How Odd Numbers are out & Even Numbers are in for Web Designer & Icon Designer or even for any designer

While I was designing Icons for my client, I realised that it is true in website design as it is in Icon Design: you can work in odd numbers,

When you have even numbers like 14px Square or 16px Square, you can easily fit a round box inside it, but in a 15px Square Icon, it’s tough to manage…

Here is The example…

Odd Numbers of Pixels:

Odd Pixels with 15px by 15px

Even Numbers of Pixels:

After creating WordPress subdomain multisite blog Adsense ads on subdomain blog doesn’t get registered & Data in Analytics & Adsense doesn’t match…

I have been using WordPress CMS for the last year or two & integrated Adsense ads & analytics without any errors or problems.

But just after creating a WordPress Multi-Blog System with Subdomain, I started facing problems because my pages were not getting registered or Adsense ads clicks were not getting registered, so I was losing money and analytics data count.

A few suggestions before starting: don’t follow idiot blogs that don’t follow Google’s Rules.

So here are the steps to integrate the WordPress Multi Blog System with Google Analytics & Adsense.
