We see so many people these days that are guilty of using just any old off-the-shelf-software when trying to create themselves a basic web presence. Creating yourself an effective website from scratch is no easy task by any means, but if you are looking for something that will deliver the marketing results that you are after and give you a good ROI, then you are going to have to get a little bit more technical.
There is no hiding away from the fact that all of the search engines hate sloppy code, and you are almost guaranteed to have a website which has been built on a sloppy base, if it wasn't written by a professional web developer. The main problem that can arise from having a sloppy coded website is the fact that the search engines may not even index it, and if your site doesn't get indexed - well, then nobody will be able to find it - and if nobody can find it - why have you even got a website in the first place?
A cool and sleek looking website will be able to WOW your site visitors, the use of XHTML for your pages content and then CSS files for design will lead to a combination which works together in harmony and results in the creation of a very cool looking website which is backed up with solid un-cool code. Let's take a look at just a few of the benefits which this combination has to offer…
XHTML is a very strict language with no ambiguity, unlike the older version of HTML. If your website is a well-coded XHTML site, it will lead to your site visitors being able to view your site in the exact same way, whether they are using a PC, MAC, mobile phone, or even a PDA, they will all get the same great viewing results.
Adding the efficiency of CSS means the sites design will only need to be defined once, unlike the old-fashioned method of where you included the style alongside the content of every requested page. This makes each of your site pages smaller which then leads to a faster download speed.
Finally, the search engines just love it. Search engines are only ever interested in content, not style. By combining XHTML and CSS you are ensuring that the search engine spiders are not going to get confused when it comes to indexing your site pages.
A nice looking and fast loading site which can be easily indexed by the search engines is sure to lead to web success. But success isn't in the bag just yet, a website alone isn't going to make your business for you, you are going to need a good and well planned marketing campaign, but by using XHTML and CSS you will be giving your online business the best possible cover and a real shot at gaining the success you desire

My Journey into CSS and DIV Tags
I am an old time web designer that has been creating websites before CSS Style sheets and DIV tags became popular. Until recently, I resisted the urge to have all my fonts and site formatting controlled by an external CSS Style sheet or CSS File.
One of my clients insisted that I do everything possible to make his site as SEO compatible. After my research was completed I learned that CSS could be a valuable tool for my own website.
Here is what I have learned.
Use your CSS File to control all of your website formatting.
Font styles, colours and sizes.
Table definitions.
Background colours & photos.
Put all the photos that you can into the CSS Style Sheet because to the search engines, text content is what matters and not photos. Google will sometimes penalize you if you have too many photos, or photos that are too large.
Use meaningful names for your CSS style classes and other definitions. When you have a whole site completed and you look back at your site, style89 won’t mean anything to you.
Put all of your website content (text) into your website pages without formatting. All formatting should be in an external stylesheet. Your html web page should contain your text content only if possible.
Tables - never use tables for formatting. Never use imbedded tables. Google will penalize for content located in imbedded tables. Replace tables with DIV’s wherever possible. Keep your JavaScripts as a separate .js file to be included on each page.
Putting my new skills to test, our new design process will be as follows:
Create PhotoShop version of template for client approval.
Create html version of template on Dreamweaver using only the external style sheet feature.
Go through the Dreamweaver version using a simple text editor and take out any extra unnecessary code. Make sure all tags are opened and closed properly.
Put every formatting options possible into my CSS Files using meaningful style names.
Create the rest of the site based on the template approved by the client.
Test your website on Explorer, FireFox, Safari and Opera. I found that even though the browsers are supposed to be 100% compatible, they all act differently and sometimes produce unexpected results.

Two column CSS layout tutorial for beginners
I expect you have some basic understanding of (x)html, and you may or may not have a bit of css knowledge. I won't explain how tags work, for example. I'll assume you know what the h1 tag is, for example.
So, let's get right to it! Open up your html editor of choice (I'll be using gVim). First, we'll create a simple xhtml page that has all the basic elements we need, but no styling information. It's generally a good idea to separate content (the stuff in the html file) from presentation (the style information in the css file) whenever possible.
Depending on which site is carrying this article, the formatting might be lost on the following code.
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
My CSS Web Page
Notice the id attributes on the div tags. Those allow us to style those parts of the page with CSS. Each id can only be used once in the page. If we wanted a reusable style, we'd use a class.
We've broken up the page into several logical sections: the header, the left and right columns, and the footer. Notice it's all wrapped in a div with an id of "page."
Now let's see how we'll style those sections with CSS. Make a new file in the same directory as this page, and name it page.css.
First, we'll set down some style information for the page as a whole.
body, html { margin:0; padding:0; } body { min-width:780px; } #page { margin:0 auto; width:780px; }
The margin setting for our page div centers it on screen. The min-width attribute for the body is required to make this work in some browsers. Notice we also set the margin and padding of the page to 0. The 780px is arbitrary, and you can change it to whatever you want (within reason -- remember that not everyone has a large monitor resolution, nor does everyone have their web browser maximized while browsing).
Now it's time to get #left and #right next to each other.
#left { float:left; width:280px; } #right { float:right; width:500px; }
The columns should be next to each other now, but we're not quite done. We have to "clear" our floats, and we can do that with our footer.
#footer { clear:both; }
This should get you going on the path to making your two column web design

Importance of an Easy and Simple Graphical User Interface in a Website
Graphic User interfaces (GUI) were designed to give users proper control over their computers. Most websites, whether a business or a plain one, focus more on the GUI of their sites as users expect a level of sophistication from web pages also. The main objective is to create an interface that does not place unnecessary obstacles in the path thereby assuring easy navigability.
One of the most important features of a good user interface is the practice of adding clear navigation aids. Some websites lack this common sense and jumble up the local organization of information. This makes it frustrating for the users who vow never to visit the website. Clear graphics, summary screens, text overviews and graphic identity schemes can help users find a particular product or service without wasting their time.
Another important aspect of a good graphic user interface is an efficient hierarchy of information. Users need to have information in minimum possible steps. Research suggests that users prefer menus with a maximum of five links. So, an efficient hierarchy of information with minimum steps throughout the menu pages will do the trick.
Custom web site design in India prefers to design websites with an easy user interface in mind. The firms make sure that the interface metaphors should be logical, familiar and simple. The same goes ecommerce website design in India. The websites are built with a consistent pattern of modular units, graphic themes, easy shopping cart features, basic layout grids and easy hierarchies of organizations. A company specializing custom ecommerce website India ensures the corporate identity is present on every web page, thus creating a consistent user interface.
Custom web site design in India always has a consistent approach in the layout of titles, page headers, footers, and navigation links. Through constant research on the needs of the target audience, Indian website designers create sample scenarios. This helps them to determine whether a casual user be intimated by a complex menu scheme or whether an experienced user seeking a specific information can be helped by the design of the web page.

Finding the Right Website Designer
This is undoubtedly an age of Internet marketing. Internet marketing consists of a huge range of actions such as selling products/services on the Internet, selling spaces in your personal website to Google or other advertisers and doing affiliate marketing. In short, if you are making money from the Internet with the help of a website or without it, you are an Internet marketer. Now, if you are a marketer, you need a shop. On Internet, your website is the shop, which is visited by prospective clients. As a consumer will not like to buy anything from a shop that is shabby and disorganized, similarly, your clients will leave your website immediately if it is not appealing to them. This is why recruiting a professional website designer is so important.
If you search on the Internet, you will find numerous website designing agencies. How to find the right website designer is a question that haunts many website owners who would like to have their websites designed nicely by a web designer. Well, there is no 'X' factor that makes an agency different from the other. Most of them offer excellent services, which should satisfy you. Still, your cannot just choose any designer as it is a matter of your website. There are various factors that you can consider to decide this.
Get a reference
The value of a good reference is immense, as on Internet you can be hardly sure if a company is genuine or not.

If you find an agency on the net, visit the page that displays contacts of some previous clients. You should call these people and ask if they were satisfied with the service. Believe me they will be happy to help.
Look and feel
Before zeroing on an agency, test the look and feel factor. Visit their website and try to think if you really like their website design. Do you like the graphic design on the top or the flash image at the bottom? What about the layout of the page? If you think it is quite mediocre or completely useless, then you may not want to recruit them to design your website. Trust is a major factor with website designing and if you are unable to trust your designers, you better not recruit them.
Price quotation
When you decide to recruit a Website designer, you must have a budget in your mind. Ask your friends with past experiences what can be the cost to design a website the way you require. Once you have a rough estimate of how much you will be willing to pay for the job, ask for price quotations to the web designers you have short listed. Many web design agencies provide a free price quotation service, which allows you to get an estimate of how much they are going to charge you. Reject those agencies that will charge you way above you would like to spend.

Javascript popup status
Javascript popup is currently one of the best methods for web advertising and catching the surfers attention. We will discuss in this article here the impact of javascript popups on various groups of people :
1.Advertisers :- The advertiser benefits the most because his message gets through to the end user. As simple as that. The advertiser(s) can create different types of pop-up windows which will have the advertising message displayed on it. These popups are not only effective with popup blockers but are also effective with general website audience because they eye catchy in nature.
2.The Search Engines :- Various search engines like Google, Yahoo and Msn provide their toolbars with popup blocking facility. Such toolbars were introduced because many web advertisers took undue advantage of the popup method to create tons of popups for their websites and webpages. Unfortunately the search engine companies cannot make popup blockers for such type of Javascript Popups because removing Javascript and Dhtml can make the website look improper and ugly. Still Microsoft released Windows Xp service pack 2 which has one such option which can block Javascript Popups.
3.General Users :- It is good for the general users that the Javascript Popup windows have replaced the conventional popups. The conventional popups were very annoying and could hang your browser or operating system for some time. These new Javascript Popups are not actually new windows but an imitation of the old Popup windows in the same browser window itself and can be closed easily on a single click.
4.Developers :- The developers have a new challenge to create new and different types of Javascript and Dhtml Popups. The types of popup Ads that can be created with the use of these Javascripts popups is left to the imagination of a web developer. The developers have created various softwares and scripts to create such type of popups even if the user does not know any programming language or have any knowledge of Javascript coding. Some such softwares that fall under this category to create Javascript popup are :
a) Impact Popup Software.
b) Hoverads Software.
c) Javascript Popup created with Jvw Popup maker.
What is so good about these applications is that you can create eye catching beautiful pop-ups by just choosing the popup style you want that is available with the application, generating the code and pasting it in your doc. The style may vary from conventional popup windows to advanced Javascript popups for optin ads, limited time offer ads or jumpy popup ads to catch the website visitors attention.

Is DHTML Dead?
September 1997 saw the release of Microsoft's Internet Explorer™ 4, an event which not only changed the face of web development but officially marked the start of the infamous 'Browser Wars'.
Shipped with every version of Microsoft Windows™ (beginning with the final beta release of Windows 98), Internet Explorer soon became by far the most popular browser on the web.Version 4 saw the introduction of Dynamic Hyper Text Markup Language (DHTML) support, combining aspects of scripting with Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) technology and thus allowing web developers the option of bringing far greater interactivity to their previously static HTML documents.
The industry was ecstatic; DHTML provided an effective solution to a large number of problems and seemed ready to lead the way into a new era of client-side web development.
Then came the browser wars of the late 1990s which saw intense conflict between Internet Explorer (compared by many to the Galactic Empire in Star Wars) and Netscape Navigator (The Rebel Alliance?) which caused DHTML's quest for dominance to stall in the face of incompatible cross-browser DOM (Document Object Model) and CSS implementations.
Further hampered by many users' refusal to upgrade, DHTML became a cutting-edge technology used by only a few developers due to its limited potential audience.
Indeed one might say that the fear of 'Browser Backwards Compatibility' issues (a sadly misguided attitude which plagues the web development industry to this day) is at least partly responsible for the eventual demise of DHTML.
Meanwhile, with Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator unable to standardise parameters, a company called Macromedia quietly released a product called 'Flash' which managed to circumvent browser limitations and consequently cornered most of the market previously considered to be DHTML territory thus hammering another nail into the coffin.
Though many may argue that DHTML is alive and well, consider for a moment the fact that Microsoft's .Net framework has all but made DHTML obsolete.Whilst the industry's acceptance of .Net was initially cautious, the system has proved its value during the past few years and is now seen by many (especially since the release of ASP.Net 2.0) as the future of the internet.
As .Net gathers more momentum we are likely to see a new phase in the internet's evolution with even Flash's position on the web threatened (especially in the face of its SEO issues) by the creation and expansion of new .Net applications.
So, DHTML is well and truly relegated to the obsolete technology orphanage or the bookshelf of web development nostalgia. Face it; few developers will employ the use of technology which cannot be trusted to function 100% accurately even between Windows platforms when there are other, far more stable alternatives out there.
The fact is that, at least for commercial and application development, DHTML really is dead.

Xhtml Web Design And Benefits Of Accessible Web Design

According to the Accessibility Discrimination Act, all websites should work alike for disabled people, using screen readers and also similar for standard web browsers such as the Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Opera. In addition, the authorised Google web master guide affirms the checking of broken links and correct HTML.
XHTML web design techniques allow generating a website with correct code. Additionally, Google is inclined towards validating websites with better pace, better comfort, and high performance deliverance.

Knowledge of free software development works
SCO also sent a letter to some 1,500 commercial users of Linux distributions, warning them that Linux may be an unauthorized derivative of code owned by SCO. That is, SCO alleges that Linux actually to some extent is owned by SCO and may not be distributed under the GPL. The letter further claims that users of Linux may have legal liability because of this.
I remember the AT&T case against BSDI and the University of California, which arguably stalled BSD development for a few years. Indeed, it arguably was the root cause of Lenox's popularity, because Linux development was not stalled. SCO's case against IBM is in some ways a reprisal of the AT&T case, and I fear that it has a similar potential to stall Linux development.
SCO was willing to speak only with people who signed a Draconian non-disclosure agreement (NDA), one which essentially permitted SCO to declare any information it provided to be confidential, for more detail visit www.the20seotools.com regardless of whether the signer already knew it, and which offered no circumstances under which that information could be revealed. Most Linux developers are unable to sign such an NDA, as it easily could prevent them from ever again working on the kernel. Similarly, employees of any company that works with Linux cannot sign such an NDA.
I have never contributed to the Linux kernel myself. However, I have worked with free software for over 10 years, including acting as a maintainer for projects owned by the Free Software Foundation. I have plenty of personal knowledge of how free software development works. I currently am not employed by anybody, but simply working as a contractor on work not related to Linux.
Thus, I felt going in that I was in a good position to sign the NDA and to analyze the information that SCO presented to me. While SCO easily could have made it impossible for me to contribute to the Linux kernel, it had no reason to do so. In any case, I had no particular plans to do any kernel work.
Before going to meet SCO, I asked three times if it would be willing to change the NDA. I suggested that SCO should change the NDA to permit the disclosure of information when legally required by a court and to permit the disclosure of information when SCO specifically agrees to it. I also suggested the NDA should be changed so that information I already knew before meeting could not be treated confidential. The only response I received was SCO forwarded my suggestions to its counsel.
SCO argues it purchased full rights to UNIX from the old SCO, which purchased the rights from Novell. The UNIX patents still are owned by AT&T, for more detail visit www.offline-promotion.com but SCO has purchased the right to use them. There was a dispute with Novell over copyright ownership, but SCO claims this has been resolved and SCO does indeed own the copyrights.
In general, SCO claims to have purchased all rights to all versions of Unix System V and all prior versions of UNIX, which were developed by AT&T.
My concerns are with free software, not the actual ownership of UNIX. I believed at the start of the lawsuit that SCO owned the rights to UNIX, and I suppose I still am willing to believe that. I think that any legal issues here clearly are a matter of the purchase contract between Novell and the original SCO, and it should be more or less straightforward for the new SCO and Novell to settle them
