Added for You - Do You Want To Save Time With Your Web Design?
Simplicity is in the eye of the beholder, especially when it comes to your web site. What is simple to the creator (you) may not be so simple to your visitors.Ever try to assemble a “do it yourself” furniture piece, like a stereo cabinet? I’m sure the manufacturer knew exactly what it was doing and wrote the instructions so that anyone could follow them, right? But when you’re sitting in the middle of your living room up to your ears in pieces of wood, screws, brackets, and some other unidentifiable hardware items, it’s pretty clear that what seemed so simple to the instruction writers may not be so crystal clear to the user.This can be especially true for web sit

It seems funny to think that there could be similarities between career development and motorcycle school, but there was one thing that stood out to me so much that I just had to share it. Although it really wasn’t that obvious to me at the time, 5-some-odd years ago, but looking back, it was a comparison just waiting to be acknowledged.First of all, if your state offers a motorcycle training course, and you are interested in getting your license, I highly recommend that you take it. I believe MN’s course is 16 hours long, broken up into 4 days-classroom and ride time. Not only do you get your license at the end (assuming you pass everything), but you learn safety man
Before you know it, you have a monster on your hands. This monster is eating up your time and energy and money.
Here are a few tricks I've learned to save you time and money with your web design.
1. Avoid Windows servers, if you can.
I'll admit I've never used one. I've had too much trouble with Windows on the PC, to risk it on my web site. Most geeks favour Unix. It's been around longer, and is more stable. Web hosts offering Unix variants like Linux have always been cheaper. They also seem to offer a wider range of toys. I need SSI (Server Side Includes), SSH (secure Telnet), 10 MySQL databases, Cpanel, PHPMyAdmin and a UK IP number. And you can get this for $15 a month.
If you're in business for yourself, consider Unix/Linux. If you want to be a full-time employee, consider Windows/Microsoft. Many businesses use it, as it's compatible with their office software, they like that a major company supports it, and they distrust something that's free.
2. Server Side Includes are the poor man's CMS.
Each web page can be 'stitched' together using Server Side Includes (SSI). You can 'call' a header and footer HTML file, using SSI, in each web page. That way, you can make site-wide changes in an instant. For example, you can add Google Adsense to the top or bottom of your site immediately.

Today I'm going to tell you about a secret link within eBay, the world’s top e-commerce platform today.Go to the eBay homepage and look around the bottom of the page. You will find a link called ‘Affiliates’.Click on it and really study what’s on the page! This is the start of another of your income streams on the World Wide Web.As you read through the details, you will see how this really works. You direct people to eBay through your affiliate link, and if they buy something you get paid a commission. But here's where it gets better: even if they don't buy anything but simply sign up as a new member, you'll get paid $12 to $22 if they make a winning bid within a

Pay per click advertisers often advocate split-testing. For those in the know, it's almost obvious. But for those who don't understand what it means, it's a little abstract. Here's an overview of what split-testing is all about.So you have an ad that's up and running. To get to this point you had to find a product, do some keyword research, and write an ad that you think will not only generate clicks, but will also generate sales. That's great. If you're doing that, you're on the right track.But you can do better. How? By split-testing.When you have just one ad out there, it's difficult to tell what's working. That's where split-testing comes in. Split-test

The human instinct to respond to the new and unusual is something that we as communicators have to work around. How do we best engage our audiences on a subject that's not new – a fundraising appeal for an existing program; an overview brochure on a service organization that's been around for fifty years, with pretty much the same focus; or marketing services that we've offered for over a decade?I've been doing a lot of thinking on this issue and was amazed when my rabbi sermonized on the same topic last Saturday. We had just witnessed a wonderful adult bat mitzvah (a Jewish coming of age ceremony, usually undertaken at age 13 but one that can be studied for at any point

“Know your customers”. Every business owner knows how important it is to keep your customers happy and coming back for more.In “Become the Squeaky Wheel,” Michelle Dunn explains how a credit policy is relevant to their customers. “If they don’t know their customers and don’t make their policy and forms easy, fast and simple to understand, they could lose the customer, taking the sale with them and any word of mouth advertising,” explains Dunn.So what can business owners do to make their credit policy effective? First, business owners should implement a credit procedure for any new or existing customers. They should learn exactly what customers are looking for

3. Which CMS to use?
A Content Management System is very handy if you have a community-based website, or want to let others add content to your site. It must have a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) add-on. This means a novice can type in formatted HTML the same way he could a formatted Word document. He presses on-screen buttons to bold or underline words, and make hyperlinks.
Another keyword to look out for is HTMLArea. This means someone has made an addon to cause all 'textarea' form boxes to have word-processor-style buttons above them. This allows someone who doesn't know HTML to add it to your CMS. Saves YOU having to do it, and that is good [grin].
Many are free. I can't really recommend one at the moment, except perhaps Mambo (http://www.mamboserver.com). I've tried quite a few others, especially PHPNuke.
A CMS allows you to set up a website with professional features in a day. The downside is you can spend weeks customising it. You may find, as I did with PHPNuke, that it's unsecure, that it can behave eccentrically, and that essential third-party addons may not work properly.
A CMS is for geeks with time on their hands. I would dearly love to be able to point to one and say to the small businessman "Put your trust in this". I can't yet.
4. Put keywords in the HTML.
Fairly obvious, but webmasters don't go far enough. *Any* image name, ALT tag, form field, bolded word or hyperlink can have a keyword in it. So why not do it?
This is where someone who tweaks his HTML code by hand gains a great advantage. Newlines and double blank spaces are redundant
