I have recently begun working with Google Tag Manager to make it easier for some of my clients and coworkers to manage tracking and conversion tags on websites. In the past, whenever someone needed a new tag added, I would have to either add it to every page manually (if they had a site built on static HTML) or add it to their template (if they had that sort of setup). In some cases (like WordPress based sites) I felt the need to create plugins to add the tags, so that if they changed to a new theme, the tags would still be present. Now, however, with Google Tag Manager, when I first begin work with a client, I can just add a single tag to their site, and from then on, adding, editing and removing tags is a much simpler process.
The basic setup is pretty simple, so I won’t go into that in too much detail here (but I’ll probably end up writing something on the subject eventually - and probably also a WordPress plugin). Instead, I want to focus on a specific issue that I have encountered with Google Tag Manager, namely, the inability to use document.write in your custom JavaScript tags.

If you have ever gotten really serious about a Google AdWords account, then you have definitely spent some time setting up AdWords Conversion Tracking. Conversion tracking is so essential to effectively managing an AdWords account that I won't run one without it. In the standard case, it is very easy to setup, you create a conversion, paste the code into your page and you're done. Unfortunately things don't always work out that easily. What if your conversion isn't defined by viewing a page, what if it's downloading a PDF, watching a video, clicking an affiliate link, etc? That's where things get a little bit trickier. I almost lost a client due to my demand of conversion tracking, and that is what forced me to figure out how to track conversions without displaying a "thank you" page.

The dc Smart Tip Calculator is more than just a tip calculator. It includes all the basic features of a tip calculator, including: bill amount, tip percent, split bill, back out tax, and round tip or total. However, in addition to all the basic functions, it also included the ability to rate your service in four categories: speed, accuracy, courtesy and personality. By rating your service, the dc Smart Tip Calculator is able to recommend a tip amount to match the quality of service you received. This is all based on the old adage that you should never encourage bad service by always tipping the standard rate. Basically, if you get great service, you can and SHOULD tip more than the standard amount. And, conversely, if you get poor service, you ought to tip less than the standard amount to let your server know that they need to improve.
To be honest, I've worked in food service, and I often find that I actually over-tip my servers, so this app helps me be more realistic with my tips. At the same time however, I have had some REALLY bad service over the years, and this app helps to make sure that I still give them credit for what they did right, even in spite of the aspects of their job where they fell short.
Let me know what you think about the app, either via email (

When working on my dc Redial Android App, I had to learn how to work with the Android Call Log Content Provider. The information I used was spread over several different sources, so I figured I would post an article detailing how to work with the Android Call Log Content Provider.
