I've noticed a bit of a trend where web sites use the www prefix whereas blogs tend not to. As you say, the trick is to be consistent and to make sure that your host is set up so both www and non-www versions work.

Thanks for your tip Bloke. I just got my domain and was thinking if I should use with or without www because I saw some blogs not using www. I search Google for tips and I saw your blog post. Now, I am determined to use www, just like you. I have bookmarked your page and expect me to visit you often and expect my comments and questions too.

Newbie here,
Hye Munar

Shimul, that is why my comment above does not mention Google. From my point of view, it is not about Google. It is all about the most used CMS platforms for websites and how they convert plain text into click-able urls.

Here is an example. I am going to use Chris Crees domain as an example as he seems to like no-www. Any links in this post is added by the blog software. Also note that this is for the current software on this blog and this many not work or look right in the future.

Chris Crees domain is successcreeations[dot]com and I would not expect him to get any links when I talk about his domain at successcreeations.com

I am Mary Nicole Hicks and my domain is www[dot]marynicolehicks[dot]com and I would expect to get a link to my domain when I talk about it at www.marynicolehicks.com (Server software added click-able link and http)

Also note that we should be able to talk about a *.com file such as example[dot]com without it turning into a domain: example.com

That's right Shimul.

Why we discussed here about www and with out www site, because we scared about PR share. We all know that google is the provider of PR and they solved Canonical issue. So not need to scared about it. Google insert a small tool into their Webmaster tool section. It is called "Preferred Domain". You can mention here how google will show your domain. That means with www or with out www. After fix this google always see your website as per your Preference and will give all value to that domain.

I followed your advice for redirecting my non-www URL to my www.agoodhusband.net URL, but it still doesn't work. Contacted GoDaddy and they said it wasn't their problem. Any suggestions?

Ah, I never said Gates was nice! Though I think the ruthlessness comes as much from Balmer as from Gates. They are just red-blooded capitalists, you know the type that have done so well during W's reign...

Ditto to you regarding our exchange and recovering from the flu.

Ah, the trusty Apple 11 plus. That brings back memories. It was my first desktop, but I cheated and made my own clone. (Please don't tell Jobs 'cause I hear he has a lot of gunslinger lawyers on staff and he's still smarting over that one).

Anyhow, I will have to respectfully disagree over Billy boy. He played a little too dirty for my liking. He didn't get where he is by being a nice guy. If that's capitalism then I guess I was smart to get out of the game.

If you should change your mind about writing shoot me an email and I will create a guest account for you.

It was my honour and joy to talk with you today. I wish you a speedy recovery from the flu (I'm fighting it off myself).

Cheers!

I look at it holistically; Gates efforts to succeed is the same thing that any red-blooded capitalist would have done, he was just a lot better at it than most. Frankly, I wish I had his skills and connections at the time so I could do have done the same instead of him! :-)

My first programming job was as an engineering co-op programming Pascal on an Apple II with a Z80 CP/M card. My boss suggested we buy an IBM PC and I argued against it, but shortly after using it I realized how much better it was than what I was using. And the rest is history...

As for self-pity, I do have that but keep it to myself mostly; when I post on someone's else blog I figure it's best to be as honest with myself as I can be, and I know it was my decisions that were at fault. Otherwise I might get called on it by someone that was there!

Lastly, thanks for offering a guest writer spot, I'm honored, but I'm currently so far behind I don't have time to blog at my own blog, or time to convert it to WordPress. My only reason I have time to comment on your blog is I have the flu and this is easier than working. :)

I started my illustrious career programming mainframes before there were desktop computers or Apples and DOS. In my company's case we were flogging a CPM based Japanese desktop. When Gates hoodwinked his borrowed operating system to IBM our hardware literally became flying toasters overnight (no, we didn't make the screen saver).

I hear what you are saying about being victims of our own ineptitude but somehow I still find a measure of solace in my self pitty. :-)

It sounds like you have had an interesting a career Mike. Perhaps you might consider being a guest writer here @ Blog Bloke sometime? I'm always on the lookout for seasoned talent.

As a (former?) software developer I, like all software developers, have written code with a bug or two so I've learned not to throw stones. "Bugs" are like needles in haystacks; writing bugfree software is like proving there is NOT a needle in that there haystack; very hard indeed.

Of course a lawyer would probably just see those potential bugs as a "great opportunity." :-)

As for casualties of Bill Gates, I'd have to say that given free markets and free will its rarely fair to say a company is a causualty of another; instead I'd argue that they are a causualty of their own lack of execution and/or poor decisions.

I ran a company for 12 years that was once listed in the Inc 500 and though it still exists I'm not running it and it is a shell of it's former self. Why? I could say we were a causualty of our VC-backed competitor or that we were a causualty of Google making our value proposition less compelling but I will say instead it was my inability to execute a proper plan in the face of a changing world. (I of course learned a lot from that experience and am a better business person than I was at the time but I will still say that I could have been a better CEO back then.)
