protocol. By using "//domain.com" you will guarantee the protocol of tomorrow will work with your pages of today. Succinctly, use of the http protocol is redundant and time consuming to communicate. The internet, media, and society are all better off without it.

I recently happened to help a few customers resolve an issue with Helicon ISAPI URL Rewrite module when Sitecore runs in Integrated mode. So, I decided to make create a quick post about it as it took me awhile to figure out why this was happening. I even had to contact Helicon support channel to see if they had any insights into this issue.

"An easy way to parse the query string in your URL to grab certain values."

W3Clove is a free to use web service which crawls any given website to generate the sitemap of it (or accepts sitemaps directly) and validates each URL through the W3C's validator.

oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly.
