Egaladeist · 17-10-2004, 09:44 PM

First of all...I would like to point out...and thank..Sniper for being instrumental in solving what was causing me a major pain in the ........
Secondly...as a general request...does anybody have any advice on how to publish and get the word out about my site...
any suggestions will be useful....thanks

Sniper · 17-10-2004, 09:28 PM

One way is to have a link in your signature on forums, e.g. like mine! Look at the top forums for the edit signature link or click here

other options are asking people to exchange links (related sites) so you have a link to their site and they in return have a link back to you, in most cases if you have a new site, people tend not to wana exchange links, so you could end of emailing loads of people!

You could pay to advertise your site...there are lots of ways you can go about it really!

Submit your url to google. But thats not totally reliable.

Waffle · 18-10-2004, 04:00 PM

Add some MetaTags within in the document (unless this is what Sniper told you to do), then submit it to google. That'll speed it up if your Tags are really relevant.

Egaladeist · 19-10-2004, 12:47 AM

Thanks Sniper for the advice....addis..I would if I knew what an url is....waffle..what's a metatag?
You guys need to teach me in baby computer language because I'm so new at this I'm not just a newbie...I'm a newborn...
thanks for responding...I really do appreciate it..but I look at most of the threads ( like I was looking at the Bargain and another zone yesterday ) and I haven't got a clue what you guys are talking about...you're leaps and bounds ahead of me

A Metatag is an HTML command that defines keywords on a website
for example: goto: Ebuyer (Computer Retailer)
now goto: "VIEW" in your menu at the top, click "source" or VIEW "Page Source" (in firefox) this shows you the HTML code of the website you are viewing.

On Ebuyers Website the metatag bit is this bit:

Quote:

You see the web designer has merely repeated the meta tag command, and entered all keywords that are associated with the content of the website.
(the more metatag keywords you have on your site, the easier it will be to find via search engines)

If you would like to understand a slight bit more i would suggest you have a look at this website:

http://www.24hourhtmlcafe.com

follow the website exactly as it says, in your own time, and you will understand things alot easier. hope this helps

if you have further queries you can add me to msn or e-mail me, and i am more than willing to help you out as web design is one of my strong points.

On a side note, if you search for, let's say, Koalas that live underwater, and you end up clicking on a porn site, and wonder how Koalas are related to porn, you now know that, in that case, meta tags were used to trick the search engine.

Thanks...ProcalX...and thanks for the offer I'll probably take you up on that....is that your website...or..just a good place to get information?

And..as far as gaming goes I'm much better at pinball...the arcade games take a little getting used to...don't have a sega...etc...I guess I'm the old man around here...my son's older than most everybody here...but I'm up to the challenge...high scores beware...they'll be dropping like flies

Wellllll....I've never seen an underwater koala but if I ever do I hope I have a camera :p

Thanks..I understand what meta tags are now...but what about the 1,324,675,897,345 things I don't know...need major help!

by the way...I'm a canuck too....we're slowly and ever so covertly taking over the world...hehehehehehehehehe!

harrack52 · 20-10-2004, 06:34 AM

What do you want to know exactly ?
I could help you in programming, as for the rest, I know as much as someone else.

We're not gonna' take over the world with Martin, that's for sure.

you're right there...what's he worth? ...300-400 million...like he can relate to the average Canadian!

Basically, if you follow the link i posted previously, and go through all stages of the website, you will start to understand the basics of web design, then you will ask questions, wonder how to do things e.t.c, and once you get to that stage, that's where we come in, by learning the basics, your building a foundation of knowledge that we can then help you build on.

I'm good with hardware, but im better at web design / coding
see these websites:
http://www.team-destiny.tk (design and coded) although the code is not very hard
http://www.alias-cs.co.uk - coded that

Once i find some good asp hosting, preferably free i will upload my asp script i've written. - my first all in one content management system

and it's very easily intergrated into any web site design

harrack52 · 24-10-2004, 06:17 PM

www.w3schools.com <------- This is your best friend for web programming: XHTML, JS, etc.

I don't know much about web programming, but I know Java enough to make interesting programs.

right now I have a functional albeit very simple 15 page web site in development...now ...I need to incorporate some simple animations to make the site a little more interesting...my DHTML won't let me make things move...when I click "mouse over" and then action...the only action that gets displayed is formatting all the others " fly in,etc..." are that colour that tells you they're not accessible

ProcalX · 29-10-2004, 08:51 AM

Not 100% clear on what you are describing as the problem, but to apply a line of Dynamic HTML to a picture or button e.t.c you must apply it to each individual picture or button, if you don´t it will apply it to the whole page, and you will get the same pictures / buttons doing the same thing.

If you are having trouble with links (by the sound of it) make sure that the path you specified, is correct to where the image is.

As i said, i´m not sure that i have understood your post, so please post back with a screenshot, or.. upload your website to the web and i will have alook
