Custom 404 Pages

May 3, 2012 By

We always get asked how about making a custom 404 error page in RapidWeaver. Well folks, today is your lucky day :)

Why a custom 404 error page? The reason is quite simple you want to retain,attract and direct the attention of your visitor. It’s not their fault they have entered something incorrectly and got a dull looking page that does not resemble your web site.

Another plus is that is great for search engines, you never know they might stumble on a bad page so you can have links in your new 404 page to go back to where they should be looking.

In todays show, I will walk you through:

creating a custom 404 error page in RapidWeaver, more specifically page settings.
editing the htaccess file ,
what to put in the htaccess file for the 404 page
Yes, all of that in 5 minutes . So what are you waiting for …. ?

Faster Video Playback with S3/CloudFront

May 3, 2012 By

In this class we walk you through the key steps in using S3 and CloudFront to deliver your rich media files in RapidWeaver (or any other web design software) (in my example today we are using video)

We have been using S3 ever since it was first launched a couple of years ago in addition to the more recent CloudFront service. The initial videos we delivered when starting MacSupportCasts were delivered over S3. However, we now use a commercial CDN (Content Delivery Network) offering too but our image storage is handled by S3 for all those who want to know.

While we will not go into the boring details of signing up , if you have an Amazon.com account you are almost there as these are extra add-on services. What I will show you is the following:

  • S3 setup with the AWS management console
  • bucket creation
  • File permissions
  • configuring CloudFront
  • using the media file in RapidWeaver (also valid for other web design software)

After going through the initial setup, using S3 is a breeze and you will find it is a useful addition to compliment your web hosting which may not be so hot in delivering rich media in other words not great bandwidth throughput and general scalability which is always a problem with shared hosting.

Brace yourself for a nice 18 minutes of geeky fun, mistakes and all, and let us know what you think about delivering your videos over CloudFront/S3
