Integrating Google Custom Search
The Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) is a server side program written in C++ for web developers to improve their individual search results. It comes in few different flavors as advanced as Google Enterprise Search servers to Google-hosted search pages.

Not everyone knows what is a virtual machine, let along using them. They are used by students and industry professionals to learn, program and test software operations in different platforms.

Optimizing print friendly version
Sometimes it is very important to provide users with access to “print friendly” (printer friendly, print file, etc) version of the web content. When publishing content focused pages, the added images / diagrams, side bars and other items that help creates a smooth surfing structures can also work against “printability” of a website. Newspapers, University and other text-content based websites are catered towards individuals who may want to have a physical copy of the materials published. But when a user try to print without a properly formatted print friendly option, it could print with; lots of black space in between, off centered, advertisements and occasionally not printing anything at all. This article is written based on WordPress CMS, but can be used as a guideline for any website with CSS driven print friendly files.
