SQL Server Express is a free edition of Microsoft SQL Server family that although fully functional, it has some technical limitations like maximum database size per database. It also has some features missing from paid editions. One of those features not available with Express edition is SQL Profiler. In this post I will list the alternative tools for SQL Profiling that can be used with either SQL Server Express or can be used as the SQL Express replacement.

Microsoft Edge browser for Windows 10 has many features, but one of them may cause problems. This feature overrides the original style of telephone numbers with its own style. It also automatically adds clickable links, sometimes even to data not representing phone numbers. I encountered this issue recently and this article will show the solution to the problem.

When you want to add some external links to your sidebar for your Blogger website, you can use the Pages widget/gadget for that purpose. The problem with this gadget is the way it is displayed for mobile devices. It is displayed as a dropdown menu containing the links, which might not be what you want. In this article, I will show you how to modify the template code for the Pages gadget, so that it is displayed the same way as in the desktop version.

Recently I started to learn how to use canvas HTML5 element and the first thing I tried to do was to draw a small rectangle. Next, I wanted to an add animation loop and move that shape. After that worked, I wanted to add a bunch of them all moving in different directions and this is how my first particle system was born. This article will show you how to create one yourself. The particle system is a pretty basic one. Each particle gets a random color, random direction, and random speed when they are created. After they reach the edge of the canvas, they will bounce off of it.

Recently I modified the style of my tag cloud widget in a way, so it is less of a "cloud" and more of a list of tags with each tag in its own lines. With so much empty space on the right side of the tag, I wanted to add additional information to the visitors besides the name by showing the tag's count number of posts. I expected that the parameter for this behavior would already exist, but it turned out it doesn’t after looking at wp_tag_cloud function, which lists all parameters. Luckily, there is a filter available which we can use to make this work and is the topic of this article.

If you were making changes to the WordPress site theme and the admin bar (also known as a toolbar) suddenly disappeared, you are not alone. This happened to me too. I noticed that the admin bar at the top of the page was missing on the front-end after making some changes on my theme. The admin panel was still accessible through /wp-admin/ path and inside the dashboard, the admin bar was not broken. In this post I will show you why this happens and how to bring it back.

Tag Cloud Widget gives visitors the ability to browse different topics based on tags on your site. Recently I wanted to customize it a little for this site and assumed the widget itself would give you these settings, but you can only edit the most basic parameters. Instead of widgets, we can display the tag using WordPress function wp_tag_cloud in the template, which supports more parameters. But what if we want to use the existing cloud tag widget? Luckily, there is a filter available that allows you to do that and is the topic of this article.
