Convert All of your Old Images to Next-Gen (WebP) with PowerShell.

I couldn't find anything on the web that I liked to recursively convert all images within an unlimited number of sub-folders into WebP for Windows, so I wrote a quick PowerShell function to do it for me and wanted to share it with the world.

Optimizing ZenDesk Chat for Different Devices

Website based chat systems like ZenDesk Chat can be essential in turning a lead into a sale or even giving customers peace of mind 24/7 by offering online support. In ZenDesk's "infinite wisdom" they neglected to provide customers with a way to effectively reposition the chat button for users browsing your site on mobile phones. Their Javascript API's setPositionMobile function only provide a means to dock the button in the bottom left, bottom middle, or bottom right. Ummm... well, what if you already have something occupying that space? I've seen the question asked many times, but ZopIm never bothers to respond with an answer, so I decided to create an extension method and show you how to do it too!
