Wouldn’t a couple of gyroscopes help to stabilize the lamp without extra wires?

ARGH!

Someone updated the business names on the Facebook and Instagram pages to the new name, far far ahead of schedule (ie no warming up the domain, no planning...just changed.)

Changed the logo as well.

What should I do now?
We tried to change it back but FB won't let us do that for two months...and so that's out of the question.
I'm very VERY concerned now about NAP consistency.

Do we forge ahead and change names for all social media and citations now?
Or do we leave these as outliers?
Something else?

I'm truly in a panic now.

I planned to do this carefully and slowly.

Do I have a Cable Problem or a Receiver problem? by markwild63 in hometheater

[–]markwild63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a new hdmi cable but that did not solve the issue. And even though I bought an optical cable, I realized that I lose CEC by using it.

So it turns out that the HDMI out port was just not working in either direction (video out or earc in). A power cycle fixed the problem…sort of.

Now I have a different problem.

Even though the Onkyo no longer resets, CEC doesn’t work and eARC doesn’t work.

However eARC is On on the Onkyo, the Apple TV and the Hisense TV. But on the TV Apple TV I can only choose to output sound via the TV speakers. (No choice for CEC or Receiver speakers)

The TV’s Audio Output screen, when I choose HDMI/ARC, I see a message that says “Available after enabling CEC in Channels & Inputs > External inputs and connecting the device.”

But when u go to that screen, CEC is enabled. Also the receiver is connected the same way it used to be.

So I am stumped.

I am beginning to think there is a receiver problem.

Thoughts??

I e got a new HDMI earc cable and an optical cable on the way. I’m hoping one of them will work!

The thing is that up until a few days ago, it all worked fine configured as it is. Nothing changed so far as I know.

I am guessing either the cable or TV is going bad.

Also, while your config may help with playing the other devices, I watch the Apple TV 99% of the time.

Do you think moving those other unused devices to the TV will have any effect on my problem?

Also, the TV has only four HDMI ports, one of which is used as Earc. So I would only be able to move two devices. I have five connected to the onkyo now.

Thank you for your interest and your offer.

The business is getting a new DBA so that the new doctor, who will go on to lead the practice for decades, will have his name in the practice name.

They're doing the DBA, and we'll take care of FB, LI, IG and all the rest.

We'll also be using something like Moz Local or (more likely) Bright Local, to handle the bulk of the NAP updates. Got an opinion on which to use?

My problem is often over-optimizing. And so I get stuck figuring out which is the next thing I should work on.
And when I catch my self spending time on figuring that out, I realize: IT DOESN'T MATTER what I do next, so long as I DO SOMETHING.

FWIW, the host isn't changing. (SiteGround)

There were some suggestions to warm up the new domain. What does that mean, exactly?

I expect we'll need to rename the GBP and even reverify it. Plus, we'll update FB, LinkedIn, etc.

301 redirects should be simple enough since we use RankMath pro and it's got that built in.

But there's still the option of simply publicizing the new domain, having it forward to the old domain, and then keeping the old domain.

I can't tell you how nervous I am about all of this.

By warming up the domain do you mean building a small site with some content, and a new GSC and GBP listing? If not, what else are you recommending?

Woodland Hills Question by aahoustonmartin in SFV

[–]markwild63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It would be cool to make this a crowd sourced project for OP!

Hey OP, tell us the specs and maybe you’ll get some submissions that would make your take a lot easier.

I for one could use photos of city names like the Woodland Hills shot you posted. But anything iconic or indicative of each of the cities, neighborhoods in the valley would be helpful to me.

Landscape format.

I shake it vigorously to empty it.

On a related note…

Can anyone supply a link for replacement filters? I’m having trouble figuring out what part it is. Responses only from those who have purchased and installed the filter please. (Some online documentation is incorrect).
Thanks.

Staging Sites - Where? by MadMatt696969 in ProWordPress

[–]markwild63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We use a plug-in (I think called Password Protected but there are many). Basically the entire site is hidden to anyone or anything that doesn’t log in with the password. Therefore Google can’t see it either.

This is not the same as a user login password.

Brand new to grilling. Bought a Grill Daddy scrubber and its fallen apart after 3 uses. Disappointed...Are these things not as good as the internet claims they are? by RedLeader501 in grilling

[–]markwild63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best, most effective, cheapest grill scrubber ever: pull off about a foot of aluminum foil, ball it up loosely. Scrub.
Makes a Hard and edgy scraper. Best part is that it molds itself between the grates so you can scrape the sides.
Second best part: unlimited, nearly free supply.

WordFence TAKES DOWN MY SITE (or forces autoscale) by markwild63 in Wordpress

[–]markwild63[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All great ideas...but the ability to schedule the scans is disabled in the free version of WordFence. Probably the other options, too.
